About The House
The Green Life Smart Life project is inspired by a family that has been on the quest to live on the RI coast since 2000. Located on a one acre parcel of land with incredible passage views of Narragansett Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, the Newport Bridge and Beavertail Lighthouse, the 4350 sq/ft home will showcase the latest advances in green building techniques, tools, products and materials that also address constraints encountered when building in a 110 mph wind zone and amid coastal resources. The Green Life Smart Life project will demonstrate that real life homeowners can make smart decisions that benefit their families by selecting eco-friendly, modern choices that reflect the needs of everyday living environments and personal lifestyles. The project will be a showcase of green building practices, reusable resources, smart energy consumption, eco-friendly landscaping, and clean, healthy-living environments in a traditional, New England setting.

Innovative technologies will be integrated throughout the home's systems including home automation for complete control of lighting, security and surveillance, HVAC, room sensors, as well as whole-house access to today's content driven world. Featuring a state-of-the art entertainment system, this smart home will embrace today's growing demand for structured wiring, multi-room music and video, content on demand, digital pictures, connected networks and remote access. From managing energy consumption to creating healthy air and from home security to complete entertainment, the Green Life Smart Life project will show homeowners the full range of just how attainable smart and green living can be.
