In this episode, I speak to Peter Kerr (Director at Atelier Ten) about the pro's and con's of smart care homes, with a particular focus on circadian lighting. We discuss how smart technology can improve the standard of care, improve health and wellbeing as well as energy efficiency. We also discuss whether a fully connected, futuristic care home could be a step too far and not be welcomed by the currently elderly, but how that could change in 60 years time when Millenial's get to an age where they may need to go into a care home. We also discuss design considerations, return on investment and the importance of retaining some independence, e.g. being able to turn the light on yourself as opposed to it all being sensor-based. #amBXSmartBuildingPod
