The home doesn't announce its upgrades the way a phone does. Progress shows up as a battery that recharges in about ten minutes, a wall paint that's EPA-registered to kill germs, and a shower that reuses the water it just heated. For our second annual Home of the Future Awards, we evaluated dozens of new products and selected those that use new or clever technology to do something that actually matters. They improve daily life, solve a real problem, make a home more accessible, or waste less of everything. You don't need fire starting skills.
