Description

Technology is an ever changing component within a home. Taking that into consideration, this webinar will look at some of that technology and how it can be incorporated into the functionality of the home now and in the future. This will range from standard wireless capabilities to complete home automation.

 

Learning Objectives

  1. Review standard home automation techniques that can improve the safety of the occupant through security.
  2. Review home monitoring systems that will give the ability to follow daily patterns of aging family members.
  3. Understand the different levels of technology that can be incorporated into the home and how it can increase both the health of the occupants but also the health and durability of the structure.
  4. Understand that “Future Proofing” is not only understanding the technology side of home automation, but also occupant education. Not only does maintenance need to be performed on the physical structure, but components within the structure also need to be maintained.
