What It’s About:
Can't get to The New American Home® (TNAH) for an on-site tour? No problem! TNAH is coming to you! This one-of-a-kind show home is built to showcase the best in design, materials, energy efficiency and technique and is open for touring during IBS. However, if you don't have time for an in-person visit, this session will give you a room-by-room virtual tour with the benefit of behind-the-scenes insight from those who built it - builder, architect, energy-verifier, electronic system integrator and interior designer. You will walk away with countless ideas to adapt for your own homes - without ever leaving the Show. TNAH 2015 is the official show home of IBS, produced and sponsored by the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council and Builder Magazine.

Gain inspiration and ideas for floor plans, designs and materials that you can put to use immediately.
