Abstract

This paper stresses the importance of monitoring indoor environment quality (IEQ) in a bedroom environment for the pre-elderly, by comparing data on sleep behavior with the corresponding IEQ variables. Although concerns regarding the influence of IEQ on residents’ health are increasing, solutions for optimizing bedroom environments have not yet been determined. In particular, for the elderly and pre-elderly, optimization of the indoor environment may relieve the symptoms of chronic disease and degradation of their physical abilities. This study presents a method for obtaining basic data to create an optimized bedroom environment for the aging society.
