According to the Triangle Business Journal, Home Depot will chip in $2 million to cover construction of a "smarthome" that will serve as a test bed for new technologies for the home. Launched in 2003, the residence hall/lab is the brainchild of former Duke University electrical engineering student Mark Younger, who upon graduation was hired as the project director.
