Perceived Experiences on Comfort and Health in Two Apartment Complexes with Different Service Life
Residents’ responses and illnesses related to the new houses become currently a popular subject of ‘sick building syndrome’ research. Compared to the research dealing with varied symptoms experienced by residents in new built houses, there has been little attention to residents’ health life for a rather long period in old houses with different service life. Thus, we investigate residents’ perceived comfort and health in two apartments with different service life and see if there is any difference among them depending on the service life. Contrary to our expectation, the results show that the physical properties of the apartments do not much influence residents’ perceived comfort further the energy efficiency does not affect their perceived comfort either. In terms of health, residents’ perceived symptoms in the 33 years old apartment are a bit more severe compared to those in the 11 years old apartment.
