Research Abstract

In order to clarify the optimal air-conditioning environment of a dwelling paying attention to energy saving and the ability to adapt of an individual, the measurement survey about a series of thermal environments and air quality environments of the houses was carried out. A series of adaptation-to-environment experiments and a experiment of air quality in the climate chamber were conducted. As a result, the thermal environment of the toilet and bathroom were low and poor in the winter in living environment, and the possibility of health impairment was suggested. The thermal environment of the eco-house and the half-basement was maintained more comfortably than other dwellings. Elderly people's healthy life has been maintained to some extent by carrying out heat insulation repair. On the other hand, we were anxious about aggravation of air environment. Moreover, the importance of control of order environment became clear. Furthermore, thermal comforts rose 1℃ in the summer when conscious of energy saving. We showed thermal adaptation properties of the elderly person and subjects who were poor at cold.
