AnnotationThe JRF Smart Homes Project aims to encourage housing and equipment suppliers to provide the home technology that will support future lifestyles and aspirations, by demonstrating what is realistically possible to achieve now. This manual is based on work carried out by and on behalf of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) in the previous five years. It serves as an introduction to the smart home, and explains some of the technologies available with examples from the demonstration houses in York (at Hartrigg Oaks and New Earswick) built by JRF. A complimentary copy of "Smart homes: a user's guide" accompanies this publication. (RH).
