Overview:
This expression “long term care” rarely invokes thoughts of
a non-institutional healthcare facility, such
as one’s own home, toss in a phrase such as “Aging in Place”
or “Universal Design” and most people
think of devices or aids for daily living and wheel chair
accessibility. Very few housing programs consider
the indoor environmental ergonomics needed for a maturing
population. This presentation will prepare
designers, manufacturers and trades people to consider the
human factors in HVAC for a growing
population of elders and palliative care persons living at
home.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discover how age related physical and cognitive
challenges conflict with “modern” HVAC systems.
2. Discover how age related physical and cognitive
challenges fit in with naturally ventilated buildings and
adaptability.
3. Discover how age related physical and cognitive
challenges affect maintenance of HVAC systems.
4. Learn what to consider and advise clients for HVAC
equipment and systems in Lifetime Housing.

Background - we have over 800 pages at the
website many with course slides and spreadsheet tools. In
order for us to manage who wants what and from where, our
administrative team assigns a password to a URL and uses the IEQ
Linked In group to manage the request. Additionally our email is
backlogged to last year so sending us private emails requesting
passwords for this years conference material is an exercise in
futility...if you really want the
resources -
please follow the instructions.
