Electronic House Magazine Announces Winners of Its 2008 Home of the Year Awards

Gold, Silver and Bronze were awarded in 14 electronic home categories.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – EH Publishing is pleased to announce that Electronic
House magazine unveiled the winners of its third annual Home of the Year
awards at the Electronic House Expo last week in Orlando, Florida.

The editors of Electronic House magazine received more than 400 entries
from 175 custom home dealers and installers to this year’s EH Home of the
Year competition. Winners in three levels—gold, silver and bronze—were
awarded in 14 categories and exemplified the far-reaching potential for
incorporating audio, video, whole-home automation, lighting control and
more into today’s electronic house. The past two years’ winning Home of the
Year entries have been featured in NBC, CBS and ABC news segments that were
seen by over two million viewers each year. “The fact that the major
broadcast news outlets have shown interest in this competition is a great
testimony to the high level home installations submitted as well as a
growing consumer interest in the connected home,” said Cindy Davis,
Editor-in-chief of Electronic House.

Electronic House magazine will devote its entire May issue to the
award-winning installations with featured photography, articles and
accompanying equipment lists. Look for the EH Home of the Year issue at
Barnes & Noble, Borders bookstores and on newsstands throughout the country
on May 1. In addition all winners will be posted on www.electronichouse.com
with expected visits to reach over one million. Look for video tours of
some selected homes online.

The grand prize category was awarded for overall Best Electronic House of
the Year. Other categories included winners for the best: Master Suite,
Outdoor Space, Family/Media Room, Kitchen, “Fun” Room, Home Theater
($10,000-$25,000; $25K-$50K; $51K-$100K; $100K-$250K; $251K and above),
“Wow” Factor, “Green” Home and Grand Spaces.

The entries were judged on the lifestyle benefits that result for the
homeowners and how easy each system is to use. “Music, movies and photos
shared in every room, connected lighting, climate control and security
systems as well as great home theaters for any size home are just some of
the benefits homeowners enjoy by having an electronic home,” concludes
Davis.
