hi i'm lee mirman with investments in sarasota
today i'm on the white sandy shores of siesta key
i've recently returned from my annual pilgrimage to the international builders
show
to take a look at the current trends that are shaping
residential and multi-family construction
one of the primary themes is that today's a homeowner is looking to have a better indoor
experience a better quality of life
while investing less money
there are four things
four products
that i saw that are going to help enhance the homeowners experience
first lennox an air conditioning company
has created an off the grid solar powered air-conditioning system
so a family or homeowner can keep their entire home cool whether there's a
power outage or they're off the grid
this is going to be a great energy savings
to their overall monthly utility bill
another company called anywhere solar
for less than a hundred dollars created a couple charging devices
for anyone that owns an ipad
or phone is going to be able harness mother nature for their charging
when somebody leaves for the day they put the charger outside and it absorbs
the sun or the wind to create a full battery charge and at night when they
come home and plug it in courtesy of mother nature they're able to
recharge their phone or ipad
one of the other things is the electric fireplace
eighty five percent of homeowners say they'd love to have a fireplace in
their next home
electric fireplace is
very cost effective
especially for us here in sarasota to be kept warm in the few chilly nights a year
but to create ambiance all year long
and finally
because so many people are concerned about walking up stairs as they age there's a
company out of miami that created the pneumatic vacuum tube to retrofit
multi-story homes with one two and three person elevators
improving the quality of life and making second and third storeys accesible to all
I definitely think over the next couple of years we're going to see a lot of great things become
commonplace in our homes and it's going to cost less money to have those experiences
