Project Sustainability


Each month, the show welcomes a new guest who will unpack a specific topic, spanning multiple episodes. Host Peggy Smedley will dive into her guest’s desire to provide alternatives that will empower each of us on what it means to have a healthy home. Simply all the innovations from energy, air, water, lighting, security, appliances, and more that impact our homes.

With a focus on technology—and how it works in the home—listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what’s coming next and what’s already possible today. Determined to give a glimpse into the future, Smedley ends every series with the same question: How can we do even more simply by managing our energy consumption to help make the world healthier, safer, and greener today and for future generations?

Peggy Smedley and Erik Glassen, senior brand manager, Kwikset, talk about the state of security and the state of the smart home. He says door hardware is the first thing people see when they come to your home, and it is the last thing they see and touch when they leave. Security is the No. 1 reason for being, but there is a huge style component to door hardware.

They also discuss:

  • The look, feel, and experience of the lock in the home.
  • The most popular place to put keyless locks—in the past and today.
  • Trends in the smart home space such as the need to simplify.
