This study was conducted to prepare a plan for the controlling indoor microclimate environment using natural ventilation for the single-span plastic greenhouses, which account for about 83.8% of the total area of horticultural greenhouses in South Korea. The changes of indoor air temperature and relative humidity according to the side opening height were experimentally compared and analyzed in the experimental greenhouse. As the side opening height was changed to 30, 70, and 110cm, the indoor and outdoor temperature differences were found to be 14.0, 10.1, and 7.7℃, respectively. The indoor and outdoor relative humidity differences were found to be -15.7, -12.5, and -11.1%, respectively. These results were verified for statistical significance by ANOVA. When the variable breadth of the outdoor temperature was 6.9℃, the indoor temperature breadths were 14.5, 12.3, and 9.0℃, and when the outdoor relative humidity breadth was 24%, the indoor relative humidity breadths were 31.2, 28.0, and 23.8%, respectively. It was analyzed that as the side opening height is increased, the indoor temperature and relative humidity become similar to the outdoor environment. This is because the air is mixed by active indoor-outdoor air movement of greenhouses with natural ventilation. The results indicated that the proper opening and closing of side openings is necessary for the stable indoor microclimate environment control of plastic greenhouses.

The levels of Indoor radon can increase in newly built apartments that mainly use construction materials such as concrete. However, radon measurement in newly built buildings has only been implemented recently, and there is a lack of sufficient data for radon management purposes. This study aimed to determine the levels of indoor radon in newly built apartments by regions, sizes of household, and floor (lower, middle, upper floor), and to explore the trend of radon reduction by time according to ventilation methods. Indoor radon was measured in 48 households in four regions (Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do). Measurements were performed for 48 hours and 24 hours under closed and ventilated conditions using real-time measurement devices FRD400 and RAD7, respectively. To analyze changes in radon concentration by floors, data were collected by dividing households into lower, middle, and upper floors according to their vertical height. The concentrations of indoor radon ranged from 12.1 Bq/m3 to 559.0 Bq/m3 when windows were closed and 12.0 Bq/m3~500.0 Bq/m3 when ventilated (including both mechanical and natural ventilation). On average, the concentration of closed conditions of household when sealed (arithmetic average 185.3 Bq/m3) was 1.5 times higher than the concentration during ventilation (including mechanical and natural ventilation: 123.8 Bq/m3), and around three times higher than the average for mechanical ventilation (65.7 Bq/m3). It was found that the indoor radon concentration statistically increased as the height increased and the size of the house became smaller. Typically, it took 7 to 8 hours to exceed the standard of 148 Bq/m3 after windows were closed. It decreased to less than 148 Bq/m3 within 3 to 4 hours after operating the mechanical ventilation system. However, in the case of natural ventilation, it takes more than 24 hours to reach below the standard value, and the concentrations stagnated after 24 hours. In conclusion, radon concentration in narrow spaces can be relatively high if ventilation is not sufficient due to the nature of apartments with wall-type structures. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various radon reduction measures according to floor, size, and ventilation methods.

In this study, the humidity control effect of a counter-flow ventilator was analyzed in a greenhouse with high relative humidity at night in the winter season. A case of the counter-flow ventilator was 0.96 × 0.65× 0.82(W× D × H, m) and there were heat transfer element and two fans for air supply and exhaust in the counter-flow ventilator. Two counter-flow ventilators were used in this study and the setting humidity of the ventilators was 80%. The temperature and relative humidity at night(18:00-8:00) in the greenhouse were measured. In a greenhouse without a counter-flow ventilator, the average temperature and humidity was 14.9°C, 82.8%, respectively. When the counter-flow ventilator was operated, the corresponding averages were 15.1°C, 79.9%. The independent sample t test of monthly temperature and relative humidity showed no difference in temperature, and a significant difference in relative humidity with 1% of the significance level. Therefore, using the counter-flow ventilator helps to control relative humidity in greenhouse and increase yield.. And further research considering the pros and cons of using the counter-flow ventilator is needed.

Culex pipiens complex larvae were found at the septic tanks in Susan and Ulsan cities located in South-eastern area of Korean peninsula. The larvae were collected in 25, 35 and 75 septic tanks out of 3,527, 622 and 1,111 septic tanks which the breeding rates were averages of 0.7%, 5.6% and 6.8% in Susan from January to May, 2003, Susan from February to March, 2004, and Ulsan from January to April, 2005, respectively. The average numbers of the mosquitoes in the tanks were 38.8, 14.9 and 13.7 larvae/dip with a 355-㎖ dipper. The larval densities were from 25.4 larvae/dip in January to 43.7 larvae/dip in April. 2003 which were not significantly different between them. It was the first report to find mosquito breeding at septic tanks in Republic of Korea. Culex pipiens larvae were found in 6 out of 379 septic tanks at complex buildings (over 2,000㎡ in size) in Ulsan from June to September, 2005, having an average of 1.6% for mosquito breeding rate. The mosquito larvae were collected in 8 and 530 septic tanks out of 210 and 3,729 septic tanks at large (over 300 homes) and small apartments (below 300 homes) with 3.8% and 14.2% of the average breeding rates, respectively. At the septic tanks of private houses for below 50 persons, 708 out of 7,178 septic tanks had Cx. pipiens larvae and pupae with 9.9% of the average breeding rate. Total average of the mosquito breeding rate was 10.9% of the investigated septic tanks of residential buildings in Ulsan. The number of mosquito larvae in the septic tanks were 15 to 75 larvae/dip. The bent net sets of septic tanks prevented from mosquito breeding to the rate of 93.1 %.

본 연구에서는 양봉사 내부환경을 보다 효율적으로 조절할 수 있는 환기팬 작동방식을 구명하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 환기팬 작동방식에 대한 연 구결과를 양봉사에 직접 적용하여 실험을 실시하였으며, 양봉사 내부의 온도 및 습도변화에 대한 시율레이션과 실험결과를 비교 · 분석하여 양봉사 설계시 양봉사 열환경 해석 프로그램의 적용성을 검토하고, 실험결과를 이용하여 환기팬 작동방식별 양봉사 내부환경의 조절 성능을 분석하였다. 기 개발된 양봉사 열환경 해석 프로그램은 앞으로 양봉사 설계에 적절하게 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 외부기온이 비슷한 조건에서는 환기팬 작동방식 B의 경우가 A의 경우보다 양봉사의 내부온도가 대체로 더 낮았으며, 평균적으로 벌통 내부는 2.8℃, 양봉사 내부는 2.1℃ 더 낮았다. 이것은 Lee 등(1998b)이 제시한 환기팬 작동방식에 따라 양봉사 내부의 승온억제를 최고 2.8℃까지 할 수 있다는 내용을 뒷받침하는 실험결과이다. 환기팬 작동방식 A와 B 모두 꿀벌이 월동하기에 적합한 상대습도 범위 (50~75%) 였으나, 방식 B가 A 보다 양봉사 내부 습도의 최고 및 최저편차가 약 2%, 평균습도가 약 5% 적게 나타나 습도환경조절에 있어 좀 더 안정적인 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 환기팬 작동방식 B는 A 에 비하여 양봉사 내부환경조절 성능이 더욱 우수하고 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 여름 같은 고온기나 외부온도가 높지 않아도 시설내 온도가 많이 상승하는 봄 .가을 같은 시기에 온실내 고온 공기를 외부로 신속하게 유출시켜 강제환기를 사용하지 않고도 온실내부의 환경을 조절 할 수 있는 새로운 자연 환기창을 개발하는데 목적을 두고 수행하였다 패널굴절방식 측창은 지면에 가까운 쪽의 패널 하부에 절점을 두고 패널 상부가 측고 부위로부터 가이드 레일을 따라 하향하도록 구성하여 창이 개방되게 하였고, 천창은 측고 부위에 절점을 두고 용마루 쪽의 패널 상부가 가이드 레일을 따라 경사진 지붕면을 따라 하향하도록 구성하여 고온 공기층이 정체되어 있는 온실 상부인 측고 부위와 용마루 부위가 개방되도록 하였다. 굴절 패널의 상부 개방거리는 X=L(1-cosθ)로 나타낼 수 있고 측면 개방 거리는 Y=L/2×sinθ로 나타낼 수 있다. 천창 개방시간은 4분 20초 소요되었으며 개방 시작한 2분 후부터 온도가 하강하기 시작하였고, 완전 개방 2분 후부터는 외기온과의 온도차 3~4℃정도를 유지하면서 평형상태를 유지하였다. 패널굴절방식 환기창 온실의 환기성능은 체적환기량이 22.3-94.3m3.m-2 .h-1이었으며, 환기 횟수는 15.2~39.3회.h-1로 나타나 일반적인 연속형 천창의 10~15회.h-1 정도에 비해 환기효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 벤로형 온실과의 천창개폐시 온도하강을 비교하였을 때 환기효과가 2배 이상 높은 것으로 판단되었다.

포그냉방시스템의 냉방효과는 온실 내부의 상대습도, 공기유동과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 냉방설계용 VETH선도에서 냉발효율은 환기회수의 증가와 그에 상응하는 분무수량의 증가로 인하여 개선될 수 있다. 시간제어방식을 이용한 무차광 실험온실에서 분당 환기회수가 평균 0.77회, 분무수량이 2,009g 일 때 온실 내부의 기온이 31℃로 외부기온과 거의 같게 나타났으며, 이 때의 증발효율은 82%이다. 분당 환기회수가 평균 0.26회, 분무수량이 1.256g인 경우 무냉방 온실의 기온과 비슷한 37.1℃였다. 차광율 70%인 실험온실의 분당 환기환수가 평균 2.59회, 분무수량이 2,009g 일 때, 내부의 상대습도는 증가하나 기온은 하강하지 못했다. 그러나 분당 환기회수가 평균 2.33회, 분무수량이 2,009g인 경우 내부의 기온이 31.4℃로 이 때 온실의 유입구 풍속은 최고 1.9m.s-1였다. 시간제어의 경우 일정간격으로 일정한 수량을 분무하기 때문에 분무입자가 모두 증발하지 못하고 온실 내부에 누적되어 온실 내부의 상대습도를 증가시켜 냉방효율을 감소 시키는 원인이 되고 차광망이 온실내부의 공기흐름을 차단하여 증발효율을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 포그냉방시스템의 냉방효율을 높이기 위해서는 온실 내부의 상대습도에 의한 제어방식과 내부 공기의 순환에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

본 실험에 앞서, 하우스 4개동에 대한 대칭성 실험을 실시하였으나, 각 하우스간에는 최대1℃이내의 작은 온도차만이 계측되었다. 하우스 개폐장치 조작 불능시를 가정하여 천.측창을 인위적으로 폐쇄한 경우, 하우스 내 온도는 외 기온보다 약 16℃ 높은, 즉 사실상 작물이 생육 할 수 없는 고온상태를 나타내었다. 천.측창을 개방한 상태에서는 환기팬을 추가로 가동시키더라도 이에 따른 추가적인 실온저하는 관찰되지 않았다. 비교적 분무 입경이 큰 스프링클러에 의한 환수시의 냉각효과를 검토한 결과, 하우스 내 온도는 스프링클러 작동과 동시에 급속히 하강함으로서, 관수는 하우스 실온저하에 크게 기여하고 있음이 확인되었다. 스프링클러 관수시와 비관수시로 구분하여 하우스 내 열환경을 비교한 결과, 관수시와 비관수시 모두 하우스의 천.측창을 개방하여 외기를 도입한 경우가 하우스 실온 저하에 효과적으로 작용한 것으로 조사되었다. 하우스 내 작물 체감온도에 근사한 온도지표인 실내 흑구온도는 비관수시의 경우 실내 공기온도보다 현저히 놀게 나타났으나, 관수시의 온도는 실내 공기온도에 근접한 온도를 나타내었다. 비관수시 천.측창을 개방한 경우 하우스 내 온도분포는 연직방향, 수평방향 모두 1℃ 정도의 극히 작은 온도차만이 계측됨으로서, 하우스 내는 극히 균일한 온도를 유지하고 있음이 확인되었다

Urban green spaces can mitigate negative impacts of urban heat island effect by creating cooling buffer zones. These cooling areas improve micro-climatic conditions and human health. Green space is important to reducing urban air temperature maxima and variation. Thus, there is an expectation that small green spaces (SGs) provide high cooling effects and thus make air temperatures drop. Meanwhile, such an effect in urban areas has been under-explored and needs more detailed spatial and temporal data. The purpose of the study was to develop a measurement method to detect temperature of various SGs with TVC and find the effect of TVC on accuracy of measured air temperature data in comparison with other non ventilation devices. We updated the cad file of the study site through comparing it with Google Map and conducting field surveys on the site. Transect survey was required to build a measurement route. We toured the study site by walk repeatedly to get the optimistic route which would have enough data points. One of considered routes which were inside of the forest and could make us get significantly influencing data was not founded for no trails so excluded in our study. After the field survey, we observed the study routes through a digital camcorder (Gopro) and recorded them on the cad file of the site because these data points should include air temperature and time data in their attribute table. As for transect survey, a researcher walked through the defined routes and collected air temperature data with two TVCs every second and two Testo loggers covered by aluminum foil every minute at the height of 1.5m from the ground. Stationary survey was conducted with two TVCs in every second data collection and two Testo loggers covered by aluminum foil in every minute data collection on the resting area at the entrance of the site. One of TVCs and one of Testo loggers were set at the height of 0.5m while the others of TVCs and Testo loggers were at the height of 1.5m. On the stationary point, other microclimate variables such as wind velocity, wind direction and solar irradiance were also measured and recorded every minute. We repeated the measurement for one day or two days a month (November, 2016 ~ May, 2017) and four times a day. The measuring days were selected when they were clean and calm. As a result, air temperature from TVCs was entirely lower than that from Testo loggers on the stationary survey. This trend was shown during the day rather than after sunset. The difference of air temperature from between TVCs and Testo loggers ranged from 2 ℃ after sunset to 5 ℃ at 16h. At the height of 0.5m, a Testo logger's data showed much higher than a TVC's data. These results show that Testo loggers tend to be easily influenced by the change of solar radiation. Moreover, there was the ventilation effect at the stationary. So no ventilation could be the main reason why Testo loggers' data were high. However, TVCs' lower temperature explains how effectively these devices block the solar radiation and ventilate air inside the cylinder.
