Modern people are spending most of time in interior area. Indoor air environmental problem is one of the most effective factors influenceable to human health. Furthermore, saving energy and making ventilation system for pleasant indoor environment are necessary when it is faced shortage of energy over the world. In our country's case, it is already imposed that required quantity of air ventilation in buildings is 0.7 times per hour on "The regulation on building engineering system". As on the rise of the interests about Indoor air environment, Heat and Carbon dioxide emissions from User's metabolism, activity, furniture, and construction materials etc. could be the causes of Indoor air pollution. If these materials stays in Indoor air for so long, it could directly influence the user's health condition with a disease. As of building's sterilization improved that raised more mechanical ventilation. It also leads much energy waste in a period of high price of fossil fuel. Therefore, the way that saves energy and effective control of indoor ventilation is urgently needed. So, this study places the purpose on validating volume of indoor ventilation and user's comfortable degree by comparison CO2 emission rate through changing floor temperature.

This study measured and compared the variation of ventilation rate and fan energy consumption according to various control strategies after installing wireless sensor-based pilot ventilation system in order to verify the applicability of demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) strategy that was efficient ventilation control strategy for underground parking lot. The underground parking lot pilot ventilation system controlled the ventilation rate by directly or indirectly tracking the traffic load in real-time after sensing data, using vehicle detection sensors and carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) sensor. The ventilation system has operated for 9 hours per a day. It responded real-time data every 10 minutes, providing ventilation rate in conformance with the input traffic load or contaminant level at that time. A ventilation rate of pilot ventilation system can be controlled at 8 levels. The reason is that a ventilation unit consists of 8 high-speed nozzle jet fans. This study proposed vehicle detection sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (VDS-DCV) strategy that would accurately trace direct traffic load and CO sensor based demand-controlled ventilation (CO-DCV) strategy that would indirectly estimate traffic load through the concentration of contaminants. In order to apply DCV strategy based on real-time traffic load, the minimum required ventilation rate per a single vehicle was applied. It was derived through the design ventilation rate and total parking capacity in the underground parking lot. This is because current ventilation standard established per unit floor area or unit volume of the space made it difficult to apply DCV strategy according to the real-time variation of traffic load. According to the results in this study, two DCV strategies in the underground parking lot are considered to be a good alternative approach that satisfies both energy saving and healthy indoor environment in comparison with the conventional control strategies.

The ventilation system is a key device to ensure both healthful indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort in buildings. The ventilation system should make the IAQ meet the standards such as ASHRAE 62. This study deals with a new approach to modeling the ventilation and IAQ requirement in residential buildings. In that approach, Elite software is used to calculate the air supply volume, and CONTAM model as a multi-zone and contaminant dispersal model is employed to estimate the contaminants' concentrations. Amongst various contaminants existing in the residential buildings, two main contaminates of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and carbon monoxide (CO) were considered. CO and $CO_2$ are generated mainly from combustion sources such as gas cooking and heating oven. In addition to the mentioned sources, $CO_2$ is generated from occupants' respirations. To show how that approach works, a sample house with the area of $80m^2$ located in Tehran was considered as an illustrative case study. The results showed that $CO_2$ concentration in the winter was higher than the acceptable level. Therefore, the air change rate (ACH) of 4.2 was required to lower the $CO_2$ concentration below the air quality threshold in the living room, and in the bedrooms, the rate of ventilation volume should be 11.2 ACH.

도로터널의 환기 시스템은 차량 화재시 안전한 대피환경을 조성하는데 중요한 역할을 하며 종류환기방식과 횡류환기방식으로 대별된다. 본 연구에서는 횡류환기방식에서 대배기방식에 대한 터널내 풍속, 배연풍량, 개방되는 배기구의 위치에 따른 유동가시화 실험을 수행하여 연기의 이동특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 배연풍량을 연기발생량(Vc = 0)일 때 연기를 250m 이내로 제한할 수 있었으며, 터널 풍속이 1.75m/s와 2.5m/s일 때 배연풍량은 각각 $173m^3/s$, $236m^3/s$을 초과하여만 연기이동 거리가 250m로 제한할 수 있었으며 화재지점 가까이에 있는 2개의 배기구를 동시에 개방하는 경우가 배연이 더 잘 이루어졌다.

In this study, the solar chimney, one of the passive solar systems, is proposed as a method to improve the thermal environment of northern zones in buildings. As this well-known system has rarely been used in building projects, an adequate application of the system is proposed in this paper: the solar chimney system is designed to meet the required ventilation rate and consequently to reduce the ventilation load in the northern part of a building. To investigate such a possibility, a numerical model for the system is developed, and results of numerical tests are used for energy simulations. The results were taken into account for test simulations in EnergyPlus. As a result, approximately 75% of the volumetric ventilation rate required in the north zone could be supplied with the air volume acquired through the system and the monthly mean load was reduced by 29.5%, from 1.584 kWh to 1.117 kWh. The analyses of hourly mean heating and ventilation load over the heating period indicated that the system was very effective at around 13:00. Results show that 33% reduction in the ventilation load and 17% in the heating load for the north zone could be acquired through this system.

Because of the airtightness of building, misuse of building materials and abuse of furniture, indoor air pollution problems have been increasingly concerned especially with apartment buildings. To improve the IAQ(Indoor Air Quality) in apartment building, this study was aimed at analyzing the factor of interior building material and furniture and calculating the ventilation rate of living room and bed room according to the surface area of interior building material and furniture in terms of VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) and HCHO(Formaldehyde). The results of this study are as follows; 1) In the concerned rooms, the living room has less pollution emission rate L(surface area/volume) than that of the bed room but, the living room needs more ventilation rate than that of the bed room because of built-in furniture in terms of VOCs and HCHO. 2) Built-in interior furniture is very important factor in IAQ problems of apartment building, but until now there is no provision about the built-in furniture, so that the provision must be regulated to control the IAQ. 3) To control the IAQ problem, the effective ventilation plans must be established according to the required ventilation rate by means of natural or mechanical ventilation method.

고빈도 진동환기가 동맥혈의 가스분압에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 저자들은 9마리의 고양이를 대상으로 진동빈도, 일회분출량 및 bias flow를 다양하게 변화시켜 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 일회분출량과 bias flow를 고정시킨 후 진동빈도를 점차 증가시켜 도 $PaCO_2$의 변동은 없었다(Table 1). 2) 진동빈도를 고정시킨 후 일회분출량과 bias flow를 변화시켜 관찰하였던 바 $PaCO_2$는 bias flow의 변화와는 상관관계가 없으나, 일회분출량의 변화와는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다(p<0.01)(Table 2, Fig. 1). 3) $PaCO_2$는 진동빈도를 15Hz로 고정시킨 상태하에서는 1회 분출량 및 bias flow를 증가시켜도 큰 변동없이 정상으로 유지되었다(Table 2). 이상의 결과로 고빈도 진동환기법에서 $PaCO_2$의 결정인자는 진동빈도와 bias flow와는 무관하였고 일회분출량과는 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 온실가스 저감과 더불어 저탄소배출 정책 등 환경오염에 관심이 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 탄소배출을 저감할 수 있는 수소전지자동차를 비롯한 친환경 자동차의 보급률이 증가하고 있어 이에 대한 방재 및 안전관련 대책에 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지하주차장의 장소에 국한하여 환기조건에 따라 수소연료자동차의 방출 시 수소의 농도 분포에 대한 위험정도를 수치해석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수소탱크가 1개만 방출 될 경우 지하주차장 내 수소의 가연체적비는 최대 8.6%로 나타났으며, 환기가 지속적으로 이루어짐에 따라 연소가능한 수소의 체적비율은 150초 이후 1% 미만으로 감소되는 것으로 분석되어 기계적인 환기가 필수적인 것으로 분석되었다. 수소탱크 3개가 동시방출 또는 단계방출의 경우 최종적인 수소의 가연체적비율은 유사하지만 단계적으로 지연 방출함에 따라 방출 초기 수소의 가연체적비율의 증가폭이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따른 수소탱크 방출 시나리오의 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 예상된다.

소요환기량은 터널단면을 결정하기 위한 기초적인 자료로, 터널 내 환기 시스템을 결정하기 위한 주요한 요소이다. 소요환기량은 터널 내 교통량 자료에 기초하고 있으며, 차량으로부터 배출되는 오염물질량과 터널 내 허용농도 기준에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 처음으로 국내 기준이 한국도로공사에 의하여 규정된 1997년 이후 20년간 변화한 도로터널 환기설계기준을 검토하고 최근의 환경부 '제작차 배출허용기준'과 세계도로협회(WRA) 2019년 설계권고기준 등을 바탕으로, 터널의 특성, 특히 길이 및 종단경사를 고려하여 소요환기량 차이 및 영향을 비교분석하였다.
