Abstract
This study was conducted focusing on housing environment of elderly people and their safety in winter season. Effect of temperature and humidity measurement and data feedback to the elderly people was monitored. The following three points were confirmed; (1) Elderly people and their family recognized measured information of their housing environment repeatedly. As the result, they confirmed the difference between their thermal sensation and measured temperature in winter. They also found the risk of health in low temperature at home. (2) Their consciousness of indoor environment made better usage of housing service facility. This led the reduction of fear on health and accident at home.
