气候变暖对热舒适和健康造成不利影响，特别是对脆弱的老年人。本研究评估了伦敦养老院夏季过热的当前和未来风险，并探讨了被动通风降低这些风险的潜力。分析是基于两个护理环境的温度监测和未来条件的热模拟模型，有无被动通风策略。结果显示，这两个养老院的过热风险很高，到2050年平均温度为31- 350 ℃。被动通风可以大大减少这些暴露，但成功的方法取决于一天中的时间，持续时间和窗口特性。基于较低的室外温度和22 ° C的室内温度偏差的动态开窗是现在和将来设置的最有益的方法。该研究证明了负担得起的建筑改造对减少老年护理院热压力的有效性。
The warming climate causes adverse effects on thermal comfort and health, especially for vulnerable older adults. This study assesses the current and future risk of summertime overheating in London’s care homes and explores the potential of passive ventilation on reducing these risks. Analysis is based on temperature monitoring of two care settings and on thermal simulation models of future conditions with and without passive ventilation strategies. Results show high overheating exposures for both care homes, with temperatures averaging 31-35 0 C by 2050. Passive ventilation can substantially reduce these exposures, but a successful approach depends on time of day, duration and window characteristics. Dynamic window opening based on lower outdoor temperatures and indoor temperature exceedance of 22 0 C is the most beneficial approach for both settings now and in the future. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of affordable building adaptations for reducing heat stress in senior care homes.
