Establishing international guidance for indoor environmental conditions for healthy aging in place

EF 2022-23 · 2023-02-01

Résumé
The older population is experiencing growth and a considerable proportion of them live in their homes and express preference to age in place. The main guidance for buildings, such as building codes or indoor environmental quality standards, is based on research with young or working-age adults and not necessarily support health and well-being for seniors. On a specific approach, environmental noise directly affects sleep quality when the building envelope system is not properly designed, which consequently have negative effects on PAGE 4 health. The degree of disturbance caused by noise varies over age and has not been well investigated. This project will investigate the effects of noise in sleep quality of older adults aiming to identify suitable interior acoustic conditions to support health and well-being for adults as they age. The study includes a literature review to establish knowledge gaps and support the decision making in the development of the subsequent activities; a survey of the general population to find out their needs and wants with respect to their physical environment and a set of sleep studies, to investigate the effects of different noise conditions in the quality of sleep of aging adults. The study will be developed collaboratively between the NRC and AIST and its outcomes will provide bases for the development of guidelines for suitable interior acoustic conditions to support health and well-being for adults as they age

Description (French)
La population plus âgée est en pleine croissance et une proportion considérable d’entre elles vivent à leur domicile et expriment leur préférence pour le vieillissement sur place. Les principales orientations concernant les bâtiments, telles que les codes du bâtiment ou les normes de qualité de l’environnement intérieur, sont fondées sur des recherches menées auprès de jeunes adultes ou d’adultes en âge de travailler et ne favorisent pas nécessairement la santé et le bien-être des personnes âgées. Le bruit ambiant affecte directement la qualité du sommeil lorsque le système d’enveloppe du bâtiment n’est pas conçu correctement, ce qui a des effets négatifs sur la santé. Le degré de perturbation causé par le bruit varie selon l’âge et n’a pas été bien étudié. Ce projet étudiera les effets du bruit sur la qualité du sommeil des personnes âgées, dans le but de déterminer les conditions acoustiques intérieures appropriées pour favoriser la santé et le bien-être des adultes qui vieillissent. L’étude comprend une revue de la littérature afin d’établir les lacunes dans les connaissances et de soutenir la prise de décision dans le développement des activités ultérieures; une enquête auprès de la population générale pour connaître ses besoins et ses souhaits en ce qui concerne son environnement physique et une série d’études sur le sommeil, afin d’examiner les effets de différentes conditions de bruit sur la qualité du sommeil des adultes vieillissants. L’étude sera développée en collaboration entre le CNRC et l’AIST et ses résultats serviront de base à l’élaboration de lignes directrices pour des conditions acoustiques intérieures appropriées afin de favoriser la santé et le bien-être des adultes vieillissants.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
