| 520 | |a Buildings including homes are related to a variety of environmental, social, and economic problems. In the twenty-first century, especially two major problems, namely "climate change" and financial problems resulting from "aging population," are expected to become more serious globally. In order to curb the progress of climate change, building sector has to strengthen "mitigation" measures, including improvement in energy efficiency of buildings and utilization of renewable energy. Building sector must also strengthen "adaptation" measures, aiming to reduce adverse effects caused by climate change. On the other hand, homes need to be transformed into those which contribute to reduce illnesses and injuries, which tend to increase in accordance with aging population. Taking accessible and universal design into homes is effective to increase mobility of occupants as well as to prevent injuries. Homes are used for a very long time; therefore, these considerations need to be comprehensively taken into homes from the beginning. | ||
