  • Recently Among indoor noises plumbing noise from supply and drain water pipe is being pointed out as a annoying noise following to floor impact noise, and it is increasing the rate to point the noise due to the following several reasons: water pressure, vibration by fabricated structures and direct noise propagation from upper floor through ceiling This study aims to analyse the characteristics of toilet stool plumbing noise in apartment bathroom which are generated by crossing plumbings and elbows. And it analyse the effect of noise reduction by soundproofing and insulations which are covered at crossing plumbings. And also analyse the characteristics of noise about a type of elbows, crossing plumbing and result of dB(A). At last it provide a fundamental data for the purpose of reduction of plumbing noise in apartment.

  • The purpose of this study was to suggest the idea for IAQ improvement of university dormitory through space analysis and residents' evaluation. The data was collected from 105 Konkuk university dormitory residents by a questionnaire survey. As a result, the idea for IAQ improvement of university dormitory can be suggested. First, it was found that it was necessary to improve size of windows and to exchange bathroom exhaust system for ventilation. Secondly, it is important for resident to ventilate and clean their room. Thirdly, the educational program for dormitory residents about maintenance of IAQ was esssentially needed. Also, it is necessary to manage air conditioning equipment maintenance and bathroom hygiene.

  • The purpose of this study was to suggest the spatial structure among residential behaviors in relation to work space. To find the structure, Multi-Dimensional Scaling analysis was used. Respondents were 349 middle income housewives living in apartments in the area of Caopital region. Data were collected through the questinnaire survey. For the future residential interior design, following points were sugtested. A laundary space neess to be developed independently , being separated from both bathroom and kitchen/dining space. A new area which will give housewives some territoriality and also function as home office needs to be considered. A space configuration which satisfies the organic relationships among laundary behaviors such as washing dying, ironing and folding , needs to be systematically planned, with two adjoining separate zones of wet and dry utility . The present bathroom nees to be more incorporated to the private bedroom rather than to workspace.

  • Hollow core wood flush doors for wardrobes, and other general openings and bathroom were designed and fabricated to investigate the factors causing the bowing of them and to find out the countermeasure for the phenomena. Balance in grain orientation, thickness, specific gravity and M.C.(%) of face panel and symmetrical construction were the essential factors to prevent the deflection of flush doors just after manufacturing. Under one-sided severe service condition, the unbalance of M.C. between opposite face panels is inevitable. So the material as thick plywood with high stiffness is considered as an alternative for the stile. UF resin mixing into PVAc emulsion is preferred for bathroom.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristic of planning of Living-Hanok which bases on inherited and developed traditional lifestyle in Jeon-Nam province. After that arranged the characteristic in order which was divided by 9 items such as pattern of developed Hanok, type of floor plan, structure, pattern of using inside space, number of bedroom, the exist of private bathroom in the each bedroom or not, number of bathroom, the exist of storage space in the house or not, style of entrance and the exist of Utility Room or not. Additional, there was interview with resident who have been lived in Living-Hanok since after completion due to investigate resident's concerning of the Hanok. As a result, the last goal of analyze and interview is to presentation of more developed planing factors for Living-Hanok.

  • This project, conducted in Korea, sought to investigate the physical environment of 24 hurs child care centers in order to suggest desirable perspective on it. For this study, documentary research, interviews and survey methods were used. Materials of the 24 hurs child care center were reviewed. The interviews and survey were conducted in 25 public and private centers in Seoul, Busan, Ulsan and Jinju. Caregivers were surveyed children's daily living and regarding the evaluation of physical environment of kitchen, bathroom and restroom of the center. The result of the documentary review indicates that there need to be increased the number of the 24 hr child care centers with quality. Mostly, caregivers were satisfied with the physical indoor environment of the center. However, they wanted the sleeping room and bathroom with bathtub for 24 hurs caring children. This result would be helpful to create useful database for planning the 24 hrs child care center.

  • A total of 30 water samples were collected from 30 different public baths in Seoul, Korea. Contamination of public bath water by waterborne pathogens can cause disease outbreaks and contribute to increase background rates of disease. Pathogens in water was filtered by nitrocellulose membrane with $0.45{\mu}m$ pore size. The membrane filters were analyzed by both cultivation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of partial 16S rRNA gene. Various microorganisms including 4 Escherichia coli/Shigella spp. 1 Salmonella spp. 3 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2 Mycobacterium spp. were identified by reverse blot hybridization assay (REBA). PCR-REBA was able to identify many bacterial genera in one assay. Our results suggest that appropriate hygiene practice and continuous monitoring is needed for reducing health risk associated with public bath houses.

  • Recently Requirement of indoor environment is increased in APT. Among indoor noises of APT, noise of plumbing system in bathroom is very serious problem except of floor impact noise. Plumbing system with wan hanging unit make a good grade and recognition in rating noise of bathroom in grade of house rating. But it is hard to find a data which are measured in APT built. In this study, the effect of noise reduction is checked by measuring the noise of plumbing system with wall hanging unit that is built. As result the upper household's Peak sound level is measured 80dB(A), the under household's peak sound level is measured 40dB(A).

  • This study is for the insulation construction of inner wall in a bathroom facing on the outside in the housings. This new dry construction method can be constructed by a dry panel which is bonded tiles on the extruded and expanded poly-ethylene panel in stead of the existing wet construction method. Compared to the existing method, this panel is light movably and is constructed simply. These representative construction merits are getting wide span in a bath due to reducing wall thickness and saving construction period.
