In an upcoming report on the Profiles Series, audiences will see how universal design and new approaches to energy efficiency will make the home better than ever before. Leaders in the construction industry are helping to chart new paths in the field to make the American home better and more accessible than ever before.
These new reports will highlight how engineers and designers are working with contractors and architects to create the new American home. Subtle changes inside like wider doors and hallways, lower light switches, and door hardware that is easier to operate is making the home simpler to navigate for people with mobility issues. Wheelchairs can now move freely down halls and through doors and people can operate electrical switches from a seated position.
While universal design addresses the needs of homeowners with disabilities, other improvements address the needs of all homeowners through lower energy costs. New approaches to insulation materials are also helping to lower energy bills by cutting the use of heaters and air conditioners, which can have a big impact on energy costs each year.
Executive Producer Walter Waiters, senior associate producer Joel Walters, associate producers Ryan Chadderton, Rachel Van Drake, Randi Gardner, Scott Kuntz, and Ralph Gonzalez are working on new reporting showcasing many of the changes in our world.
