Homeowner Questionnaire Homeowner Questionnaire Are you interested in adding powerful solutions to make your home more enjoyable, easier to manage, comfortable and safe? Whether you're building, renovating or just want to enhance your existing home, Overture has systems that can be personalized to fit your lifestyle and interior aesthetics. The following questionnaire explores the possibilities of what we can do in your home. By looking through it, you can see what meets your needs and wants and determine what benefits will best fit your lifestyle. Please check the boxes that most interest you. Home Theater Would you like to integrate a home theater into an existing room like a living room or master bedroom? Would you like to make your flat-screen TV disappear when it is not in use? Overture offers ways to hide a TV with attractive and creative options. Would you like to use a dedicated room as a Home Theater? What options would you like your dedicated Home Theater Room to have? ___ Flat Screen TV ___ Home Cinema Projector with an 8 ft. or larger screen ___ Theater seating ___ Acoustic panels for better sound ___ Star ceiling ___ Curtain that conceals screen when not in use ___ Complete room interior including acoustic panels for better sound If you’re a movie buff with a large Blu-ray/DVD collection, would you like to catalog that collection and have simultaneous access of your Blu-ray/DVDs around your home from a central source? Music Around the House In which rooms would you like to have independent listening of music? ___ Master Bedroom ___ Master Bath ___ Family Room ___ Kitchen ___ Rec Room ___ Dining Room ___ Guest Bedroom ___ Basement ___ Patio ___ Pool Area Other: _________________________________ Would you like to use your smartphone or tablet to play and control the music sys - tem from anywhere in the home and change the song with a simple touch of a button? Would you like to know about what's currently playing, what song is next, view cover art – even select a favorite playlist – from any room in the home? Would you like to manage your complete music collection with a music server that can organize extensive music libraries with fast and easy access? Would you like to be able to enjoy new media formats like internet radio, Pandora and Spotify? And have the ability to play different music in different rooms? 800.838.1812 • www.overtureav.net Page 1 Page 1 Homeowner Questionnaire Outdoor Entertainment Would you like to listen to your favorite music outside? Would you like to watch your favorite TV programs, sports, and movies outside? Lighting Control A well-executed lighting design adds beauty, elegance, and energy efficiency to your home. Would you like to remove the 6 or 8 unsightly switches from your wall and replace them with a single elegant keypad that easily adjusts all the lights in the room? Would you like the ability to set custom lighting scenes and control them from anywhere in the house? In the evening, would you like to select lights in the house to turn on automatically or via a single button? When you go to bed, would you like to be able to press a single button to turn out all the lights and close the drapes in your home? Would you like to enhance the security of your home while you're away with programmable lighting that can mimic your daily routine of dimming and lowering the lights? Would you like your indoor and outdoor lights to automatically adjust to the degree of natural light? Would you like to turn on your house lights from your car when you approach the driveway? Would you like to have multiple zones of outdoor lights controlled from a single keypad? Would you like the ability to program your outdoor lights to turn on and off at different times of the day? Climate Control Many larger homes have independent zones for heating and cooling. Integrating them into a control system can make these easier to manage and potentially lower energy costs. Does being able to easily set your own heating and cooling schedules, thus conserving energy, appeal to you? Would you prefer to use a single touch of a button to set them all to reflect a comfort or energy efficient setting? Would you like to have hidden temperature setting devices to assist in evening out the temperatures throughout a particular zone? Is remotely monitoring the temperature within your home important to you? 800.838.1812 • www.overtureav.net Page 2 Homeowner Questionnaire Motorized Window Treatments Motorized window shading systems provided by Overture can solve light and privacy issues by monitoring sunlight and adjusting automatically throughout the day for U/V protection and thermal efficiency. Would you like to protect artwork, floors, furniture and rugs from fading? Would you like to save energy and lower your utility costs? Would you like an easy to use solution to privacy issues by having all your shades lower at the touch of a button? Will you have the need to incorporate custom fabrics? Pool/Spa/Irrigation In addition to conserving energy, our systems will help you monitor and therefore conserve water usage as well. Would you like to be able to set your pool heater temperature remotely? You can be ready for a swim when you arrive home by turning on the heater to your pool beforehand. Hot tubs consume massive amounts of energy. Would you like to be able to heat up as you leave the office so it's ready when you get home? Would you like to be able to easily and remotely set the irrigation times? Security Cameras Would you like the ability to monitor what is happening around your home from any TV or dedicated remote control, e.g. watching your kids in the pool? Would you like to be able to see who's at the front door from the comfort of your bedroom? Would you like the ability to access your home's security cameras remotely (on your phone, from the office, etc.)? Would you like to record security camera video clips? This is perfect for seeing when FedEX came by, or when the landscapers arrived this morning. 800.838.1812 • www.overtureav.net Page 3 Homeowner Questionnaire Home Automation Would you like the ability to integrate your audio, video, security, climate control, lighting, motorized window treatments, you name it, into an intuitive and easy-to-use system? When you're away from home, would you like to be able to control the home environment via phone or Internet, including heating and air conditioning, lighting, security cameras, outdoor sprinklers, and more? Door Chimes Door chimes that can be heard around the house are a great convenience, especially in larger homes. Would having door chimes play through the speakers in every room appeal to you? What if you could pick up any phone in the home and page the kids to come to the kitchen for dinner - or even announce a phone call? Always Alert A truly smart system is proactive and can alert you by text message or email when there are changes in the home environment. House too hot or too cold while on vacation? Kids home from school? Security intrusion? Is alerting of interest to you? Structured Wiring A reliable network, cable/satellite TV system, or digital phone system is dependent on the quality of the wiring throughout the home. Hard-wiring a home solidifies the ability to keep up with changes made by service providers. A hard wired network will always be faster than a wireless network. Would you like us to pre-wire your home? Networking Would you like a computer network set-up in your home? Would you like the fastest and most reliable wireless network available today? Would you prefer separate networks for Audio/Video, VoIP phone systems, home office, and a guest network? This increases network performance and increases security. Do you want substantially increased firewall protection? 800.838.1812 • www.overtureav.net Page 4.

  • Media Room/Home Cinema Soundproofing
    HOME CINEMA SOUNDPROOFING Media Room/Home Cinema Soundproofing Megasorber’s range of noise barrier and acoustic absorption materials are ideally suited to provide treatment to home cinemas and media rooms. In any room, noise will find the ‘weak’ areas and try to get through, potentially disturbing those in neighbouring rooms. Imagine a plastic bag with water inside... no matter how strong the plastic is; if there are any holes the water will leak. Similar with noise – if there are any gaps, the sound will enter or escape. In short, to reduce noise being heard outside the media room / home cinema, you need to ‘seal’ the ceiling and walls. Initially, noise barrier will reduce noise transfer between the lounge and adjoining rooms – when applied to walls and ceiling, between layers of plasterboard, due to its high density and viscoelastic properties. In addition, Megasorber acoustic absorption panels can then be installed on to the ceiling and the tops of the walls to reduce reverberation and make your audio crisp and clear. Note that any windows should be double, or triple glazed for best acoustic effect, and doors should be solid and well-sealed, to reduce noise leakage from these traditionally “weaker” points in the room. Recommended Treatments Noise Barrier - Walls We recommend applying Megasorber B8 in between 2 layers of plasterboard (you can also use MDF or similar if you prefer, depending on the finished look you require). If treating an existing wall, this means simply installing the B8 over the existing plasterboard (this can be stapled or nailed on initially), taking care to overlap sheets to ensure there are no gaps.

  • A Guide to the Perfect Loft
    a guide to the perfect loft Loft Design Hints & Tips Converting your loft is one of the best ways of extending your home. It will bring you the highest return over any other type of extension when comparing cost to build against added value to your property. Whilst loft conversions are not difficult to do they do need to be carefully designed and planned, especially if your long term goal is to create value. Our team can advise on everything from design, to building regulations and on how best to make the space work for you and your family, whilst keeping to budget and of course adding long term value to your home. 1) Add a Master Bedroom The most common type of loft conversion is for a new Master Bedroom. Why? - Most homes have ample wasted space in the roof to create a huge Bedroom, most can also have an en-suite bathroom and even walk-in wardrobe space. 2) Add Value By converting your loft into a bedroom you naturally create space and of course with house prices rising as much as they have in recent years the value an extra bedroom, bathroom and storage create is normally far greater than the cost of actually converting a loft. 3) Add A Juliet Balcony and French Doors This is a great addition to any Loft bedroom and can easily be incorporated into a dormer if required. This is a must especially if you have got lovely views from your balcony. An all glass Juliet balcony provides unobstructed views when lying in bed.

  • What's the Difference Between a Home Theater and Home Cinema – And
    A white paper by Residential Technology Systems What’s the difference between a home theater and home cinema – and which one is right for you? What is a home theater or media room? Your home theater, also called a media room, is designed to bring an exceptional viewing experience to your home. Plan to enjoy blockbuster movies like never before. And there’s so much more! There’s nothing like watching the Super Bowl, Olympics, or main event with your buddies in unbelievable high-definition – in the comfort of your own home. Or seeing your favorite artist perform in concert, as you relish both the audio and visual qualities. With a quality home theater, you will be engulfed in an amazing, heightened experience. Pinch yourself. You’re really there! Here at Residential Technology Systems, we typically consider the home theater or media room to have these characteristics: ● As a multipurpose media room, the home theater a casual entertaining space that serves as a place to watch movies and TV as well as listen to music. Plus, this space may double as your living room, family room, or den. ● It is designed to bring a heightened visual experience to your home, as you enjoy sports events, movies, concerts, and more. ● Often, the home theater consists of a large, flat-panel television; a multi-channel, surround-sound speaker system; a high-definition AV receiver; and Blu-ray player. (Note that you don’t want “big sound” with a small picture or vice versa!) In terms of technology, your home theater or media room typically would include: ● A video display: either a flat-panel video monitor or a projector with video screen.
