ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROJECT OF THE YEAR | WINNER 2023 MARK OF EXCELLENCE MIESTRO HOME INTEGRATION MEMPHIS, TENN. - FARM HOUSE PROTECTION This Farm House was plagued by surge events and power outages since it was built over seven years ago. Miestro was brought in to assess the infrastructure and design a system to mitigate the pain points caused by its rural location and propensity for power outages. As a RoseWater dealer, Miestro made a call after the first discovery meeting with the client and set up a consult with the RoseWater team. " Since Miestro didn't build the home, we had to spend a lot of time working through the existing infrastructure and even rewired several electrical panels to best suit the final design and maximize the budget, " says president Lamar Gibson. Miestro overhauled the entire lighting system consisting with a panelized Control4 system of seven panels and 50 keypads. The integrator installed a surge mitigation system and provided a premium battery backup to complement the existing power plan. " Working through each wire in the home to identify, label and properly surge each wire allows Miestro to guarantee the performance of the smart home and provide uptime that is not typical in areas or homes such as this project. We were able to determine the exact loads that were mission critical and land those on the new RoseWater HUB, " Gibson explains. A revamp of the existing theater with a Wolf TXF projector and Stewart Filmscreen and a significant upgrade to the audio processor and amplification using AudioControl made the home theater portion a success. 26 | CE Pro March 2023 cepro.comhttp://www.cepro.com
