STATE-OF-THE-ART CONVENIENCE
Public invited to view
a house of the future

TODAY’S HECTIC pace leaves
little time for the everyday respon-
sibilities one has to do: set the
alarm, remember appointments,
turn down the thermostat and
water the lawn.

It would be nice to have some-
one around the house who could
‘take charge’ of all these functions -
making time for more leisure activ-
ities ‘and. leaving the worry to
them.

Tomorrow's Home, one of
seven homes featured in the
Greater Vancouver Home
Builders’ Association’s
‘“*HOMESTYLES ’86" offers what
home owners up until now have
only been able to dream about.

As the first computer-controlled
R-2000 home in Canada, this home
incorporates the TomorrowHouse

the heating and fresh air supply for
the home are zone-controlled

occupancy of the rooms. The
TomorrowHouse System stores the
energy consumption data enabling
the home owner to further refine
the scheduling for even more
energy savings.

lights, giving the impression that
someone is home when you're
away on holidays. This system also
interfaces with any standard
burglar alarm providing flexibility
for home owners to choose an
alarm system whch suits their indi-

normal level, giving your eyes time
to udjust and simulating an early
morning sunrise.

Meanwhile, the coffee has been
brewing, ready for you in the
kitchen when you're ready to start
the day.

The Tomorrow's Home
showcases the talents of the vrofes-
sional building industry. As one of
seven homes in the GVHBA

Fraser Glen subdivision in Surrey,
just north of the Trans Canada
Highway on 164th Street, off

grammed for night setback, but
different schedules each day for up
to nine-week period eliminate the
need to constantly reset the
temperature during the day.
