Green is the new Black! Today, home theaters are all the rage, and the one installed in the Incredibly Green Home would make even the newest movie theaters green with envy. This state of the art system has the capability to acurately reproduce any of your favorite Blu-Ray movies in the highest quality thanks to the JVC DLA-HD 350 projector and Stewart Filmscreen Studiotek130 screen. The system also has the ability to turn your home into a concert hall with help from the Canton Ergo sound package. All of this is being controlled by a handheld Control4 SR-250 coupled with an HC500, giving ultimate simplicity to the proud new owner.
There's also a 7" color touchpanel in the kitchen, allowing control over house audio on the main floor, house-wide dimming presets, and future integration with a Control4 EC-100 for energy system monitoring and management. Super Cool.
What's green about the theater? The pillars are reclaimed from the elm tree that we had to cut down in the front yard. The floors are reclaimed from the home that used to be on the site. The carpet is Greenguard certified. The top of the bar is bamboo. Hmmm, not sure if this counts, but the Pioneer SC-07 receiver and the Canton sub use highly efficient IcePower amplifiers. And the speakers run at an efficient 4 ohms when you crank them up, but not sure if we get any points from USGBC on that. Anyway...
Our thanks go out to the guys at Myer Emco Audio Video who helped install, program and calibrate the system. In an age where AV retailers come and go, Myer Emco has always been there for us. They've been in business for over 50 years, and are still family-owned. Kudos to Jesse, Phil, Dom and of course Christian Harris and Chris Kirchoff.
