LESSON 1: Program title: Audio and Video and integrated control systems
are helping homes become more energy efficient:
By Michael Healy & Paul Jung from NexSense, Inc

This presentation will show you how your digital TV can control your
lights,TV, and HVAC system with one interface. It will illustrate how
wireless communication is done with Thermostats, Lights, sensors and
scenes. We will explore how a smart home can lead to a more energy
efficient home with integrated technology.

images to review with clients
         by Eric H. Gjerde, AIA

This presentation will cover basic 3d modeling techniques that
streamline photorealistic modeling, how to sample images from
manufacturers for best realism, using Podium to add lights and
reflections, and photorealistic elements to a scene, and using Sketch up
and Podium to enhance textures for irregular surfaces such as stone and
brick with bump maps.

Directions to BSA Building, Map Link

Broad Street is one block west (up State Street) of the Custom House Tower on
Boston's waterfront. From the corner of State and Broad Streets, 52 Broad St.
is one block south on the left side, on the corner of Milk and Broad. Parking
is available on the street (theoretically). There are some nearby street lots
and the nearest parking garage is located immediately in front of the New
England Aquarium across the Southeast Expressway. Best bet is take the "T" in to State Street or Aquarium stop.
