Homeflow
Homeflow is a series of research-based modules designed to simplify your home living situation. It’s about how the home “flows” together as a unit comprised of a dwelling, its occupants, and the property and community in which it’s located. Homeflow’s goal is to keep your household’s bucket (revenues) as full as possible by minimizing leakages (expenses).
Homeflow explores the relationships between the health of the home and its occupants, communications between home occupants, home maintenance and operation, energy and functional efficiency, and home safety routines and practices.
