| Research Abstract |
Despite advances in barrier-free standards for the field of ergonomics, standards in the field of architectural environmental barrier-free design such as light, sound, temperature and atmospheric conditions are lacking. The primary reason for this is a lack of research into architectural environmental design for the elderly and handicapped people. Secondly, data from architectural environmental design research is not utilized for architectural design. Thirdly, the users do not yet appreciate its importance. In this study, the authors have examined the present problems of the environmental barrier-free design using the results of past studies, design examples and the questionnaire results from users. The result is an evaluation index for the architectural environmental design for the universal design. In addition to this, the authors have created a reference study plan which can be used for future architectural environmental engineering for the use of the elderly and the physically challenged.
