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 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 behind-the-scenes insight from those who built it - builder, architect, energy-verifier, systems integrator and interior designer. You will walk away with countless ideas to adapt for your own homes - without ever leaving the convention center. TNAH 2016 is the official show home of IBS, produced and sponsored by the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council and Professional Builder Magazine.

What You'll Learn:
Explore the latest home building technologies and design ideas for houses large and small that can save you money and help sell your homes.
Discover ideas for balancing market-driven design, construction and amenities, and how nanotechnologies are changing today's building science.
Gain inspiration and ideas for floor plans, designs and materials that you can put to use immediately.
Learn how to cut building costs by incorporating high performance building techniques and the NGBS certification process into your current and future projects.
