According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the nation's 65-and-older population is projected to reach 83.7 million in the year 2050 - which is almost double the 2012 population! This huge demographic shift feeds an ever-increasing demand for larger and more diverse Senior Housing communities. These communities must also meet increasingly high expectations for resident services and the growing need for streamlined, safe operations. Competition is fierce, and amenities and safety are at the top of shoppers' lists. Connectivity is crucial to addressing these concerns and gaining market share.
Senior Housing developers and managers must balance economic and scheduling pressures while ensuring new projects and renovations are innovative, competitive and stay on-time. Planning low voltage cabling infrastructure may seem like a distant concern when developing a property; however, taking the time up front to consider how each cabling sub-system will be combined into a single integrated low voltage system is well worth the effort. In fact, it is necessary in this competitive environment. That's why OCC and Accu-Tech have teamed together to address these challenges and aid developers in meeting demanding construction requirements.
The convergence of multiple low voltage systems, such as voice, video, life safety and building automation systems (BAS), into one integrated physical structure makes choosing the right manufacturer more important than ever.
