Abstract |
In high school classrooms, it is reported that ventilation is often insufficient, increasing health risks among students. Therefore, indoor air
quality in school classrooms is very important in terms of students' health and learning abilities. In this study, the effect of window opening,
which is a control mechanism for air control in summer high school classrooms, on the change in air and indoor environment of the
classroom was analyzed and physical conditions of indoor and air environment were observed during the classroom course, and satisfaction of
the students and teachers was assessed with questionnaires. It was found that change rate of CO2 concentration in classroom was effectively
reduced by carrying out activity of opening the window by active environment control activity of occupants at break time, intermission time
and cleaning time. And optimal window opening by students was presented to prevent unpleasantness and degradation of indoor air quality
and the effects were analyzed. |
