NAHB, CEDIA and CEA to Sponsor Free Webinar on Builders and Home Technology on July 22

Even in a slower economy, home technology continues to be an important aspect of the home building and home buying process.  The Consumer Electronic Association’s (CEA) 7th Annual State of the Builder Technology Market Study shows that despite a softening of the home building industry builders still find home technology influencing their business decisions and those of their customers.
 
The NAHB, the Custom Electronics Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), and the Consumer Electronics Association invite you to take part in a free webinar that will look at the study’s key findings and what they mean for builders, remodelers, and their home technology partners and contractors.  A panel of experts representing these areas will offer their views about home technology’s growing importance, what trends they see emerging, and give insights into how home building professionals can use these to their business advantage.
 
The program is being offered on Wednesday, July 22, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm, EasternRegister at the Builder Technology Webinar Web site.  You will receive a confirmation of your registration and detailed instructions about logging in.

Free Webinar to Discuss Storm Water Compliance on July 29

With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tightening the screws on job-site storm water permitting compliance, NAHB is holding a free webinar on July 29 to give builders and land developers the information they need to cut through the maze of overlapping, confusing and cumbersome regulations so they can increase compliance and reduce their risk of enforcement action and high-dollar fines resulting from unscheduled inspections.

The webinar, presented by NAHB’s Land Development Committee with support from the Environmental Issues Committee, will give participants an overview of the regulatory framework as well as practical tips on how to submit storm water permit applications, develop storm water pollution prevention plans and survive inspections.

They will also learn about the latest trends and best management practices in storm water management.

"How to Get Through the Stormwater Regulatory Maze: Understanding the Alphabet Soup of BMPs, LID, TMDLs and SWPPP Processes" will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29.

The webinar speaker is: 

  • Jennifer Hildebrand, CPESC, CPSWQ, of Weis Builders, a third-generation, family-owned builder of multifamily commercial and mixed-use projects. At Weis Builders, which has offices in Minnesota, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas, Hildebrand specializes in compliance issues, inspection programs, program design and site plan reviews.

Chuck Ellison, of builder Miller and Smith of McLean, Va. and a member of NAHB’s Legal Action Committee, is the webinar moderator.
