Senior living and memory care

Comfort, air quality and quiet are clinical concerns in a care setting, not amenities. A stable, tight, well-insulated envelope contributes to all three.

In a care building the occupants cannot easily move away from a cold spot, a draft or a noise. Even temperatures and low background noise are part of the care, not a finish-level nicety.

Air quality matters for the same reason. A tight envelope with designed ventilation delivers filtered air where it is wanted, which is a better outcome than air arriving through whatever gaps exist.

Operating cost matters too, because these buildings run continuously for decades on budgets that are set years ahead.
