FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON REDUCTION OF HEAT SHOCK RISK BY ROOM LAYOUT FOR HOUSE RENOVATION

Examination of air temperature of sanitary rooms by model analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of heat shock by changing floor plan at house renovation for the elderly. By numerical analysis using the actual renovation models and analysis of the layout of sanitary rooms including corridors, the items for changing floor plan to mitigate thermal environment were extracted. As a result of analyzing the renovation models applied those items, it was confirmed that the room temperature of sanitary rooms rise and the reduction of the heat shock risk by the proposed index.
