Abstract
We conducted a questionnaire survey to clarify the relationships among residents' seasonal changes of lifestyle, cooling behaviors, complaints about thermal environment and residential satisfaction in summer. The people who answered our questionnaire were residents of detached houses prefabricated by a major housing company. The results or our analysis are as follows.
All residents change their behaviors in their houses in summer, and average of number of seasonal changes is 1.5 per a family. But those seasonal changes do not reduce the use of air-conditioner, and do not increase the residential satisfaction. And some seasonal changes are correlated with the resident's complaints about indoor thermal environment. It is thought that the seasonal changes of resident's behaviors in this survey mean the lifestyle restricted by uncomfortable indoor thermal environment.
