The indoor air quality is one of the most important issues of designing ventilation in high rise apartment buildings. This study suggested proper ventilation rate in the apartment bedroom where mechanical ventilation system has installed. Six university students(four male and two female) were participating in the experiment. Experiments were performed in environmental chamber. Experimental conditions were combinations from three ventilation rate 0, 0.4 and 0.7. Measurement items during 8 hours of experimental time were temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentrations and questionnaire surveyed aftrer sleeping. The concentration of Carbon Dioxide depending on ventilation rate in the chamber was analyzed for proper ventilation rate. The results of this paper can be summarized as follows. (1) When two persons experiment, 0.7 ventilation rate was in excess of 1000ppm. (2) When one person experiment, 0.7 and 0.4 ventilation rates were satisfied the criteria of IAQ. (3) It compared 0.4 with 0.7 in the ventilation rate, 0.4 ventilation rate could reduced about 80% of the power by fan similarity law.

There are many combination with the porosity of tipping paper and plug wrap for a design of ventilation rate of cigarette. This study was carried out to determine the effect of a design of permeability of tipping paper and inner or outer of plug wrap on the ventilation rate of cigarette with constant pressure drop in column part and filter part. Our results indicated that the higher the plugwrap porosity, the higher the ventilation rate and the less variable of cigarette in case of mono filter. But, in case of duel filter, the ventilation rate of cigarette was depended on the manufacturing method of filter plug, even though using the same porous plug wrap on inner and outer of filter. We also found that the porosity of outer plug wrap was more effect on the ventilation rate than the porosity of inner plug wrap. As the high porosity of inner plug wrap compared with the porosity of outer plug wrap, the less variable of ventilation rate of cigarette in any combination of the porosity of plug wrap. When we used the higher porous outer plug wrap than inner plug wrap, the ventilation rate of cigarette was high. Also, the higher the inner plug wrap porosity, the less variable of ventilation rate of cigarette.

본 연구에서는 도로터널의 횡류환기 및 반횡류환기 방식의 설계 방안을 도출할 목적으로 수치해석적인 방법에 의해서 환기특성을 고찰하고 소요환기량과 환기 시스템 용량의 관계를 검토하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 급 배기 횡류환기방식에서 환기시스템의 급 배기풍량은 이론적으로 소요환기량과 자연환기량의 차가 되나, 해석결과에 의하면 환기시스템 용량은 소요환기량과 자연환기량의 차보다 약 10%정도 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 제트팬을 설치하여 종방향 풍속을 증가시키는 경우, 환기시스템의 급배기 풍량은 감소하나, 터널풍속이 증가할 수록 터널 내 농도가 감소하기 때문에 오염물질에 대한 배기효과가 감소하여, 횡류 환기시스템의 용량 감소효과는 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 급기만 하는 반횡류식에서는 터널입구 풍향이 차량진행방향과 반대인 경우에는 환기시스템의 급기풍량은 소요환기량과 동일하나, 해석결과에서는 약 13.3% 이내의 범위에서 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 터널입구 풍속이 음수인 상태에서는 제트팬 댓수를 증가하여 도 환기효과는 기대할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

Indoor air quality can be affected by indoor sources, ventilation, decay and outdoor levels. Although technologies exist to measure these factors, direct measurements are often difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop an alternative method to characterize indoor environmental factors by multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Using a mass balance model and regression analysis, penetration factor (ventilation rate divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) and source strength factor (source strength divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) were calculated using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Subsequently, the ventilation rate and $NO_2$ generation rate were estimated. Mean of ventilation rate was 1.41 ACH in houses, assuming a residential N02 deposition constant of 0.94 $hr^{-1}$. Mean generation rate of $NO_2$ was 16.5 ppbv/hr. According to house characterization, inside smoking and family number were higher $NO_2$ generation rates, and apartment was higher than single-family house. In conclusion, indoor environmental factors were effectively characterized by this method using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements.

Current wind-resistance designs of large-scale indirect dry cooling towers (IDCTs) exclude an important factor: the influence of the ventilation rate for radiator shutter on wind loads on the outer surfaces of the tower shell. More seemingly overlooked aspects are the effects of various ventilation rates on the wind pressure distribution on the tower surfaces of two IDCTs, and the feature of the flow field around them. In order to investigate the effects of the radiator shutter ventilation rates on the aerodynamic interference between IDCTs, this paper established the numerical wind tunnel model based on the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) technology, and analyzed the influences of various radiator shutter ventilation rates on the aerodynamic loads acting upon a single and two extra-large IDCTs during building, installation, and operation stages. Through the comparison with the results of physical wind tunnel test and different design codes, the results indicated that: the influence of the ventilation rate on the flow field and shape coefficients on the outer surface of a single IDCT is weak, and the curve of mean shape coefficients is close to the reference curve provided by the current design code. In a two-tower combination, the ventilation rate significantly affects the downwind surface of the front tower and the upwind surface of the back tower, and the larger positive pressure shifts down along the upwind surface of the back tower as the ventilation rate increases. The ventilation rate significantly influences the drag force coefficient of the back tower in a two-tower combination, the drag force coefficient increases with the ventilation rate and reaches the maximum in a building status of full ventilation, and the maximum drag coefficient is 11% greater than that with complete closure.

This paper compared ventilation performance between the sound roof tunnel with flat roof and the sound roof tunnel with gable roof. The ventilation rate of the sound roof tunnel is calculated by natural ventilation rate plus ventilation by vehicle. The roof type is divided by the shape of the roof and the ventilator location on the roof. The results between calculation and CFD on the ventilation rate are almost alike. The ventilation rate on the flat roof is $558.4\;m^3/s$ with mid-ventilator and $496.8\;m^3/s$ with left-right ventilator. The ventilation rate on the gable roof is $653.2\;m^3/s$ with mid-ventilator and $611.6\;m^3/s$ with left-right ventilator. The ventilation rate of soundproof with gable roof is higher than that with flat roof. The ventilation rate and with mid-ventilator is higher than that with left-right ventilator the soundproof roof. Therefore, the ventilation performance of soundproof roof depends on the roof shape and ventilator location on the roof.

Objectives: The principal aim of this study was to compare the concentrations of gaseous pollutants emitted in enclosed pig buildings between different rates of general ventilation and determine the variations in the patterns of gaseous pollutants as affected by ventilation rate. Materials and Methods: The experiment was performed in the growing/finishing room($20.0m{\times}12.0m{\times}3.0m$) of a pig confinement building located on the experimental farm of Seoul National University. The conditions of the general ventilation rate for three treatments were 30%($4.12m^3s^{-1}$), 50%($6.87m^3s^{-1}$) and 70%($9.61m^3s^{-1}$). The data presented in the study were collected overa total of 45 days, 15 days for each of the three treatments from March to May 2011. A total of six air samplings were taken at 1.5m above the floor of the pig building. The environmental agents measured in the pig building were ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and odor concentration index for gaseous pollutants with temperature and hydrogen sulfide for thermal factors. Results: There were significant differences in the ammonia and odor concentration index in the pig building among the three general ventilation rate conditions(p<0.05), whereas hydrogen sulfide did not show a significant difference among three conditions of general ventilation rate(p>0.05). As the general ventilation rate applied to the pig building increases, it appears that all the indoor environmental agents measured in this study simultaneously decrease. Conclusions: The gaseous pollutants significantly affected by the general ventilation rate in pig building were ammonia and odor concentration index(p<0.05). However, it was found that hydrogen sulfide and thermal factors, temperature and relative humidity were not influenced significantly by variation in the general ventilation rate.

As a series of studies about natural ventilation driven by wind in basement parking lots of apartment, the influence of opening size and surrounding buildings on ventilation rate was analyzed. Natural ventilation in underground parking lots almost rely on wind than temperature difference. To investigate natural ventilation driven by wind, wind tunnel tests by using scale model and tracer gas method were conducted. $CO_2$-gas concentration was measured, natural ventilation rates were calculated. The experimental results showed that the natural ventilation rate is more reliable to wind direction and surrounding building than opening size and distance between buildings. It was verified that surrounding buildings play a principal role in increasing air flow rate by accelerating wind speed, and growing turbulence intensity. And it showed that ventilation performance is able to be increased by oblique wind to entrance ramp than head on wind in underground parking lots with surrounding buildings.
