Research on Envionmental Resistance Performance of Disaster TemporaryHousing Modular Houses using Large-Scale Environmental Testing Chamber

Purpose: As climate change escalates, the severity of domestic disasters increases, prompting government support for temporary housing solutions like tents, mats, and modular houses in public spaces. Traditional temporary accommodations like gyms and school playgrounds, while rapid to deploy, suffer from inadequate privacy, sanitation, heating, and cooking facilities. Additionally, prefabricated and container houses face issues like prolonged setup times and poor insulation, heating, and environmental stability. Method: This study assesses modular housing as a potential temporary residential solution by evaluating its performance in various environmental conditions. Key metrics include insulation, condensation prevention, and waterproofing. Result: The findings indicate that modular houses meet necessary performance standards under diverse environmental stressors, such as rain and strong winds, without leakage. Therefore, modular housing is poised to address the deficiencies of current temporary housing setups, offering improved living conditions for disaster victims. Further research is suggested to optimize the supply, maintenance, and long-term viability of modular housing systems.
