VISION House Las Vegas proves that a high-functioning garage isn’t an afterthought—it’s an essential part of smart, sustainable living.
At the VISION House Las Vegas, sustainability isn’t just about solar panels and low HERS scores—it’s about thoughtful design in every corner of the home, including one space that’s often overlooked: the garage.
Thanks to a combination of Windsor Doors, LiftMaster, and strategic insulation, the garage in the VISION House Las Vegas is as comfortable and high-performing as the rest of the home.
Beazer Homes’ Justin Andersen shared how this next-gen garage enhances energy efficiency, convenience, and peace of mind for homeowners.
“We’re showcasing an insulated garage door by Windsor Doors, which is an excellent product,” Andersen notes. “It’s got insulation on the inside and serves as a thermal barrier. You can feel that it keeps heat on the outside.”
In the sweltering desert climate of Las Vegas, that thermal barrier makes a real difference. It keeps the garage cooler and helps protect everything inside—including the vehicles, battery storage system, smart SPAN panels, battery storage system, and Rheem heat pump water heater located in the space.
Adding intelligence to performance, the LiftMaster garage door opener, integrated with the myQ app, gives homeowners total control, even from afar. “You can put an app on your phone and see if you left the door up,” Andersen says. “If you’re like me, sometimes you think, ‘Oh my goodness, did I close the garage door this morning?’ With myQ, homeowners can check and see.”
That simple functionality offers more than just convenience—it delivers security and confidence. And it’s part of a larger trend at VISION House Las Vegas: giving homeowners smarter tools to manage their home, their energy, and their lifestyle.
“The more things that we can give redundancy to and have control of, even simple reminders, improves a homeowner’s quality of life,” Andersen adds.
In this high-performance home, even the garage has a job to do: keep the family secure, the temperature stable, and the systems running smoothly. With Windsor and LiftMaster, it gets high marks across the board.
