In this podcast Walt Zerbe, Sr. Director of Technology & Standards at CEDIA talks with Michael Don Ham, President and Co-Founder of RePure and Peter Dyroff, President and Co-Founder of the Pure Tech Alliance about the state of Wellness in our industry. We dive into the opportunity to offer air and water quality to our customers. We talk about how the CEDIA Integrator of 2027 white paper (IO27) talked about the need to deliver technology to improve the human condition and this is it! Our industry has fullly adopted lighting and shades, that one of the legs to this three legged stool. Air and water are the other two. It's total opportunity that many integrators are now taking advantage of and so should you.
