  • 실내공기질의 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물(VOCs)에 의한 실내공기의 오염은 매우 심각한 환경문제가 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 철도차량 객실용 시트커버와 바닥재를 대상으로 청정한 챔버 안에 넣고, 고정 환기 조건에서 VOCs 방출특성을 조사하였다. 챔버는 온도 $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 $50{\pm}5%$를 유지하면서 방출량을 조사하였다. 실험결과 바닥재가 시트커버보다 많이 양의 VOCs를 방출하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 바닥재가 PVC 재질이기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 방출량은 시간에 따라 점차 감소하였다.내장재에서 방출되는 VOCs는 객실 승객의 건강을 위협할 수 있으므로, VOCs를 덜 방출하는 내장재가 사용되어야 한다.

  • Newly constructed multi-residential buildings with more than 500 households should be flushed out indoor contaminants using a mechanical ventilation system or large fans after the completion of construction and prior to occupancy by the Heath-friendly Housing Construction Standards since 2014. In addition, the standard recommends to maintain indoor temperature over $16^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity below 60% while performing the flush-out. However, it is difficult to maintain these recommended indoor conditions, especially during winter season because additional energy cost is needed for space heating. Therefore, in this study, additional energy cost including heating and ventilation energy cost in multi-residential household for flush-out during winter season was estimated using building energy simulation program called EnergyPlus. Additional energy cost according to various conditions for performing flush-out (such as performance period, ventilation rate, and heating set-point temperature) was analyzed. Based on the results of the energy simulation, the energy cost was estimated to be ranged from 14,625 to 29,452\/household in Incheon city and from 3,521 to 26,268\/household in Gwangju City. There was no significant change in energy cost according to the performing terms of flush-out between Incheon and Gwangju City.

  • 국내 시설 농업의 99.2%를 차지하는 플라스틱온실의 내부 환경인자는 외부 환경의 변화에 민감하게 반응하고 온실 공간 내부에서 편차가 발생한다. 온도, 습도, CO2, 광도의 환경인자를 계측하기 위한 지점을 3 × 3 × 5로 구성하여 데이터를 취득하고 내부 공간을 수직, 수평적인 측면으로 분할하여 환경 인자의 분포를 확인하였다. 계측지점의 최적점을 선정하고자 계측 공간을 수직, 수평적인 방향으로 분할하고, 측정 데이터와 이를 활용한 예측지점의 선형회귀분석 결과로 성능평가를 실시하였다. 일반적인 상황에서는 온도와 습도 인자의 경우 1개의 센서로 플라스틱온실 내부 환경의 계측이 가능할 수 있으나, 특정구간의 경우 다수의 센서를 활용하여 내부공간의 정밀성을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. CO2의 경우 실험기간 내의 계측 매트릭스의 증가에도 불구하고 변이를 정의하는데 한계가 있음을 발견하였다. 조도 분포의 경우 일출 이후 지속적으로 회귀분석 결과가 작아짐을 발견하였다. 구조물의 간섭 등을 고려해 동일한 수평적인 방향에서 미계측 지점의 결정계수가 감소하였고, 센서 매트릭스 배치를 작물 높이 위로 위치하여 다수의 센서 노드 설치로 개선 가능하다고 예상된다. 외부 환경의 변화에 따라 온실 내부 환경이 불규칙하게 변화되며, 이 구간은 시설의 규격을 고려하여 계측 매트릭스를 구성해야 한다. 반대로 안정적인 구간에서는 최소한의 센서 노드로 내부 환경의 예측이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 측정하고자 하는 환경인자와 시설의 구조 등 연구 및 재배자의 목적에 맞는 계측 매트릭스 위치 선정의 유동성이 요구되며, 덕트의 개폐위치를 조절하여 필요한 곳에 에너지를 투입하는 국소냉난방 및 생육제어 모델링 설계에 적용 가능하다고 판단된다.

  • Objectives: This study developed an index for the indoor air quality management of city buses to allow the provision of indoor air quality information to city bus users. Methods: Nine city buses in Seoul were measured for PM10, PM2.5, CO2, temperature, and relative humidity through IoT sensors. Big data collected through the sensors was analyzed to identify indoor air quality on city buses and graded through the index. Results: As a result of dividing the measured city bus data into five grades through the IAQ index, PM10 was rated "good" for 30.4% of the total measured values, and 9.2% were rated "risky". For PM2.5, 67.7 percent were rated "good" and 0.4 percent were rated "risky". For CO2, 0.9% were 'good' and 1.1% were 'risky'. The results of the classification through the IAQ index for city buses showed that the impact of good, normal, sensitive, bad, and dangerous were 2.7, 38.8, 46.0, 12.4, and 0.1%, respectively. According to the analysis by measurement area, Seocho-gu, Gangnam-gu, Seongdong-gu, Gwangjin-gu, and Dobong-gu are "normal" and other areas (Seodaemoon-gu, Jongno-gu, Yongsan-gu, Jung-gu, Seongbuk-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, Junggye-gu, Gangbuk-gu, and Nowon-gu) are all rated "sensitive". Conclusions: When analyzing cases where PM10 and CO2 indices are in the "bad" zone, the concentration is generally found to increase during rush hour, during which there are a large number of passengers. It is expected that indoor air quality management in vehicles will be necessary during rush hour.

  • 2019년 3월 미세먼지 비상저감조치가 일주일 동안 발령되면서, 미세먼지로 인한 국민의 불안감은 점차 가중되고 있다. 본 연구는 공기정화식물이 적용된 바이오필터의 다중이용시설 내 적용성 평가를 위해 입자상 오염원의 실내 연속방출환경을 조성하여 오염원 저감효과에 대한 측정방법을 제안하고, 시스템의 실내공기질 개선 여부를 확인할 수 있는 기초연구를 진행하였다. 강의실을 대상으로 춘절기에 모니터링 1시간 전 모기향을 오염원으로 배경농도를 조성한 후, 스케줄에 따라 2시간 관수, 1시간 송풍하여 미세먼지의 저감능을 확인하였으며, 바이오필터 2m 전방에 PM10, PM2.5 및 온습도 센서를 설치하고, 3개 송풍구 중 중앙에 풍속 프로브를 설치하여 시계열 모니터링을 수행하였다. 바이오필터에 구비된 총 3개소의 송풍구 평균 면풍속은 0.38±0.16 m/s로 댐퍼 면적이 제외된 송풍구별 면적 0.29m×0.65m을 적용한 총 공조풍량이 776.89±320.16㎥/h로 산출되었다. 시스템 가동으로 평균온도 21.5~22.3℃, 평균상대습도 63.79~73.6%를 유지하여, 선행연구의 다양한 조건별 온습도 범위에 부합하는 것으로 판단된다. 시스템 공조부 구동을 통해 급격하게 상대습도를 상승시키는 효과를 효율적으로 운용할 경우, 계절에 따른 실내 미세먼지 저감과 적정한 상대습도 확보도 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 미세먼지 농도는 바이오필터 시스템 가동 전의 모든 주기에서 상승 현상이 동일하게 집계되었으며, 시스템 가동 후 1주기 송풍구간(B-1, β=-3.83, β=-2.45)에서 미세먼지(PM10)는 최대 28.8% 수준인 560.3㎍/㎥, 초미세 먼지(PM2.5)는 최대 28.0% 수준인 350.0㎍/㎥까지 저감되었다. 이후 미세먼지(PM10, PM2.5)의 농도는 2주기 송풍구간 감소(B-2, β=-5.50, β=-3.30)로 각각 최대 32.6% 수준인 647.0㎍/㎥, 32.4% 수준인 401.3㎍/㎥까지 저감되었고, 3주기 송풍구간감소(B-3, β=5.48, β=-3.51)로 최대 30.8% 수준인 732.7㎍/㎥, 31.0% 수준인 459.3㎍/㎥까지 저감된 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 식생 바이오필터의 다중이용시설 내 설치와 유관한 관련 표준 및 규정을 참조하여, 객관적인 성능평가환경의 구축 방안을 제시할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 일반 강의실 환경 내에 보다 객관화된 모니터링 인프라를 조성하여, 상대적으로 신뢰성 있는 데이터 확보가 가능했던 것으로 판단된다.

  • The effect of continuous humidifier use on the bioaerosol concentration in an indoor environment was investigated. An ultrasonic humidifier was operated for 10 hr per day for 15 days in an apartment room. During this time period, viable bioaerosol samples were taken using a single-stage Andersen sampler containing culture media plates for bacteria and fungi. The culture plates were then incubated at room temperature for 2~7 days depending on the media. The counts for the air sample plates were corrected for multiple impactions using the positive hole conversion method and are reported as the colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFU/$m^3$). While the bacterial concentration measured using the tryptic soy agar (TSA) did not show any significant change during the first 3 days, the concentration increased from the $6^{th}$ day (6979 CFU/$m^3$) and reached a maximum on the $9^{th}$ day (46431 CFU/$m^3$). The concentration then decreased to 2470 CFU/$m^3$ on the $12^{th}$ day, at which point the fungal concentration increased rapidly to 14424~16038 CFU/$m^3$. Also, while the fungal concentration showed a significant change until the $9^{th}$ day of humidifier use, fungal growth was observed on the wallpaper and increased rapidly from the $12^{th}$ day. However, the bacterial concentration increased rapidly after the fungi were removed by remediation. The major fungal species identified in the samples were Penicillium representing 34%, Aspergillus representing 31%, Cladosporium representing 24%, and Alternaria representing 1%. The results also indicated that a relative humidity over 80% was easily achieved with continuous humidifier use. Yet, maintaining a high humidity in a room can cause a rapid outbreak of microbial growth.
