Schneider Electric is the primary supplier of electrical products for The New American Home 2008, which was built in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with the 64th annual International Builders Show, being held Feb. 13 through 16, 2008, at the Orange County Convention Center. Schneider Electric, best known for its Square D brand of residential electrical distribution products and wholly owned subsidiary Juno Lighting, Inc., has supplied load centers, air conditioning disconnects, structured wiring, a Square D Clipsal home lighting control system and Juno recessed lighting and lighting fixtures.
A key component of The New American Home is the Square D Clipsal lighting control system, which features a distributed control architecture, meaning functionality is built into each individual keypad or touch screen, resulting in high system reliability. This differs from a lighting control system with a central processor; if the processor fails, everything connected to it fails as well. The beautifully designed and architecturally inspired keypads and touch screens, available in a variety of finishes and colors, accent the d?cor of The New American Home 2008, said David Bruce, Eastern Region Sales Manager, Installation Systems and Control.
"Homeowners are demanding more from a lighting control system," Bruce said. "Not only are they expecting reliability, they also want the ability to execute pre-set lighting scenes with the simple press of a button, along with the option of managing other home systems from a central location. In addition to that high level of functionality, they also want input devices that are both attractive and stylish. The Square D Clipsal lighting control system offers those benefits for The New American Home."
The 6,725-square-foot, Plantation-style New American Home was built on a waterfront lot in the Water's Edge section of Lake Nona in southeastern Orlando. It features a two-story, H-shaped floor plan that provides extensive views of Lake Nona.
