Eastsound, WA (PRWEB) April 18, 2012
Green Builder® Media, North America’s leading media company focused on sustainable living, has collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to create the VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS, an innovative green home exhibit located in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® at the Walt Disney World® Resort.
Opening on Earth Day (April 22), the purpose of the VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS is to present green living ideas in a fun and informative manner that will empower guests with the knowledge that a sustainable future is possible. The exhibit will showcase a wide spectrum of environmentally appropriate products and options and provide homeowners with real solutions for contemporary green living.
“Sustainable living is about taking personal responsibility,” says Green Builder® Media CEO Sara Gutterman. “Through the VISION House in INNOVENTIONS, we will illustrate that we can all provide our families with necessities like sustenance, and shelter, as well as comfort and convenience, while simultaneously preserving and protecting the environment.”
As guests take a guided tour of the VISION House®, they will explore the major themes of green building, such as whole-home automation; energy generation and efficiency; water conservation; indoor environment quality; and high-performance materials and durability. Along the way, they will encounter intelligent products and advanced technologies, such as:
High efficiency heating and cooling systems and controls and innovative whole-home automation system and door hardware by Ingersoll Rand
Electronic vehicle charging station by SIEMENS
Chevy Volt electric vehicle by GM
Photovoltaic solar panels from Hanwha Solar
Durable and environmentally friendly exterior systems, including smog-eating tile roofs, cultured stone, bricks, permeable pavers, and trim by Boral
Ventilation solutions to improve indoor air quality by Panasonic
Energy efficient windows and doors from Pella

Fire sprinkler information from the National Fire Protection Association
Sustainable hardwood flooring and cabinets from Armstrong World Industries
Water-conserving fixtures, faucets, showerheads, and home standby generators by KOHLER

The VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS is a part of Green Builder® Media’s VISION House Series. These actual residences around the country are designed to demonstrate that a successful building is more than simple shelter-it is an interactive set of systems that combine to create a truly green living environment for inhabitants.
“Green Builder® Media has long been the leader in helping building professionals and consumers understand that the built environment and the natural environment need not be in conflict, and that green building is quality building,” says Ron Jones, Green Builder® Media President. “Our early mission of defining green has evolved into a robust message that makes it possible for companies, governments, and individuals to make choices without compromise.”
