    Green Builder Media announces its plans to construct the VISION House, a green home exhibit in INNOVENTIONS located in the heart of Epcot®. Inspired by Green Builder Media's VISION House demonstration home series, the experiential exhibit will highlight the major themes of whole-home automation, energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environment quality, security, multi-generational design and durability. Visitors will learn that each house is a set of interactive systems, and that proper management of those systems will maximize comfort and minimize operational costs.

    “We founded Green Builder Media to create positive change in the world,” says Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Disney to demonstrate to homeowners that small behavioral modifications can make big differences in their environmental impact. Our goal with the VISION House in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® is to deliver a powerful and inspiring message that makes sustainability personal — to help families ‘bring green home,’ literally and figuratively.”

    INNOVENTIONS cast members will lead guests at VISION House through a guided tour, featuring building science fundamentals, integrated design elements, green products and intelligent systems that enhance the home's sustainability. As guests tour the home, they will be educated on the latest in advanced products and technologies, including:

    • Electronic vehicle charging station by SIEMENS.

    • Chevy Volt electric vehicle by GM.

    • High efficiency heating and cooling systems and controls by Trane and innovative whole-home automation system and door hardware by Schlage, both brands of Ingersoll Rand.

    • Durable and environmentally friend-ly exterior systems, including smog-eating tile roofs, cultured stone, bricks, permeable pavers and trim by Boral.

    • Ventilation solutions to improve indoor air quality by Panasonic.

    • Water-conserving fixtures, faucets, showerheads and home standby generators by KOHLER.

    • ENERGY STAR®-certified home appliances by Bosch.

    • LED lighting solutions by SYLVANIA.

    In addition to the onsite exhibit, Green Builder Media will launch a comprehensive technology platform that will integrate advanced online, mobile, digital and social media solutions to complement and expand the onsite experience.
