RIBA & BIID Accredited CPD
Designing the Connected Home
Wireless alone isn’t enough.
Explore how to design infrastructure properly from the start.
Course Overview
Most homes now rely on multiple connected devices, yet wireless alone cannot support the performance modern living demands.
This CEDIA CPD explores how integrated systems enable technology to be seamlessly incorporated into your designs without compromising aesthetics. Learn why considering a client’s technology use from the outset is essential, and how correct infrastructure planning supports performance, flexibility, and long-term value. You’ll gain an understanding of key integrated systems, including lighting control, climate, security, automation, energy management, and entertainment, and when to involve a specialist to achieve the best outcome.
