The comprehensive
renovation for aged communities is an important part of improving the building
function, meeting the residential need, and realizing the organic renewal of
the cities. Although there are various renovation techniques, implementing comprehensive
renovation at aged communities is still a major challenge due to low
willingness to renovation from the residents. Therefore, this paper carried out
a questionnaire to study the issues of implementing comprehensive
renovation at aged communities to survey residents' willingness. The resident’s
indoor thermal sensation, willingness to accept renovation measures and investment
willingness were analyzed using the survey data. Potential factors affecting
residents' willingness to accept renovation measures were discussed. The results
showed that residents were willing to accept basic renovation measures but had
low willingness to accept the quality improvement and renewable energy measures.
Socio-economic variables, residential characteristics and indoor thermal sensation
affected residents’ willingness to accept comprehensive renovation. Tailored
renovation schemes based on the existing problems of communities and residents’
willingness could greatly promote implementation of comprehensive renovation.
