The Home Technology Association (HTA) is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. The HTA created “the first standard of excellence for home technology integration firms in 2017, giving the best-qualified technology integrators a prestigious certification and endorsement developed to differentiate exceptional firms.”
Today, hundreds of HTA Certified integrators in the U.S. and Canada now reap the rewards of the HTA Certification distinction, utilizing it in their marketing efforts to differentiate and elevate their firms. HTA Certified firms have access to valuable sales and marketing tools, industry partner outreach, ongoing education and more.
The Home Technology Association has also forged alliances with associations and organizations from adjacent trades, including AIBD (American Institute of Building Design), ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), IDS (Interior Design Society), NAHB (National Association of Home Builders), NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association). These alliances help bridge the gap between the design-build and integration communities and make HTA Certified integration firms the go-to resource for interior designers, architects, builders, and specifiers. HTA’s ongoing education and content contribution to these trade associations creates a more natural and easily navigable pathway from their membership to HTA Certified integration firms and HTA Supporting Brands. It is also helping to build member confidence in specifying technology into projects and partnering with the right integrator for each project.
