Design Of Apartments For The Elderly Based On Indoor Environmental Comfort

At present, China has entered the aging time, and the proportion of the elderly population is increasing year by year. With the development of society, looking after the elderly brings much burden, the pension problem has become a hot social issue. The social pension mode in China started late, in recent years, the construction and development of pension institutions to reach the peak. Apartments for the elderly as a social pension agency, has its unique attributes and audience, and is also one of the most widely pension agency types. In terms of the humanization design of the apartments for the elderly, China has done a lot of research and exploration, but the research in the indoor environment and comfort do not reach a high degree.Under such a background, this paper choose the apartments for the elderly indoor physical environment comfort as the research object, based on comfort degree theory research, combined with field survey and test data, and summarized the demands of subjective questionnaire of the elderly, then gained the suitable thermal environment indexes of apartments for the elderly. Last, this paper pointed out poor design and improper measures in one building, and putted forward the optimization strategy.This paper is divided into six chapters. The first chapter includes the introduction part, mainly elaborates the research background, current situation and development of domestic and foreign research status, research purpose and significance, then the research contents and methods are described. Research status and development status at home and abroad is divided into apartments for the elderly and comfort of the two part. The second chapter includes the definition of related theory, the concept of older apartments, comfort analysis and integration, determine the object of study:the thermal comfort environment of apartments for the elderly as the main object of study, sound and light environment as the secondary research object.I carried out in-depth study on thermal environment in five senile apartments in Ji’nan and Shanghai, and on acousto-optic environment in Shanghai Vanke ZhiHuiFang apartment for the elderly. The third chapter includes the thermal comfort research, the influencing factors, the elderly thermal adaptability, design strategy is summarized; then summarized the status of thermal environment for research in the form of a chart; finally on the temperature, relative humidity, wind speed of three aspects of the data and subjective comfort vote, the use of windows, frequency of air conditioning, comparing the thermal sensation vote and data of PMV model prediction, summarize the causes of deviation. Aiming at the problems found in the investigation of thermal environment design deficiencies, provide preliminary studies for the optimization design.The fourth chapter includes the analysis of other influence factors in the apartments for the elderly, the interior light environment, indoor acoustic environment, color design and so on. List the standards, analysis the subjective questionnaire and collected chart.The fifth chapter includes Optimization design method. First suitable physics index for the thermal environment was determined, control the range of temperature, relative humidity and wind speed; secondly for apartments for the elderly indoor comfort optimization strategy is developed, it mainly develops from the passive design; finally take Shanghai Vanke ZhiHuFang apartments for the elderly for an example to optimize the transformation. Chapter six is the conclusion part, summarizes the main research work in the thesis, and put forward the deficiencies and unsolved problems.The purpose of this study is that the comfortable degree theory is applied in the design of apartments for the elderly, apartments for the elderly indoor environmental quality improvement and ensuring the sound development of the old people’s physical and mental health and apartments for the elderly. Hope that through this study, apartments for the elderly indoor environmental design provides useful reference and practical reference value.
