| Abstract |
According to living style in Korea changes, having a dress room in an apartment house become more common these days. In Korea, the dress room is often located next to the bathroom, which occurs highest risk of humidity increase and condensation. However, the design requirements for the reducing condensation risk at the dress room have been considering as the same standard as other living spaces, which makes the dress room space difficult to prevent condensation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the condensation occurrence environment of the dress room and to evaluate the methods of reducing the condensation risk. According to result of this study, diminishing condensation of dress room with applying insulation or heating method was inappropriate due to excessive design. Controversy, ventilation, and dehumidification method were successful for reducing condensation risk. In addition, it was found to be particularly efficient to close the bathroom door and ventilate the bathroom for a certain period of time. |
