The Rise of Aging-in-Place Homes
As global populations age, more individuals and families are seeking ways to make their homes safe, comfortable, and livable for the long term. Aging-in-place — the concept of staying in one’s own home as one ages — demands not only accessible design, but also smart and adaptable indoor climate systems.
What Aging-in-Place Residents Need from Their HVAC Systems
Older adults typically require more stable and gentle indoor conditions. Sudden temperature changes or dry air can cause discomfort or even health risks. Therefore, HVAC systems must offer:
- Consistent indoor temperatures without sudden drafts
- Low-noise operation to support sleep and relaxation
- Clean, filtered air to reduce allergens and pollutants
- Easy-to-use thermostats, preferably with remote access
