Home and Building construction will certainly be adapting in the future as a result of the current pandemic. Here is an interesting article about how we will possibly be adjusting moving forward. What are your thoughts?
“Did you know that elevator buttons often contain 40 times more bacteria than a public toilet seat, that viruses live up to 24 hours on non-porous surfaces such as door handles, and 80% of sickness-causing germs spread via hands? We would never intentionally touch a public toilet seat, so why then do we not think twice about pressing an elevator button and then shaking someone’s hand?
…It is time to incorporate contactless connectivity in our business strategy to enable community and building residents to feel safer. Technologies that are available today, or being accelerated by COVID-19, can allow us to have hands-free access throughout buildings, talk directly to faucets, understand how assets are utilized, and detect issues before they turn catastrophic.”
