Abstract This paper reviews empirical data from evaluations of the influence of residential energy efficiency retrofits on indoor environmental quality conditions and self-reported thermal comfort and health. Data were extracted from 36 studies described in 44 papers plus two reports. Nearly all reviewed studies were performed in Europe or United States. Most studies evaluated retrofits of homes with low-income occupants. Indoor radon and formaldehyde concentrations tended to increase after retrofits that did not add whole-house mechanical ventilation. Study-average indoor concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds other than formaldehyde increased and decreased with approximately equal frequency. Average indoor temperatures during winter typically increased after retrofits, usually by less than 1.5 °C. Dampness and mold, usually based on occupant's reports, almost always decreased after retrofits. Subjectively reported thermal comfort, thermal discomfort, non-asthma respiratory symptoms, general health, and mental health nearly always improved after retrofits. For asthma symptoms, the evidence of improvement slightly outweighed the evidence of worsening. There was insufficient evidence to determine whether changes in thermal comfort and health outcomes varied depending on the type of energy efficiency retrofit. The published research has numerous limitations including a lack of data from retrofits in warm-humid climates and minimal data on changes in objective health outcomes. Suggestions for future research are provided.

住宅能效改造与室内环境质量、舒适度和健康的关联:实证数据回顾

摘要 本文回顾了住宅能效改造对室内环境质量条件和自我报告的热舒适和健康影响评估的经验数据。数据是从 44 篇论文和两份报告中描述的 36 项研究中提取的。几乎所有经过审查的研究都是在欧洲或美国进行的。大多数研究评估了低收入住户的房屋改造。在没有增加全屋机械通风的改造后,室内氡和甲醛浓度趋于增加。研究平均室内二氧化氮和除甲醛以外的挥发性有机化合物浓度以大致相同的频率增加和减少。改造后冬季的平均室内温度通常会升高,通常低于 1.5 °C。潮湿发霉,通常根据居住者的报告,在改造后几乎总是下降。主观报告的热舒适性、热不适、非哮喘呼吸道症状、一般健康和心理健康在改造后几乎总是得到改善。对于哮喘症状,改善的证据略大于恶化的证据。没有足够的证据来确定热舒适度和健康结果的变化是否因能效改造的类型而异。已发表的研究有许多局限性,包括缺乏温暖潮湿气候下的改造数据,以及客观健康结果变化的数据很少。提供了对未来研究的建议。非哮喘呼吸道症状、一般健康和心理健康在改造后几乎总能得到改善。对于哮喘症状,改善的证据略大于恶化的证据。没有足够的证据来确定热舒适度和健康结果的变化是否因能效改造的类型而异。已发表的研究有许多局限性,包括缺乏温暖潮湿气候下的改造数据,以及客观健康结果变化的数据很少。提供了对未来研究的建议。非哮喘呼吸道症状、一般健康和心理健康在改造后几乎总能得到改善。对于哮喘症状,改善的证据略大于恶化的证据。没有足够的证据来确定热舒适度和健康结果的变化是否因能效改造的类型而异。已发表的研究有许多局限性,包括缺乏温暖潮湿气候下的改造数据,以及客观健康结果变化的数据很少。提供了对未来研究的建议。没有足够的证据来确定热舒适度和健康结果的变化是否因能效改造的类型而异。已发表的研究有许多局限性,包括缺乏温暖潮湿气候下的改造数据,以及客观健康结果变化的数据很少。提供了对未来研究的建议。没有足够的证据来确定热舒适度和健康结果的变化是否因能效改造的类型而异。已发表的研究有许多局限性,包括缺乏温暖潮湿气候下的改造数据,以及客观健康结果变化的数据很少。提供了对未来研究的建议。
