| Abstract |
This study was conducted to investigate the living environment of semi-basement housing units in multi-household houses. It analyzed measurements of temperature and humidity obtained from the housing units. For this study, temperature and humidity sensors were installed in 10 semi-basement housing units to measure interior temperature and humidity for 13 months. A survey was conducted to get information about the occurrence of dew condensation and mildew and to investigate residents' satisfaction level with the residential environment. According to the result, all the housing units under study had dew condensation and mildew. The average summer temperature of the 10 housing units was 27.84℃, and average humidity was 64.91%RH, while the average winter temperature was 20.6℃, and the average humidity was 40.12%RH. Depending on the condition of each housing unit, deviation was big. Residents' average level of satisfaction with the living condition was 2.03 which shows a low satisfaction (on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being completely satisfied.). |
