The authors introduce their paper pointing to the increase, globally, in the number of individuals affected with dementia, and a growing need to improve the quality of life of such individuals. The behavioral and psychological challenges associated with this syndrome often necessitates the referral of the patient to be placed in residential care homes. Literature indicates that the physical environments of facilities designed for dementia patients impact their well-being and quality of life. However, there are few studies addressing all such indoor environmental (IE) factors potentially affecting the behavior of the residents of these facilities. This paper reports findings from research conducted in six residential care homes (RCH) in Hong Kong studying the impact of IE factors on the behavior of dementia residents. The study found lighting, acoustic, and thermal environments to be the main IE factors that impact the behavior of dementia patients.
