With consumer demand and government requirements driving latest technology in the residential sector, Pascal Stutz, CEO of Legrand, discusses how choosing the right partner can make the smart home journey more simple.
Innovation and product development are driving the new build housing sector, creating more efficient, comfortable and futureproof homes for buyers. Demand for smart technology is also growing due to consumers wanting to lower their home’s energy consumption and conveniently control heating, lighting, security and door entry through their smartphone.
With the smart home market in the UK predicted to almost double in value between 2021 and 2026¹, it is likely that homebuyers will come to expect connected products and systems in new builds. As such, there is an opportunity for housebuilders and developers to meet demand and the efficiency requirements set out in the Future Homes Standard 2025, by integrating smart technology in all of their projects.
Our Connected Living offering provides the latest products, smart home expertise and a network of Approved Installers to equip housebuilders and developers with everything they need to quickly and easily deliver smarter homes. A full range of training is also available for their electrical contractors, which can be tailored to the requirements of projects that are already in progress.
With the help of specialist partners like us, developments across the UK can benefit from smart technology, whether it is just devices to automate lighting or it is a fully networked smart home. The efficiency, convenience and cost benefits from the solutions we offer meet the specification and features customers are expecting to be in place, while futureproofing residential developments.
Our experts are here for developers and their electrical contractors, every step of the way. At the forefront of connected innovation and sustainable development, the Legrand team can support the residential sector in meeting Government net zero targets by making connected homes as simple to deliver as possible.
