Objectives: This study aims to identify whether ventilation conditions and their effectiveness can be significantly improved in an experimental chamber by increasing the mixing factor (K-Factor). Methods: In a chamber with a volume of $1m^3$, air velocity was measured at six different points with four roof fans in the upper part of the chamber being operated in order. The impact of the ventilation conditions was analyzed when the flow rates were increasing and the first inlet of the chamber was either open or closed. Smoke patterns were also observed at four corner points where ventilation was limited. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were performed to compare air velocities measured in the chamber. Results: The air velocities measured at only the third point increased significantly from $0.03{\pm}0.03m/s$ (door open) and $0.05{\pm}0.06m/s$ (door closed) with two fans, $0.08{\pm}0.08m/s$ with three fans, and $0.09{\pm}0.09m/s$ with four fans operating (p<0.05). However, air velocities at the four corner points did not significantly increase. Smoke patters also showed that the open inlet of the chamber had no effect on improvement of ventilation conditions and effectiveness. Conclusions: In this study, the air velocities at six points in the chamber did not significantly increase despite the increase in the mixing factor and flow rates of ventilation in the controlled environment. Therefore, the inflow of outdoor air throughout an open inlet and installation of a forced ventilation system can potentially increase the indoor air velocity and improve ventilation condition without an increase in the mixing factor.

The integration of PV modules into building facades or roof could raise their temperature that results in the reduction of PV system's electrical power generation. Hot air can be extracted from the space between PV modules and building envelope, and used for heating in buildings. The extraction of hot air from the space will enhance the performance of BIPV systems. The solar collector utilizing these two aspects is called PV/T(photovoltaic/thermal) solar collector. This paper compares the experimental performance of two different types of air type PV/T collector units: the base case of a collector unit with 10cm gap for forced ventilation and the other unit with copper pin attached to PV module to enhance its thermal performance. The experimental results shows that the base case unit had the overall efficiency of 41.9% and the improved unit with copper pin attached to PV module had 50.1% efficiency. For these air type PV/T units, the forced ventilation of the air space improved the electrical performance as well as the thermal performance.

본 연구에서는 초미세먼지 주의보가 발효된 2019년 3월 4일~7일까지 약 80시간 동안 국내 지식산업센터 사무실 내 실내 미세먼지와 초미세먼지 농도를 측정하였다. 측정이 이루어지는 동안 공기청정기와 환기장치의 구동에 의한 영향을 확인하였고, 초미세먼지 주의보 날의 실내와 실외의 입자 크기분포를 분석하였다. 사무실의 테라스 쪽 이중 창문과 복도쪽 입구 출입문을 모두 닫은 밀폐 조건에서 실외 대비 실내의 초미세먼지 농도비는 약 40% 정도를 유지했다. 초미세먼지 주의보의 시기에 중성능급 필터가 장착된 환기장치의 풍량을 1단이나 2단으로 운전한 경우에도 외기 대비 실내 초미세먼지 농도는 환기하지 않고 밀폐만 했을 때의 조건과 비슷했다. 환기장치를 구동하지 않고, 문을 닫아둔 조건에서 공기청정기를 가동하면 실내 초미세먼지 농도를 초미세먼지 주의보 시에도 대기 초미세먼지 농도대비 약 20% 수준으로 감소시킬 수 있었지만, 환기장치의 풍량을 증가시켜 가동하면, 상대적으로 환기를 통해 미세먼지를 공급하는 공기량이 증가하여, 공기청정기의 효과가 감소하였고, 실내외 농도비를 약 36%로 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 사무실 내 실내 부유 먼지의 크기분포의 분석 결과 1 ㎛ 보다 큰 입자의 농도는 매우 낮았다. 대기의 입자 크기분포는 1 ㎛ 이하의 입자의 봉우리와 1~10 ㎛ 입자의 봉우리의 두 부분으로 나타나는데 비해, 실내 입자의 크기분포에서는 1~10 ㎛ 입자의 봉우리가 사라지고 1 ㎛ 이하의 입자의 봉우리만 남는 형태로 상대적으로 큰 입자의 농도가 미미했다. 사무실의 밀폐가 초미세먼지 농도의 감소에 효과가 있었지만, 대부분은 1 ㎛ 보다 큰 입자가 제거되었고, 인체에 더 영향을 미치는 1 ㎛ 이하의 입자는 실내로 쉽게 침투하였다. 결국 밀폐된 사무실 실내에서 공기청정기의 사용은 1 ㎛ 이하의 인체에 더 해로운 크기의 입자를 제거하는데 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 단지 80시간의 짧은 시간의 실증 데이터를 분석한 결과이지만, 초미세먼지 주의보가 1년 중 1주일 이내로 발생하는 한정된 기간에 발생한다는 점에서 측정 및 분석 데이터가 중요한 의미를 갖는다고 생각된다. 또한 실내 초미세먼지 농도에 영향을 미치는 다양한 변수들을 고려하여 측정 계획을 작성하여 실증 측정이 이루어졌기 때문에 비교적 신뢰성 있는 분석데이터를 제시할 수 있었다.

In the winter season, when the ventilation system is operating, the fresh cold air from the slot-type openings of broiler house which directly reached the animal zone can cause various problems such as thermal stress, decreasing of feed and water consumption, occurrence of respiratory disease, and etc. Therefore it is very important to control the trajectory of aero-flow from the slot openings to induce an efficient thermal heat change. Jet-drop distance model was proposed to predict and control the jet-trajectory. However their study was restricted due to the small scaled model and difficulties of measuring the Jet-drop distance. In this study, CFD was applied to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the jet-drop distance in a real broiler house. The various variables were considered such as installed slot-angle, designed ventilation rate, and the outdoor ambient temperature. From the present study, two linear-regression models using the Jet-drop factor and corrected Archimedes number, and their R-squared values 0.744 and 0.736, respectively, were used. From this study, the applicability of CFD on the analysis of Jet-drop distance model was confirmed.

Because buildings recently built have been highly insulated and highly airtight, it is impossible to emit toxic substances from interior finishing materials only by natural ventilation. Therefore, they cause indoor air pollution and it may threaten the user"s health such as atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and (allergic) rhinitis. Domestically, users spend indoors 80 percent of their time of a day. With the increased interest in indoor air quality, the introduction of forced ventilation system for new-built apartment buildings has been legislated. However, toxic substances from indoor are mostly below there commended standard approximately 23 months later. Thus, this study has assumed the status of the apartment buildings 23 months later through a simulation, regarded $CO_2$ as an exclusive indoor air pollution source. In the process of effectively eliminating the $CO_2$, this study has also been conducted on an operating plan that can provide superior performance from the energy side.

Recently, global warming has been a serious issue on the worldwide, and the importance of energy conservation is increasing. In most buildings, energy consumption increases due to cooling, heating, and ventilation. Because of these issues, researches have been carried out to reduce building energy. However, in most conventional forced-air system, the guidelines for the Air Handling Unit (AHU) discharge air temperature are not fully established. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of AHU discharge air temperature, which is one of the important control variables, on the overall energy consumption and thermal comfort characteristics by modeling conventional forced-air system using EnergyPlus. In addition, recommendations for energy reduction in conventional AHU is provided.

Background and objective: Moth orchids in the vegetative stage are suitable for a multi-layer growing environment in a closed-type plant factory which can be a good alternative that can reduce production costs by reducing cultivation time and energy cost per plant. This study was conducted to find out the optimal rhizospheric environment for different irrigation methods without a potting medium and rhizospheric ventilation for the vegetative growth of young Phalaenopsis hybrid 'Blanc Rouge' (P. KV600 × P. Kang 1) and Phalaenopsis Queen Beer 'Mantefon' in a closed-type plant factory system. Methods: The one-month-old clonal micropropagules with bare roots rapped with a sponges were fixed on the holes of styrofoam plates above growth beds, and were watered using the ebb-and-flow (EBB) and aeroponic (AER) methods with Ichihashi solution (0.5 strength) once a day at 06:00 (P) or 18:00 (S), and both (PS). Rhizospheric ventilation (V) was also applied to change the temperature, relative humidity, and CO₂ concentration of the beds. Plants potted into sphagnum moss and watered once a week were used as the control group. Results: After 12 months of treatment, the growth characteristics of the EBB groups were the best among the treatment groups without a medium, but no effect of irrigation timing was observed. V reduced the temperature, relative humidity and CO₂ concentration of the beds. Whereas, EBB+V (ebb-and-flow with ventilation) improved plant growth and reduced the occurrence of disorders and withering. Especially, EBB+V showed a similar performance to the control group. Conclusion: The results indicated that the optimal irrigation method without a potting medium for producing middle-aged potted moth orchids was the EBB system with forced rhizospheric ventilation. Therefore, further studies on the optimal ventilation method and moisture control of the crown need to be carried out to develop the irrigation system without a potting medium for vertical farming in closed-type plant factories.

In the present study, a numerical simulation for the diffusion of hydrogen leakage of FCV(Fuel Cell Vehicle) in a tunnel was performed to aid the assessment of risk in case of leakage accident. The temporal and spatial distributions of the hydrogen concentration around FCV are predicted from the present numerical analyses. Flammable region of 4-74% and explosive region of 18-59% hydrogen by volume was identified from the present results. Factors influencing the diffusion of the hydrogen jet were examined to evaluate the effectiveness of tunnel ventilation system for relieving the accumulation of the leaked hydrogen gas. The distribution of the concentration of the leaked hydrogen for various cases can be used as a database in various applications for the hydrogen safety.
