Recently, the use of UVGI system has been increasing in both medical and nonmedical buildings for the control of environmental microorganisms. In the present study, irradiance performance test of UVC lamp was carried out and indoor air sterilization effect of UV ray for preventing transimission of air borne contagion was investigated by using manufactured UVC air sterilizer. Experimental results show that the effective irradiance of UVC lamp is strongly dependent on air velocity and temperature in irradiance performance test. An individual microbiological killing effectiveness experiment also shows that the average kill rate of two microbiological samples such as bacteria and fungus is about $92\%$ by using manufactured UVC air sterilizer. Additionally irradiance performance experimental results also show that the ballast is very important factor to keep up irradiance performance of UVC lamp.

Recently H1N1(swine flu) and SARS has been infected widely in the world; we have to care about germs and virus in indoor air environment. The air sterilization system investigated in this study allows occupants to turn on/off and to control the incoming air speed and direction. To predict the performance of air sterilization system without real experiment, a simulation is considered to compare and analyze the performance of the air sterilization systems in a typical office space. Multiple system parameters including volume flow rate and velocity of supply air were varied and investigated during the simulation. The investigation result shows that difference (between simulation and experiment) was about 3.5% in case of minimum air flow rate and about 0.2% in case of maximum air flow rate. The results indicate that multi-zone simulation technique can be used to predict the performance of a sterilization system in personalized office.

The air purity-sterilizer was developed and the CFD and experimental studies were carried out in order to investigate the performance of a air purity-sterilizer. Overhaul and exchange efficiency were increased by the modularization of the air purity-sterilizer. The good performance was validated by the hot-wire measurements and flow simulations in the room. Mean velocities at the exit of the air purity-sterilizer were 0.91, 1.62, 1.99, and 6.14 m/sec according to the fan mode. And the flow visualization of pured air was shown by using CFD flow simulation in the room of 24, 50 pyeong. The results show that the air purity-sterilizer has a high performance enough to produce air purity-sterilizer on a commercial scale.

In this study multi-zone modeling program CONTAM 2.4 which is developed by NIST is used for modeling the air disinfection system which is consist of dilution, filtration, ultra violet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) for removing the indoor microorganism such as bacteria and fungus. Developed models those protect occupants against indoor microorganism generated in our daily life are enable to use for immune building simulation tool. Also, results indicate that those models are enable to compute the real situation that is almost impossible of carrying out experiment and identify the disinfection rate with highly reliance. Results also suggest that engineers will use these models as a design tool for the immune building system.

From the point of view to prevent airborne infection-related diseases such as H1N1, SARS, and MERS, an actual application of air cleaning and purification systems including technologies like UVGI has become increasingly important. Recently, an air purification system using REME (Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy) developed in the U.S. is applied for indoor air purification and sterilization technology to counteract the outbreak of new airborne infections. In this study, an air sterilization performance experiment using REME was carried out. The results verified that air sterilization performance in the case of installing a REME system in a medical center was 31%, namely the number of floating bacteria decreased by 31% after only a five-day operation. In addition, the number of culture collections in the REME operating air conditioning systems using nonpathogenic Geobacillus stearothemophilus as a biological indicator decreased maximally to 67%. A field application of REME technology will be useful to prevent airborne infection-related diseases, especially in response to public health crises due to the advent of emerging diseases.

In this study multi-zone modeling program CONTAM 2.4 developed by NIST is used for estimating the air disinfection rate of the interior of a room which is set up the indoor air disinfection system with filter and ultra violet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). Developed models those enable to predict the transmission of air home contagion such as bacteria and fungus generated in our daily life are useful model for designning air cleaning & ventilation system of building. Also, results indicate that these models are enable to compute the real situation that is almost impossible of carrying out experiment in an actual condition due to biohazard problems and suggest that engineers will use these models as a design tool for the future immune building system.

본 연구는 오존수 제조장치에 인젝터를 이용한 오존 주입방식을 도입하여 소형화, 저전력화를 실현하고자 하였다. 오존발생기, 물-오존 혼합기(인젝터), 오존용해조, 배오존 처리기로 구성된 시스템을 제작하여 인젝터 주입방식에 의한 오존수 제조장치의 오존 용해특성과 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 오존 용해 특성으로 물-공기량에 따른 인젝터 성능, 용해조에서의 오존 용해능 등을 검토하였다. 인젝터 방식은 기존의 가압용해방식에 비하여 저농도 용해능을 보였으나, 인젝터 내부의 물-오존 접촉효율이 높아 평형농도에 도달되는 시간이 단축됨을 확인하였다. 제조된 오존수의 적용 효용성은 용존오존의 잔류시간과 미생물 살균능 검사를 통하여 실시하였다. 횡형식 인젝터 시스템에 의해 용해된 용존오존의 잔류시간이 기존의 가압용해방식에 비하여 다소 짧았으나 미생물의 살균능에는 크게 차이가 나지 않았다.
