Winners were selected by the D-Tools development and marketing teams. The winning entries were judged on a number of criteria, including originality, most thorough use of D-Tools' software functionality, overall visual quality of designs, plans, and schematics; and which projects best communicate the system designer's vision.
Best Overall System was awarded to Daniel Tumata of T & T Communications. He created the best overall design, most extensive use of SI software, most detailed and extensive schematics, extensive plan views and overall very impressive work.
Most Unique System was designed by Eric Roy of AVIA. He created a full entertainment retrofit on a 160ft. custom mega yacht. It is also the first time integration of water chilled HVAC system. His design included detailed schematics for every room of the yacht.
Best Residential System design was captured by Terrance Mulholland of Beyond Home Theatre. Best Commercial System design was awarded to Eric Jones of Stanislaus Audio Video.
