Abstract

Houses and instruments for the benefit of aged welfare have been developed as one of the solutions to this important problem of the next Century. To live in comfort and to save energy, the thermal environment in a model house for the aged has been monitored. It was made clear that floor heating and ceiling radiant cooling gave a comfortable environment to the aged due to uniform room temperature distribution and that air-conditioning cooling with a ceiling fan was energy efficient.
