Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people tended to spend more time indoors than ever before by making the most of non-face-to-face interactions, remote learning, or working from home. This shift emphasized the need for better ways of defining evaluation criteria for indoor air quality under G-SEED while improving the quality of life for its residents. Under this backdrop, the performance of general houses and apartments, especially in terms of air quality management were examined and compared by analyzing the scores received on the evaluation items for indoor air quality from 30 residential buildings; an application for G-SEED certification from version 2016 to 2016-4 was filed. The results showed that in both general houses and apartments, products that emitted fewer indoor air quality pollutants were applied to more than 70% of the total area. When it came to ventilation performance, general houses were found to rely mostly on openable windows to achieve the desired ventilation performance, while apartments received good marks mainly due to mechanical ventilation systems. This clearly demonstrated that although general houses and apartments are all residential buildings, they differ in terms of licensing processes, business plan approval, the number of households residing, and scale. This may lead to a stark contrast in how they are scored in terms of ventilation performance. This study aims to propose useful guidelines for construction materials and ventilation performance under G-SEED that reflect the characteristics of general houses and apartments while enhancing the validity of the evaluation items for indoor air quality. From a practical standpoint, all of these tools will serve as a means to improve the health of all residents.
