The TechHome Rating System (THRS) is a powerful new nationally-recognized build-to specification for residential technology infrastructure. THRS explains at a glance the level of technological infrastructure - also know as structured wiring - that is present, or could be installed, in a home. Developed by CEA's TechHome Division, THRS helps integrators build more productive and solid relationships with builders.
THRS is an opportunity for you, as a custom installer, to strengthen and solidify the relationships between yourself and builders by demonstrating the value, expertise and depth of knowledge your services bring to their business.
The right structured wiring infrastructure carries telephony, data, audio, video and more throughout a house. Depending on the amount and the nature of the structured wiring installed, a home can achieve one of three levels:
A Bronze THRS rating denotes that the home is properly wired to enable the distribution of TV and video, networking and communications in standard living spaces, including the kitchen, the bedroom and the family room/multimedia room.
A Gold THRS provides all of the capabilities of a Bronze home, adds multi-room audio distribution and systems control capabilities, and services a greater number of defined living spaces, including the master bedroom, outdoor areas and the dining room.
A Platinum THRS Rating is the highest designation of a technology-ready home. A Platinum-rated home provides all of the capabilities of a Gold home, and incorporates additional structured wiring to achieve full functionality in eight or more living spaces throughout the property, including the home office. Platinum provides for complete integration throughout the home for multi-room audio and video, control, security and communications. A Platinum THRS home is equipped to deliver the ultimate digital experience for the homeowner.
