as the aging population, family, country development trend, combined with the lifestyle differences between children and parents increases gradually, the future may be more families choose institutions endowment. This article from the endowment living space, traffic space and activity space three aspects to introduce suitable for elderly health lighting light environment space design proposals. The elderly living space in the living room of the main content for rest and sleep, don't need harsh visual working environment. But the light of old sleep efficiency have a significant impact, so the light of living room environment should consider mainly the elderly circadian rhythms. Research shows that dim light make the circadian system is sensitive to light, bright light, make its become less sensitive, visible day facility in relatively dim light levels might be more vulnerable to make the old man in the evening light, Circadian rhythm) The interference. To reduce the damage degree of the circadian rhythm, the light of the living space environment design may refer to: 1) During the day to provide a high level of daylight and artificial light, reduce the sensitivity of the old man to light at night. 2) Night in habitual 1 ~ 2 hours before bedtime, will be dropped to a low light level, it is best to transform spectrum to the warm tone. 3) At night, the old man need to sleep in the dark environment, at this point, as far as possible to reduce from the corridor and the adjacent space through to the light. 4) Convenient to the old man a night directional lighting at night prior to the floor, the bathroom and toilet appropriate USES warm light, avoid the eye directly see the light. Traffic space in the nursing home space refers to the building corridor, staircase and so on. The corridor space in the nursing home basic divided into the verandah and inside the gallery. Verandah ventilated daylighting condition is good, with daylighting is given priority to, part time auxiliary artificial lighting; In the gallery view closed, more rely on artificial lighting, illumination shortage appear dim depressed. Research shows that people's walking speed and vision were positively correlated. In 10 1 x or less under the illumination of the average walking speed is quicker than the older group of young group, if the floor of illuminance is higher than 30 1 x, the two age groups is similar to walking speed ( FIG. 1) 。 Nursing home corridor space there was a peak in the collective activities such as eating, then need to have good walking speed in order to reduce risk in the elderly, the higher requirements of illumination. At night or the elderly use corridor frequency low period, need to reduce the intensity of illumination, so as not to affect the elderly corridor light into the living room to sleep. This advice, nursing home corridor light environment design adopts adjustable illumination light source, according to the passage people peak and natural light intensity of illumination, intelligence control artificial lighting illumination, the energy is saved and can meet the demand of the elderly to use again. Old man activity ability drops, stair becomes the relative to the most dangerous place in the pension building. Avoid the elderly fell down on the stairs, may refer to: 1) Enhance the level of stair illumination; 2) Increase footfall front and background brightness contrast. Space activity space in the pension institutions generally includes reading room, chess and card room, restaurant and calligraphy studio, etc. According to the old man's behavior, visual space light environment demand is higher, but the requirement of circadian rhythms affect is very low. Activity room of the light environment design, therefore, should be in energy saving at the same time provide high quality lighting for older users, may refer to: 1) Provide a separate task lighting and ambient lighting. Provides concentrated on some difficult visual task lighting, accent lighting such as desk lamp, desktop, the focus of the logo and art lighting, etc. 2) The room surface, metope and ceiling, in particular, should have higher reflection coefficient. To allow more light color surface reflect light into the room, and this kind of indirect light will produce a more uniform distribution of light, and to improve, including the room corner, object visibility. 3) Consider using the larger size and contrast to improve visibility, using large electronic screen, larger font or larger board, etc. , through the use of high contrast markers make important boundary is obvious. Some old men, old age. For the elderly, the vulnerable groups provide conforms to the special needs of health lighting design, not only is the important way to improve the life quality of old people, it is a sign of social progress.
