PMV, $CO_2$ and the energy consumption performance were numerically investigated in a large space with air-conditioning systems of four type. The numerical results showed that thermal comforts in the occupied zone are nearly similar in three systems except 3-way wall type system air-conditioner with ventilation system installed 2.2m height from the bottom. In case of 3-way wall type system air-conditioner the energy consumption for cooling loads was reduced about 25.5% compared to other air-conditioning systems. From the viewpoint of IAQ, it was turned out that system air-conditioner with ventilation system became worse about 20% compared to central air-conditioning systems for cooling load. The PMV, $CO_2$ concentration and energy consumption of all systems for heating loads were similar in a large space considered.

This paper performed to investigate on vertical temperature distribution, effective draft temperature (ETD) and PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) in the classroom, which is located YangSan city (Kyungsangnam-Do), Korea, is equipped with ceiling unit. The vertical temperature difference between F.L+10 cm (ankle) and F.L+120 cm (neck) of a measuring point which is adjacent corridor in the classroom showed about $1^{\circ}C$ but of measuring point which is adjacent outdoor expressed up to $4^{\circ}C$, The effective draft temperature (ETD) is -2.3 and -0.52 and 0.67 at near ceiling unit but is 1.2 and 3.3 at far from ceiling unit. The PMV of total classroom showed the range of 'Cold' and 'Slightly Cold.' Therefore, to achieve comfort condition in the classroom is equipped with ceiling unit, the location of ceiling unit and discharge angle and discharge distance from ceiling unit are very important elements.

As expansion of balconies at apartments has been legalized, the major function of the balconies as a thermal buffer zone is disappearing. This weakens the ability of window to insulate heat and multiplies surface condensation. Thus more and more residents require solutions to increasing surface condensation and aggravation in thermal comfort. This study intends to provide basic data by evaluating performance of triple layered Low-E windows, triple layered clear windows, double layered Low-E windows and double layered clear window used for expanded balconies and marketed within the country in terms of surface condensation and thermal environment through simulation. Results revealed that no surface condensation occurred at double layered Low-E windows and triple layered Low-E windows. Surface condensation took place at double layered clear windows and triple layered clear windows at a relative humidity of 60%. Thermal environment analysis suggested that double layered clear windows showed the most time falling into the range of comfort at $23^{\circ}C$. The figure were $22^{\circ}C$ for triple layered clear windows, $22^{\circ}C$ for double layered Low-E windows and $21^{\circ}C$ for triple layered Low-E windows.

In this paper, we performed the experimental and numerical study on the thermal comfort(TC) and indoor air quality(IAQ) in the lecture room with a different airflow rate of the ventilation system and heating system for heating season. Through the experimental results, we found out that there was considerably difference of the PMV but there was little difference of $CO_2$ concentration with a different heating system. From a numerical results, the best operating condition was that discharge airflow rate of SAC is 29 CMM and supply airflow rate of the ventilation system is 1,200 CMH from a viewpoint of TC and IAQ.

The thermal comfort of an indoor swimming pool is different from that of general indoor space because of the characteristics of large space and the wear conditions of swimmers. Dew condensation by humid air not only makes mold on the floor, wall and roof but also decreases the durability of buildings by penetrating into their structures. In this study, the characteristics of the flow field, the temperature field and the humidity distribution in an indoor swimming pool have been examined by the numerical method to estimate the level of thermal comfort and the generation rate of dew condensation. The results showed that the dew condensation regions were spread widely at the eastern parts of the swimming pool due to the insufficient air flow rate with low velocity and temperature. To prevent the generation of dew condensation in a region, a sufficient warm air flow rate should be supplied to make an air mixing. The values of PMV at horizontal plane of 1.5 m height have the range of -1.0∼1.2, which means the suitable level for swimmers.

환경부는 2006년 12월에 대중교통수단 실내공기질 관리 가이드라인을 마련하였다. 관리항목으로 이산화탄소($CO_2$)와 미세먼지(PM10)에 대해 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 이에 따라 객차내 온열환경에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 승객이 실내에서 느끼는 온열환경 범위는 어느 정도인지 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 KTX, 무궁화호, 새마을호 객차 실내를 대상으로 2007년 9월과 10월에 측정을 하였다. 그리고 ASHRAE Handbook에 제시하고 있는 온열환경 범위가 어느 정도인지 분석하였다. 그 결과 평균 PMV 값은 KTX가 0.1과 0.22, 무궁화호가 0, 새마을호가 0.1로, 이는 ASHRAE Handbook의 -0.5 < PMV < +0.5범위에 만족한 수준으로 나타났다.

Cool-down performance after soaking is important because it affects passenger's thermal comfort. The cooling capacity of HVAC system determines initial cool down performance in most cases, the performance is also affected by location, and shape of panel vent, indoor seat arrangement. Therefore, optimal indoor designs are required in developing a new car. In this paper, initial cool down performance is predicted by CFD(computational fluid dynamics) analysis. Experimental time-averaging temperature data are used as inlet boundary condition. For more reliable analysis, real vehicle model and human FE model are used in grid generation procedure. Thermal and aerodynamic characteristics on re-circulation cool vent mode are investigated using CFX 12.0. Thermal comfort represented by PMV(predicted mean vote) is evaluated using acquired numerical data. Temperature and velocity fields show that flow in passenger's compartment after soaking is considerably unstable at the view point of thermodynamics. Volume-averaged temperature is decreased exponentially during overall cool down process. However, temperature monitored at different 16 spots in CFX-Solver shows local variation in head, chest, knee, foot. The cooling speed at the head and chest nearby panel vent are relatively faster than at the knee and foot. Horizontal temperature contour shows asymmetric distribution because of the location of exhaust vent. By evaluating the passenger's thermal comfort, slowest cooling region is found at the driver's seat.

자동차를 이용하는 시간이 늘어남에 따라 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 그러나 아직까진 실제 자동차 중에서 공조시스템의 냉방성능은 자동차 제조사별로 온열쾌적성 지표를 통해 평가되지 않고, 실내의 공기 속도와 온도 등 열환경 기준에 의해 평가되고 있다. 또한 차 실내의 온열쾌적성을 수치해석으로 평가하는 경우 타당한 결과를 도출할 수 있는 수치기법에 대한 기준이 확립되지 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 외부 열원을 모사하기 위하여 태양광선 추적모델을 사용하고, 공조시스템 작동 후 20 분까지 다양한 매개변수(공조시스템의 작동모드와 작동풍량, 인체모델 탑승조건)에 대한 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 지표를 예측할 수 있는 평가모델을 도출하였다.

Objectives: A hospital is a complex building that serves many different purposes. The indoor environment in a hospital plays a major role in patient well-being and the work efficiency of the hospital staff. This study was conducted to evaluate overall comfort in two major hospitals over the course of one year. Methods: Various indoor environmental conditions were measured in two general hospitals for one year (April 2014 to April 2015). Monitoring alternated between the hospitals at one month per respective monitoring session. The indoor air temperature, relative humidity (RH), mean radiant temperature and air velocity were measured in order to calculate the predicted mean vote (PMV). Carbon dioxide concentration, noise level and illumination level were concurrently measured and applied to the overall IEQ acceptance model for the hospitals (IEQh). Results: The IEQh at the two general hospitals was different at five spaces within a building. The IEQh for summer and winter were significantly different. Real-time IEQh demonstrated that indoor comfort was affected by the hospital's operating hours due to operation of the HVAC system. The percentage of indoor comfort in the hospitals was higher using PMV than IEQh. Conclusion: IEQh in the hospitals was different at locations with different purposes. Indoor comfort assessment using IEQh was stricter than with PMV. Additional research is needed in order to optimize the IEQh model.

바닥복사난방 공간에서 생활특성과 착의량에 따른 열쾌적 범위를 제시하고 각 조건별 에너지사용량 및 비용을 산출하여 비교하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 좌식생활이 입식생활보다 낮은 온도에서 중립적 온도를 나타냈는데 바닥표면과 인체사이의 국부적인 열전달이 전신온열감에 영향을 주었기 때문으로 판단된다. 착의량이 높을수록 낮은 온도에서 중립점 온도를 나타냈는데 착의량을 증가시키면 인체에서 방출되는 열손실이 감소하여 낮은 실내온도에서 동일한 열쾌적을 느낄 수 있기 때문으로 판단된다. 좌식생활방식이 입식생활방식보다 평균 6.0%의 에너지 사용량이 절감되는 것으로 나타나 좌식생활이 경제적인 생활방식으로 분석되었다. 착의량 1.2 Clo 상태가 착의량 1.0 Clo 상태보다 평균 13.5%, 착의량 0.8 Clo상태보다 평균 18.0%의 에너지 사용량이 절감되는 것으로 나타나 동절기에 착의량을 증가시키는 생활습관의 변화만으로도 에너지 절감 효과가 큰 것으로 분석되었다.
