Abstract |
Recently, IAQ(Indoor Air Quality) is regarded as one of the most important environmental factors as well as thermal and acoustic comfort. The purpose of this study was to estimate reduction performance of indoor VOCs level according to apply environmentally friendly materials, So, we performed the mock-up room test to investigate the VOCs and HCHO emission concentration involving six kinds of the building materials which divided into general and friendly environmental materials. As the results, we knew that the environmentally friendly materials showed remarkably lower VOCs emissions levels than general materials and furniture, kitchen cabinet and wooden flooring will have a large effect on reducing VOCs concentration in a living room. |
