or multi-room audio and video?
4. Does the home have a local area network
for linking computers?
5. Does the home already have wiring for DSL
or other high-speed Internet connection?
6. Does the home have multizoning heating and
cooling controls with programmable thermostats?
7. Does the home have multi-room lighting controls,
window-covering controls, or other home automation
features?
8. Is the home wired with multi-purpose in-wall
wiring that allows for reconfigurations to update
services as technology changes?
