EFFECTS OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ON HEALTH SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN RESIDENTS OF HOUSES

Abstract

Indoor temperature environment and air quality affect the health of residents of houses, and thus efforts are underway to improve the insulation of houses. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate changes in health symptoms and quality of life after moving into a house with a central air conditioner, floor heating, and room air conditioners. The results revealed that residents of houses with central air conditioning tended to have a higher rate of improvement in health symptoms and quality of life compared with other types of air conditioning.
