So I've recently purchased a new home and am doing a complete renovation. As a techie I'm thinking about how best I want to do things like:
-ensure it is environmentally efficient
-ensure it is physically secure
-build a useful home entertainment system throughout the house
-that noise is kept to a minimum - e.g no overly noisy server
-manage services like electricity effectively
-ensure any home environment has a decent level of privacy and digital security (I recognise nice that these things often are contradictory)
I think mostly importantly, I want to make sure that I have done as much as I to meet my techie needs in future. I have heard of people laying CAT5/CAT6 cabling, plenty of electrical sockets with USB charging, electric car charging, cabling for solar etc.
What other things should I be thinking about for future proofing?
