Retrofit / Air conditioning

Comfort is felt room by room.

Cooling in a care home is about creating considerate, manageable indoor conditions for residents and the people supporting them.

01 / The starting point

The building sets the brief.

Bedrooms, communal spaces and staff areas can have very different patterns of use. A useful cooling design responds to those differences instead of assuming a single building-wide answer.

Equipment siting, noise, controls, maintenance access and installation in occupied areas all deserve attention from the outset.

02 / What we consider

The details behind air conditioning.

These are design conversations, not a pre-set package. The right answer depends on your site.

01

Spaces and occupants

Identify which rooms need attention and how they are used through the day and night.

02

Thoughtful placement

Consider noise, air movement, external equipment positions and the visual character of the home.

03

Simple operation

Plan controls and handover so staff can understand and manage conditions without unnecessary complexity.

03 / The connected building

No system works in isolation.

Cooling is best considered with the home’s heating and electrical systems, not as a disconnected add-on.

For occupied homes, technical choices also need to accommodate the people, schedules and essential services already in place.
