Abstract Due to recent social changes, the demand for small-scale buildings has increased, and the market for reusable and economical modular buildings continues to grow. Currently, about 90% of all modular buildings in Korea are applied to educational facilities. However, in the measurement of indoor air quality and harmful substances of modular buildings conducted by Busan City, there was a case where some of the target buildings exceeded the standard, and parents who encountered them strongly opposed the installation of modular buildings. In addition, the Ministry of Education's 2023 Modular Classroom Survey of 3,870 students showed that lack of ventilation and window problems were the main problems. Ventilation and windows are very important factors in creating a comfortable learning environment in a modular classroom and can also affect the health of occupants. This study planned to directly measure and analyze the indoor air quality of current modular classrooms to plan the shape of windows and a ventilation structure suitable for the classroom, and to provide a comfortable learning environment for occupants in consideration of the number of occupants, their activity time, carbon dioxide concentration in the classroom, and air flow.
