The project explores apartments' ability to adapt, focusing on the role of building technology as an enabler of buildings' capacity to accommodate change during their life cycle. The research produces information about the direction in which building services systems should be developed in the future, and what should be taken into account in the design of building services, when producing adaptable apartment buildings.
The project is funded by Sähköturvallisuuden edistämiskeskus STEK ry and Paasikivi Foundation.
