  • 이 연구에서는 유물 전시관을 대상으로 Active type과 Passive type에 의한 VOCs의 측정 분석법을 사용하여 전시실 내 외의 연중, 계절별 농도를 조사하고 측정방법에 따른 농도 비교를 통해 측정방법 간의 상관성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, Active type에 의한 전시실 TVOC의 연중 평균 농도는 $906.5{\mu}g/m^3$으로 대부분 조사 기간 동안 환경부 기준을 1.8배 이상 초과하였다. Active type에 의한 전시실의 ${\Sigma}VOCs$ 농도는 Passive type 보다 높았다. 일부 VOCs는 시간의 경과에 따라 감소하나 일시적인 상승 경향을 나타내기도 했다. Active type에 의한 전시관의 연평균 I/O비는 TVOC 9.0, ${\Sigma}VOCs$는 34.0으로 조사되어 ${\Sigma}VOCs$가 전시실 내부에서 다량 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 두 방법 간의 상관성 분석 결과, ${\Sigma}VOCs$의 상관계수는 0.367이었으며 톨루엔은 0.567로 두 분석 방법 간의 연관성이 가장 큰 것으로 조사되었다.

  • This study analysis the effect of various temperatures (20, 35 and $50^{\circ}C$) on the formaldehyde emission from wood composites, which were particleboard (PB), medium density fiberboard (MDF), high density fiberboard (HDF) and laminated HDF (L-HDF) by Japanese desiccator method. Also, to reduce formaldehyde emission by wood composites, it has been suggested that undergo a bake-out conditions. On average, the level of formaldehyde emission increased many times with a $15^{\circ}C$ increase in temperature from 20 to $35^{\circ}C$ for PB, MDF, HDF and L-HDF, respectively. Formaldehyde emissions from wood composites could be expected to increase with increasing ambient temperature. At $35$ for 28 days bake-out treatment of boards, the free formaldehyde emission reduced 67.8% (PB), 40.1% (MDF), 37.8% (HDF), and 35.2% (L-HDF). On the other hand, after the bake-out at $50^{\circ}C$ for 28 days, the formaldehyde concentration decreased by 88.2, 66.9, 62.2 and 59.3% of the concentration before the bake-out for PB, MDF, HDF and L-HDF, respectively. An interesting of the bake-out treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ after 14 days, formaldehyde emission grade of PB & MDF down $E_2$ to $E_1$, and HDF & L-HDF down $E_1$ to $E_0$.

  • Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), in order to make $TiO_2$ effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced $TiO_2$ was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced $TiO_2$ was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified $TiO_2$, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L $min^{-1}$). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

  • User-oriented Design is necessary in planning the interior design of Metropolitan Railroads trains, since this is a typical means of transportation in this modem society and all ages people with different body scale use this facility. However, there are little studies about facility panning and zoning of Metropolitan Railroads train considering users. Therefore, in this study, after completing the checklist based on the current legal standards of facility installation of South Korea and Japan, we examined user's facility and suggest several improvement of the opening 14 metropolitan railroad lines in Seoul. Then, we evaluated this facilities according to 41 standards; general facility(24 standards), safety facility(4 standards), guide facility(11 standards), other facility(4 standards). The result of this study may be summarized as follows. 1) General facility has to be designed to obtain lots of room for storage and this facility should be fixed up tightly with secure system. 2) Safety facility should be designed to minimize a difference of floor-level between threshold of train and ground. Also, using various color and material could help passengers to distinguish different space and facility. 3) Guide facility should be designed to guide passengers to the accurate direction with proper sign design in the pathway of Metropolitan railroad train. Also, more various color, which based on the research about physiological and psychological effect, should be used to guide people. 4) Other facility should equip more visual system using common good and informative contents. Through this study, we try to understand the current interior physical condition of Metropolitan Railroads trains. However, for future studies, it is expected to supplement evaluation standards considering aesthetic design, environmental improvement of indoor air quality and the satisfaction and demand of Metropolitan Railroads trains.

  • 현대 생활에서 대부분의 사람들은 90%이상을 실내(가정, 일반사무실, 실내작업장, 공공건물, 지하시설물, 상가, 음식점, 자동차, 지하철 등)에서 생활하기 때문에 실내공기질(indoor air quality)은 개인이 오염물질에 노출되는 주요한 요인이다. 이산화질소($NO_2$)는 고온의 연소과정에서 발생되는 부산물로써 차량, 발전소와 산업장 등에서 발생되고 있다. 실내에서 이산화질소의 농도는 가스레인지, 케로센(kerosene) 난방기, 흡연에 주로 영향을 받는다. $NO_2$는 호흡기 증상과 관련된 각종 질환을 유발시키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 한국의 서울에서 직장인 95명의 시간활동도가 조사되었으며, 호주 브리스베인에서 직장인 57명의 시간활동도와 동시에 각 가정의 실내.외 및 직장의 $NO_2$ 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 개인 $NO_2$ 노출을 예상하여 각 도시의 빈도분포를 예상하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 보면 다음과 같다. 1. 서울의 95명의 직장인들은 실내에서 약 83.8%의 시간을 보냈으며, 브리스베인의 57명의 직장인들은 실내에서 약 88.3%의 시간을 보냈다. 2. 브리스베인에서 측정된 실내의 NO2 평균농도는 10.5ppb(${\pm}5.6$), 실외의 NO2 평균농도는 14.5ppb(${\pm}5.8$), 직장에서의 $NO_2$ 평균농도는 18.2ppb(${\pm}5.0$)였다. 개인의 $NO_2$ 노출은 평균 15.0ppb(${\pm}5.2$)였다. 개인의 $NO_2$ 노출은 실외의 $NO_2$ 농도(r=0.42)보다 실내의 $NO_2$ 농도(r=0.42)보다 실내의 NO2 농도(r=0.49)에 상관성이 더 높았다. 3. 시간 가중치 모델을 이용한 개인 $NO_2$ 노출은 측정된 개인 NO2 노출과 통계학적으로 상관성을 가지고 있었다(r=0.58). 예측된 개인 $NO_2$ 노출은 측정된 $NO_2$ 노출보다 낮게 나타났으며, 이것은 출퇴근 등에 의한 교통의 이동에 따른 노출 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. 4. $NO_2$ 농도 분포를 log-normal 분포, 시간활동도를 Normal 분포로 가정하고 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 했을 때 서울의 직장인의 개인 노출은 평균 36.7ppb(${\pm}10.9$)였으며, 브리스베인의 직장인의 개인 노출은 평균 13.7ppb(${\pm}4.1$)였다.

  • The Korean Ministry of Environment started controlling indoor air quality (IAQ) in 2004 through the introduction of a law regulating the use of pollutant emitting building materials. The use of materials with formaldehyde emission levels above $1.25 mg/m^2{\cdot}h$ (JIS A 1901, small chamber method) has been prohibited. This level is equivalent to the $E_2$ grade ($>5.0mg/{\ell}$) of the desiccator method (JIS A 1460). However, the $20{\ell}$ small chamber method requires a 7-day test time to obtain the formaldehyde and volatile organic compound (VOC) emission results from solid building interior materials. As a approach to significantly reduce the test time, the field and laboratory emission cell (FLEC) has been proposed in Europe with a total test time less than one hour. This paper assesses the reproducibility of testing formaldehyde and TVOC emissions from wood-based composites such as medium density fiberboard (MDF), laminate flooring, and engineered flooring using three methods: desiccator, perforator and FLEC. According to the desiccator and perforator standards, the formaldehyde emission level of each flooring was ${\le}E_1$ grade. The formaldehyde emission of MDF was $3.48 mg/{\ell}$ by the desiccator method and 8.57 g/100 g by the perforator method. To determine the formaldehyde emission, the peak areas of each wood-based composite were calculated from aldehyde chromatograms obtained using the FLEC method. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde and benzaldehyde were detected as aldehyde compounds. The experimental results indicated that MDF emitted chloroform, benzene, trichloroethylene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xy-lene, styrene, and o-xylene. MDF emitted significantly greater amounts of VOCs than the floorings did.

  • Current Architectural Facade Designs have been trending to increased glass areas resulting in increasing impact on interior lighting and daylighting. In regards to indoor environmental quality, the increase in window space has a large impact on the daylighting received which ultimately impacts the liveability of a space. Especially when considering seasons, in the summer, excessive daylighting can result in glare as well as put an increased load in conditioning the air space further reducing energy efficiency. As a result, in order to improve the sustainability performance of a building, it is important to limit the natural lighting exposure to properly meet the needs and conditions of the building occupants. One of the most representative features to limit excessive sunlight exposure, is to incorporate operable blind systems. To this end, this research has been based on simulations performance through the Radiance Program. Radiance is capable of analyzing performance of daylight and impact of sunlight. Through analysis of different slat angles and blind shapes, impact and minimization of energy usage was evaluated. Furthermore, seasonal analysis was performed in order to understand the effects of seasonal climate factors. Ultimately this research provides an analysis of operable blinds optimization and effects of blind shape, control factors and angle of shading.
