This study was designed to verify what effect the use of a natural ventilation system can have on improving indoor air quality with regard to radon in various concentration ranges in an apartment house. The results show that both high (2~3 times higher than 148 m3) and low (similar to 148 Bq/m3) levels of indoor radon concentrations can be reduced close to and/or below the Korean IAQ guideline within 6 hours when the natural ventilation system is operated at approximately an air change rate of 0.5. In the case of an air change rate of 0.3, however, the indoor radon levels cannot meet the national guidelines and the reduction effect was insufficient with regard to various radon concentrations. Typically, the air change rate of a natural ventilation system is affected by meteorological factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, pressure. Its effectiveness varies according to such factors, for that reason, the reduction effects on radon did not increase proportionally with the ventilation time in this study.

Recently, the air pollution have bad effects on the indoor environment. Many buildings around the world use natural ventilation. to remove the air pallutant. But, nowadays, ventilation requirements can be demanding, as modern systems require greatly improved reliability and control. The fan and the duct are used to remove air mechanically from the space. Until now, apartment houses have been relying on the duct supply system ventilation rather than other system ventilations. Therefore, the establishment of a prediction method based on optimal ventilation energy consumption using duct supply system and ductless is the ultimate goal of this study. As a result, this study found that the characteristics of duct and ductless supply system ventilation are dependent to each exhaust system. Consequently, the local supply indices of the duct supply system is definitely superior about 24.6% ~ 26.4 % than those of ductless supply system. However, the duct supply system has greater pressure drop in ventilation area than ductless, and duct system needs a lot of ventilation energy. In this study, The ductless supply system has advantage over the duct system about 14.8 % as duct exhaust system and 20.0% as ductless exhaust system in terms of modified local supply indices.

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.
