Insights from B.D .Erickson II and Modern International Builders Founder Brent Bohrer
Luxury homes have always been defined by craftsmanship, premium finishes, and cutting-edge technology. Today, however, a new standard is emerging—one that goes beyond aesthetics and focuses on the health and well-being of the people living inside.
In this episode of The Current Truth Podcast, B.D. Erickson II sits down with Brent Bohrer, founder of Modern International Builders, to explore how luxury home construction is evolving to include healthier indoor environments, energy efficiency, smart home technology, and cleaner electricity.
From designing Porsche dealerships to building multi million-dollar custom homes, Brent shares why the future of luxury isn't just about beautiful architecture—it's about creating homes that actively support better living.
Luxury Homes Are Becoming Healthier Homes
For years, luxury homebuyers focused on features like gourmet kitchens, home theaters, expansive windows, and custom finishes.
Today, they're asking a different question:
How healthy is my home?
Brent believes every custom home should combine timeless design with healthier living.
"I think it's important to have clean lines, big windows, natural lighting, and energy efficiency in every single home that we do."
This philosophy goes beyond visual appeal. Modern luxury homes are increasingly being designed to maximize natural light, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and create spaces that simply feel better to live in.
Smart Homes Bring Incredible Convenience—And New Challenges
Today's luxury homes are packed with technology:
Whole-home automation
Smart lighting
Security cameras
Facial recognition
Fingerprint access
Wi-Fi-connected devices
Home theaters
Solar power systems
Battery storage
While these technologies offer incredible convenience, they also create more complex electrical environments.
As Brent explains, many homeowners never consider what all of this technology means for their home's electrical quality.
"Our homes are filled with smart technology... when I show them how much EMFs are going on with all of the computer systems, camera systems, and movie theater rooms, they're blown away."
As smart homes become the norm, builders are beginning to think beyond functionality toward overall electrical wellness.
Healthy Home Design Starts During Construction
One of the biggest advantages custom builders have is the opportunity to integrate healthy home technologies before the drywall is even installed.
Rather than adding products after a home is finished, Brent and his team are finding ways to incorporate protective technologies directly into the building process.
"We're trying to incorporate more of the products into the house so it's fully protected."
By planning ahead during construction, homeowners can create cleaner, more efficient electrical environments without sacrificing design or aesthetics.
Energy Efficiency Is More Than Lower Utility Bills
Energy efficiency has long been associated with saving money.
But Brent believes it also contributes to healthier living.
When he first learned about whole-home energy management and dirty electricity reduction, it completely changed how he approached new home construction.
"You're going to be saving money. It's going to protect your body. And here's the real scientific evidence behind what we're doing."
For many homeowners, reducing utility bills is only part of the value.
Improving overall power quality and creating a more comfortable living environment are becoming equally important considerations.
Why Luxury Buyers Are Embracing Healthier Homes
Luxury buyers expect the very best.
That includes:
Premium materials
Exceptional craftsmanship
Smart technology
Sustainability
Long-term value
Increasingly, it also includes healthier indoor environments.
According to Brent, introducing homeowners to energy management solutions has been surprisingly easy.
"They love it."
Rather than seeing healthy home technology as another upgrade, many buyers view it as an investment in both their property and their family's well-being.
The Hidden Side of Smart Homes
As homes become more connected, they also become more electrically active.
Every connected device contributes to the home's electrical ecosystem.
That includes:
Wi-Fi routers
Smart lighting
Solar inverters
Home automation hubs
Entertainment systems
Security equipment
Electric vehicle chargers
While these technologies improve convenience, they also increase the importance of thoughtful electrical planning and energy management.
Builders like Modern International Builders are recognizing that future-ready homes should be designed with both performance and electrical quality in mind.
Building Health Into Every Home
One particularly interesting discussion focused on integrating protective building materials directly into the home's structure.
Rather than treating healthier living as an afterthought, Brent's team is incorporating solutions during construction whenever possible.
This proactive approach helps homeowners enjoy cleaner electrical environments without changing how they use their homes.
It's another example of how luxury construction is evolving beyond appearance to focus on long-term comfort, efficiency, and wellness.
Clean Energy Deserves Clean Electricity
Solar panels, battery systems, and home electrification continue transforming residential construction.
But generating renewable energy is only part of the equation.
Maintaining high-quality electricity throughout the home is becoming increasingly important as electrical systems grow more sophisticated.

Final Thoughts
Luxury has always meant having the very best.
Today, that definition is expanding.
Beautiful architecture, premium finishes, and cutting-edge technology remain important—but so are healthier indoor environments, cleaner electricity, and thoughtful energy management.
As Brent Bohrer puts it:
"When I'm passionate about something and when I see something works, it's easy for me to tell somebody... you're going to be saving money, it's going to protect your body, and here's the real scientific evidence behind what we're doing."
The homes of tomorrow won't just be smarter.
They'll be healthier, more efficient, and intentionally designed to help the people inside thrive.
