When designing buildings and spaces for an aging population, special requirements for building systems must be taken into consideration. Building systems account for significant parts of both the construction and operating costs of senior housing and care facilities. This course will cover multiple building systems, including mechanical, plumbing, fire-protection, power distribution, communications systems, and low-voltage electrical systems, and discuss special requirements for these systems in senior housing and care facilities. The use of spaces within the building and the needs of its occupants should be carefully analyzed, and design should be focused on the typical comfort, convenience, and safety needs of older adults.
