Home Depot Fun Fact:
Home Depot is involved in an interesting project at Duke University as they are funding the ‘Home Depot Smart Home’. This project involves ten engineering students from an upper-class background living in a specially designed home on campus. The house is designed to replicate a research laboratory. While the students are living there, they must collate information and give their feedback about innovative technology at the house. This includes home technology, security and monitoring devices, communications, entertainment, energy efficiency, and environmental technology.
