Liebherr's claim on the refrigeration market is its ability to keep food fresh longer. The freezer drawers, rather than wire racks, help keep food cold and reduce the loss of cold air whenever the freezer is opened.Photo by: Miyoko Ohtake -

Lutron's booth also featured its "eco-solutions," such as its occupancy sensors and integrated lighting to promote behavior changes such as keeping the lights on at 80-percent instead of 100-percent illumination, a difference that is not noticeable by the human eye.Photo by: Miyoko Ohtake -
Kohler introduced a new matching sink and toilet in their artist collection, which feature a light design and gold accents.Photo by: Miyoko Ohtake -
