What You Will Learn
Imagine you’re at home relaxing. As you take a deep breath and your feet up, you feel the sunlight hit your neck and it prompts you to pay closer attention to the environment around you; the sounds, the smells, the warmth. These are important factors to comfortable indoor living spaces. Now imagine technology elegantly integrated into the space meant to support greater comfort, convenience, and overall quality of life. That’s what we’ll discuss today. Wellness technology is about making indoor environments mimic nature and improve quality of life. Humans spend more of their time indoors than outdoors, contrary to most of our history. Wellness technology encompasses principles of sustainability and applies the intelligence of automation systems so that designers can plan solutions that are the greatest fit for each client. They can then work with the client to implement simpler solutions or partner with a qualified home technology specialist for more intuitive solutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand why an integrator should be brought on early, and have the ability to collaborate with other trades and specialists in wellness technology.
- Identify the importance of a healthy home and the technology within a cohesive unit for wellness & sustainability.
- Explain why automation & integration are paramount when implementing wellness technologies.
