Simulation Study of Window Size on Indoor Lighting of Old-age Buildings

Abstract

With the rapid development of China’s society, the aging of the population has gradually developed into a hot issue of society. The degree of aging has intensified. The old-age environment of the elderly has gradually become the focus of social attention, and the natural light environment is an important part of the old-age environment. Its role can not be ignored. Based on the light and climate characteristics of the severe cold regions of Xinjiang, this paper uses the light environment simulation software Ecotect to analyze the influence of window-to-wall ratio and window height on the interior lighting of the building, and improve the indoor light environment of the building by changing the size of the window and the height of the window sill. Further suggestions are proposed to improve the light environment of the nursing home.
