The purpose of this study is to investigate an airtightness of typical Korean detached houses with field measurements. Air leakage testings by means of blower door test in accordance with ASTM E79-8 were measured in 22 detached dwellings in Daejeon and Geumsan. The results showed that detached dwellings have an average airtightness with ACH50/20 (air chang per hour at a pressure difference of 50 Pa between inside outside) of 0.82 $hr^{-1}$ which is a higher range than for typical apartments and leakage class G by normalized leakage area of ASHRAE.

Since the design Standard for Energy Conservation in Building was implemented in 2008 for the first time, building elements such as window and door should satisfy the minimum criteria to apply for a building. Though its regulation does not cover the whole building yet, recent demand to reduce energy consumption in building sector grows rapidly year by year and also draws a lot of interest to ensure the whole building level. For example, a Zero energy building, one of low-energy buildings, requires a customized solution to resolve the air leakage issue to meet the standards in achieving the high level of air tightness. In this study, six non-residential buildings were tested by fan pressurization method to observe the air tightness of whole building to suggest the construction guideline for air tightness of low-energy building. Five out of six tested buildings showed 0.27 to 1.16 h^-1 of number of air changes except one community center. These buildings were carefully constructed not only for building planning but also for parts where there was a concern of air leakage, thereby securing high levels of air-tightness. The construction skills were developed as a checklist to manage and supervise the construction site. It is our suggestion to use this checklist at construction sites for ZEB with the high level of air-tightness.

Even though a study of airtightness performance of apartment and detached house have been done constantly, there are few of studies of multi-family housing which increasing every year. Therefore, this study analyzed airtightness performance of 20 households of one room in Daejeon to investigate airtightness performance standard. All experiments were performed under the same conditions except sealing windows to investigate airtightness performance without sealing windows (natural condition) and airtightness performance with sealing windows of studio apartment. As results, (1) average ACH50 without sealing windows was 19.2/h for pressurization, and 12.8/h for depressurization and (2) average ACH50 with sealing windows was 16.0/h for pressurization, and 10.7/h for depressurization and ACH50 in both condition, ACH50 under pressurization was about 50% higher than that under depressurization. Throughout this experiment, we can figure out that about 16% of air infiltration rate is occurred in windows, and the other 84% is occurred in rest of places such as Junction structure, socket and ventilating opening.

본 연구에서는 창문형 자연환기장치가 설치된 7개 세대의 소형공동주택($33m^2{\sim}51m^2$)을 대상으로 Blower Door를 이용한 현장 기밀성능 및 공기유동 성능을 측정하였다. 창문형 자연환기장치는 외기에 면하는 모든 창호 및 거실분합문에 설치되어 있으며, 수동 개폐형 장치가 설치되어있다. 본 연구에서는 자연환기장치와 창호의 개폐여부에 따라서 6개의 CASE를 설정하여 실측하였다. 측정결과, 자연환기장치와 모든 개구부를 밀폐한 상태의 기밀성능 값(CASE1)은 1.77~3.12ACH로 평균 2.27ACH로 나타났으며, 문헌조사 결과 자연환기장치가 설치되지 않은 일반 공동주택(1.65~4.28ACH)과 유사하게 나타났다. 내외측의 자연환기장치를 모두 열었을 때의 공기유동성능 값(CASE6)은 평균 5.87ACH로 나타나 밀폐조건과 비교하여 평균 3.6ACH가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 외측 환기장치와 창호를 밀폐한 조건에서 내측 환기장치만 개방시와 내측창을 개방시의 공기유동성능값의 차이는 평균 0.29ACH로 내측창호 개방시의 기밀성능 값이 높게 나타났다. 반대로 내측 환기장치와 창호를 밀폐한 조건에서 외측 환기장치만 개방시와 외측창 개방시의 차이는 평균 0.30ACH로 외측창호 개방시가 높게 나타났다. 내측창호만의 공기유동성능과 외측창호만의 공기유동성능 측정값의 차이는 0.77ACH로 내측창호가 더 우수하게 나타났다. 향후에는 자연환기장치와 창호 및 새시의 종류에 따른 기밀성능의 추가 측정을 통해 정량적 상관관계 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
