Build Podcast | Episode 149: Smart Electrical Systems and Jobsite Innovation
Live from the ROCKWOOL Studio, Matt is joined by fellow Build Show Expert, CJ Nielsen to talk smart electrical systems. They cover key topics, including future-proofing a home’s electrical systems, the benefits of an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) for better indoor air quality, and smart panels like the Span system for efficient energy management.
CJ emphasizes the importance of setting up temporary infrastructure on job sites and highlights how to effectively future-proof homes by using modern electrical solutions such as low-voltage DC systems and spider boxes for temporary power.
They also showcase Vosker trail cameras for jobsite security, and Matt shares insights on the installation of smart solutions for energy-efficient homes.
