This research is to analyze the ventilation performance of mechanical ventilation systems for indoor air quality control and management. A ventilation performance with supply sites is evaluated in a test model chamber and office room. A $CO_2$ gas as a tracer gas is used to measure the ventilation performance. The ventilation performance is found to increase with increased the ventilation rate. The ventilation performance is analysed with 55% at the supply air of 570 lpm and with 20% at the supply air of 100 lpm in a test chamber. The ventilation performance is better than 15% comparing with natural decay at the supply of 570 lpm in office room.

We performed the numerical analysis on the characteristics of indoor air quality and local supply index with a variation of supply · exhaust airflow rate. We analyzed the local supply index and carbon dioxide concentration at the room and breathing zone with respect to the variation of the supply · exhaust airflow rate. From the numerical results, we found that local supply index was affected but carbon dioxide concentration was hardly affected by the variation of the airflow rate in the room. And we also knew that carbon dioxide concentration was raised in despite of the increment of the supply airflow rate in the breathing zone. After this study it is necessary to analyze the local exhaust index when we evaluate the state of the ventilation in the room.

Most electric rooms are located in the underground spaces of buildings. When a fire occurs in electrical equipment, the fire expands to cable insulation material, resulting in toxic smoke and combustion products. If the smoke and combustion products quickly move vertically and horizontally, the evacuation of occupants and firefighting activities will be hindered. Therefore, it is necessary to design optimal equipment for smoke control in cases of fires in electric rooms. This study analyzes the characteristics of smoke and combustion products in fires in a cubicle-type switchboard in an electric room using PyroSim, which is based on the program Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). The fire modeling consists of four scenarios according to the operation mode of the mechanical ventilation equipment, the amount of air supply and exhaust, and the location of the air supply slot. The analysis shows that the mechanical ventilation equipment improves the smoke density, visibility, carbon monoxide concentration, and temperature characteristics. The visibility and temperature characteristics were improved when the air flow rate and the location of the air supply slot from fire defense regulations were applied.

Performance-oriented design has been introduced in fire protection design, and various efforts have been made to minimize the damage caused by fire in the design stage. We conducted a study to provide information for reasonable design factors using a Fire Dynamic Simulation code provided by the NIST on boundary width and amount of supply. This paper shows that using a living-room air-supply system in a large space and dividing the space by a ventilation boundary are the two factors that are considered to have the greatest influence on the design of the living room ventilation. The results show that for performance-based design, the width of the ventilation boundary is designed to be the maximum limit in the initial design. It is judged that reasonable air volume determination should be made through various methods.

개방형 사무실 건물에서, 총 환기량이 적정할지라도 국부적으로 환기가 부족하거나 또는 과다한 작업공간들이 존재할 수 있다. 이것은 환기시스템을 설계할 때 작업공간의 배치와 관련된 정보를 활용하지 않기 때문이다. 모든 작업공간이 충분히 환기될 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 급기구나 배기구 그릴의 형태나 배치선정 등과 같은 다 양한 설계변수들이 작업공간의 HVAC 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하여야 한다. 본 원고는 최근 수행된 작업공간의 환기 성능에 관한 연구결과를 요약한 것이다.

In this study boundary velocity which is one of the important boundary conditions for numerical simulation for subway station on fire are experimentally obtained. The tests were conducted according to its operating mode of the ventilation systems in the platform: smoke extraction ventilation mode in occurrence of fire and normal ventilation mode for air conditioning. Velocities are measured at various points on the platform. To examine smoke extraction and air supply capacity in the platform level, air velocities were checked on opening vents. Numerical analysis under normal ventilation mode without fire is conducted by using measured boundary conditions, and the numerical results are compared with the measured velocities on the platform.

This study developed a ventilation damper that can control flow rate according to pressure differential variation of the smoke control room in order to improve problems related to existing smoke management systems and maximizing performance of smoke management systems. The development damper was tested for verification of utility and performance. The supply flow of the developed ventilation damper was increased by about 1 to 5%. The results prove the effectiveness of the flow control ventilation damper by providing stable flow over the designed flow of the fan in the smoke control room. In addition, the study acquired the original technology for a flow control ventilation damper.

In this paper, we discussed the energy performance of underfloor air distribution(UFAD) and overhead air distribution system according to outdoor air intake rates in a office building. For this, the laboratory(S lab.) is selected for measuring the thermal environments of UFAD system and overhead system. Based on the measured data, the TRNSYS simulation is used to evaluate the energy performance of UFAD system and the overhead system according to outdoor air intake rates. By increasing outdoor air intake rates from required outdoor air intake rates(100CMH) to maximum air intake rates, the energy savings of UFAD system comparing with overhead system are varied $15%{\sim}25.6%$ in summer, $12.8%{\sim}19%$ in fall/spring and not varied in winter(8%). As results of simulations on stratification height and cooling set temperature, the lower the stratification height and the higher cooling set temperature, the larger cooling energy savings of UFAD comparing with overhead system according to outdoor air intake rates.

In this study, the ventilation characteristics and the relationships between the required ventilation flow rate and the ventilation system flow rate was investigated by numerical method for the optimum design of the transverse ventilation and semi-transverse ventilation system in road tunnels. The following results were obtained. In supply exhaust transverse ventilation system, the system supply-exhaust air flow rate is theoretically equal to the difference between the required ventilation flow rate and natural ventilation flow rate. However, it is shown that it increases by about 10% in the analysis results. And, in the case of the longitudinal air flow rate is increased by installed jet fans, ventilation system air flow rate is reduced. However, as the longitudinal air flow rate increases, the concentration of pollutants in the tunnel decreases, so the exhaust effect of pollutants decreases, and the effect of reducing the system air flow rate is decreased. In case of semi-transverse with only air supply, ventilation system air flow rate is equal to required ventilation air flow rate when tunnel inlet velocity is negative, but results is shown it is increased within about 13.3%. Also, it was found that ventilation effect can not be expected even if the jet fans are increased when the tunnel inlet velocity is negative.
