Introducing the CEDIA Smart Home Awards

The CEDIA Awards have been a cornerstone of the home technology industry for decades. Around the world, integrators, manufacturers, and visionaries are celebrated on a grand scale for exceptional work. That’s something that’ll never change.

But as the industry evolves, so must we, which is why we’re proud of the additions and expansions to the awards this year.

First, we’ve introduced a new category: Health, Sustainability, or Wellness. Integrators who approach projects with this mindset are truly carrying out CEDIA’s mission to enrich lives through technology. We want to recognize those integrators who are actively listening to their clients’ health needs, finding ways to reduce waste, and creating more mindful lifestyles.

Second, the Best Integrated Home category will no longer use monetary values to define its four levels given large variances in cost of living. Instead, we will take into consideration the surrounding areas in which a project was completed.

The Best Integrated Home category now includes:

Mass Market Integration: A project in a home with value near the average sales price for the area.

Mid-Market Integration: A project in a home with value well above the average sales price for the area but not considered part of the luxury market.
