We investigated the actual condition of room thermal environment, living behavior in summer for the purpose of examining the actual condition of the thermal environment during the daily life of the elderly. In this report, in order to measure the thermal sensation of elderly people living in high temperature room, we conducted experiments to measure thermal sensation and thermal comfort etc. in the laboratory and in climate chamber. The participants were 9 male and 9 female elderly people who took part in house thermal environments measurements. In the case of climate camber and laboratory, they reported that the higher the room temperature was, the hotter the thermal sensation was on the hot side, the thermal comfort became the unpleasant side. On the other hand, the relationship between living room temperature and thermal sensation varied greatly in the their living room. There was not much relation with living room temperature.
