The recent trends of high-density and high-rise in apartment housing have caused the problems of decrease in ventilation rates and increase of indoor pollutant contaminants. SHS(Sick House Syndrome) has now become a major issue and threats the health of residents. To solve these indoor air problems, increase in ventilation rate is considered as one of the most efficient approach. Thus, the recent housing development is pursuing improvement in the site design and the layout of apartment building blocks to promote natural ventilation is now investigated as one of the fundamental solutions. This study was focused on the air flow characteristics of outdoor environment in an apartment complex to keep the pollutants out of the site. Age of air and pressure difference have been used as indices of the outdoor air quality. Four different types of apartment building layouts have been analyzed by CFD simulation. This study again selected a real apartment housing complex as a case study model. By analyzing the pressure differences between the front and rear of an apartment building block, the ventilation performance in each individual unit was evaluated, and its impact on ventilation performance is investigated by analyzing the stagnant air around the apartment building blocks. During this process, existing patterns of apartment housing layout have been evaluated, and the most appropriate site layout has been chosen to analyze the outdoor airflow patterns. Based on the analysis of airflow patterns of site layout, the possibilities of improving ventilation performance of an individual apartment housing is proposed.

새 집으로 이사를 가거나 집, 사무실 등의 벽지나 바닥재를 바꿨을 때, 인테리어 공사를 한 뒤에 나타날 수 있는 코를 찌르는 매캐한 냄새와 눈이 따가워지는 등의 현상이 새집증후군으로 새집을 장만한 기쁨을 누리는 것도 잠시 뿐이다. 새 건축물이나 새 가구에 사용되는 건축자재, 접착제, 벽지, 페인트 등에서 나오는 휘발성 유기화합물들은 거주자들의 건강과 실내 생활의 불쾌감을 유발시킨다. 이 휘발성 유기화합물들은 대표적 물질인 포름알데히드를 비롯하여 벤젠, 톨루엔, 아세톤, 스틸렌 등이 포함되어 있고 이러한 물질들은 장시간에 걸쳐 서서히 방출되어 거주자들에게 급성 또는 만성적인 질환을 야기한다. 유기 휘발성 물질들의 제거 방법으로는 흡착을 이용한 물리적 방법과 휘발성 물질을 다른 물질로 전환시키는 화학적 방법 또는 두 가지가 혼합된 방법이 주로 사용된다. 본 논고에서는 반응물질의 반응속도와 생성물의 방출을 제어하는 방법으로 얻어지는 서방형의 이산화염소 젤팩과 최적화된 홀 경을 가진 제올라이트 흡착제를 혼용하여 공기 중에 부유하는 포름알데히드를 흡착, 분해시켜 제거하는 효과적인 방법에 대하여 제안하는 바이다.

Since artificial building materials and environmental contamination are getting worse recently, people has been interested in eco-friendly construction. In addition, the problems like Sick Building Syndrome are issued these days. In order to solve these problems, the reuse of building materials and the development of environment-friendly materials are urgently in demand. In this sense, Hwangtoh is in the limelight as the environment-friendly material, and broad studies on it have been in progress. However the reactivity of Hwangtoh is low, and without activation process it is very hard to use it as a building material. This study examined the usability of Hwangtoh as an environmental building material by experimenting the reactivity of inactivated Hwangtoh with Reaction Induction Material.

The main sources of the new house syndrome(sometimes it called sick building syndrome) are a concentration of formaldehyde (HCHO) and a concentration of total volatile organic compounds(TVOC). I had field measurements of indoor air quality in the apartment unit at medium-size cities(Y city, C city). I measured indoor air temperature, HCHO concentration in 16 units, TVOC concentration in 6 units and air tightness in 7 units. And I measured outdoor air quality, HCHO concentration and TVOC concentration. Mean concentration of HCHO was $357{\mu}g/m^3$(2006 standard=$120{\mu}g/m^3$), mean concentration of TVOC was $3,092{\mu}g/m^3$ and mean effective air leakage area was 193 cm2. There was a close relation between the indoor air temperature and HCHO concentration, between the indoor air temperature and TVOC concentration. Air tightness also had relation.

People currently spend more than 80% of their time indoors; therefore, the management of indoor air quality has become an important issue. The contamination of indoor air can cause sick house syndrome and various environmental diseases such as atopy and nephropathy. Formaldehyde gas, which is the main contaminant of indoor air, is lethal even with microscopic exposure; however, it is commonly used as an adhesive and waterproofing agent for indoor building materials. Therefore, there is a need for a gas sensor capable of detecting trace amounts of formaldehyde gas. In this review, we summarize recent studies on metal oxide-based semiconductor gas sensors for formaldehyde gas detection, methods to improve the gas-sensing properties of metal oxides of various dimensions, and the effects of catalysts for the detection of parts-per-billion level gases. Through this, we discuss the necessary characteristics of the metal oxidebased semiconductors for gas sensors for the development of next-generation sensors.

Dibble과 Raupp에 의하여 TiO$_2$와 UV를 이용한 기상 TCE 분해 연구가 수행된 이후 대기오염정화를 위해 TiO$_2$/UV 시스템의 다양한 연구가 집중되어 오고 있는데 (Alberici, 1997), 휘발성유기화합물과 악취성분들의 제거가 주요 목적이 되고 있다. 아세트알데히드는 자극적인 과일 썩는 냄새가 나는 대표적 악취 물질임과 동시에 높은 증기압(740mmHg @2$0^{\circ}C$)으로 휘발성유기화합물로 규제되고 있으며, 요즘현대인들에게 "Sick Building Syndrome"이라는 사회적 문제를 일으키는 물질이다(T. Noguche. 1998). (중략)

The purpose of this study is to assess the characteristics of self-reported symptoms of workers in office building with HVAC system, and also to provide better workplaces in terms of comfort and health. The methods employed in this study include literature review, field observations, and survey. The self-reported symptoms of workers such as headache, fatigue, itching and dryness regarded as SBS symptoms commonly occur after around 3:00 pm and are relieved after leaving their office buildings. according to results in previous studies, above are possibly related to CO2 concentrations. It is also found work environment factors and the satisfaction on indoor environment are all associated with worker's health. Hopefully, this overview of current work environments concerning the level of satisfaction and health problems of workers would help create healthier indoor environment.

Hazardous chemicals emitted from building materials and furniture have led to social problems such as sick house syndrome. Test methods for the evaluation of pollutant emissions from furniture-like products have been applied using various national and international standards and classifications, but they are not currently unified. This research has been done to organize the various standards and certification methods and to make new classification systems. Proper test methods have been proposed, tested, and analyzed through this research.

In recent years, living space of modern society have vared, and new methods to build have been introduced using new building materials and interior finishing materials as the life level is enhanced. But these kinds of materials release some harmful substances to people. The most of people living in new apartment have headache and dizziness, and feel sick of the stomach, sleepiness, eye stimulus, concentration decrease and allergies. That called 'sick house syndrome'is becoming new society problem. The purpose of this study is to investigate the kinds and various problems of the interior finishing materials and to pursue improvement of living place and pleasant interior surroundings.
