I too expected to see more information on ageing when I subscribed to this
network. I would like to receive comments on the following topic:
Subject:
environmental design and planning; response to thermal environment by
elderly population; climate sensitive design/planning of facilities for
the elderly; minimum design standards
Justification:
in the elderly, there is a relationship between satisfaction, quality
of life, depression and well-being to recreation, exercise, and experience
of outdoor environment.
Objective:
climate assessment techniques, design for climate amelioration, standards
for open space design for elderly users
My request:
I'm looking for previous examples of climate analysis and design of outdoor
spaces for elderly users, and references to agencies/funding sources concerned
with housing, design issues.
Thanks for any comment
Kim Mills
