Newly redesigned for 2009, Smart Home: Green + Wired, Powered by ComEd is back to showcase the ways, big and small, you can make eco-friendly living a part of your life. It is exhibited at Museum Of Science And Industry, Chicago through January 03, 2010.
Take a guided tour of this real, three-story modular and sustainable "green" home in the Museum's own backyard. You'll view and hear about the latest innovations in reusable resources; smart energy consumption; clean, healthy-living environments and easy ways to go green.
The redesign includes a bold color scheme, new furniture, the addition of a "green" baby nursery, a space-maximizing hallway office, new cutting-edge technologies, wind power, earth-friendly and city-friendly landscaping ideas—and much more.
The home—designed by Michelle Kaufmann Designs and built by All-American Homes— also focuses on what the future may bring to consumers.
