Educational facilities have a lots of IAQ problems because of the high levels of airtightness, poor ventilation, and the increase of the compounds in construction materials. Various studies were carried out on the IAQ problems in the educational facilities such as childcare center, elementary school, middle school, and high school. However, there are few studies on the IAQ problems in the university buildings. In this paper, the IAQ in university buildings including CO, CO2, HCHO, TVOC, and PM10 are measured and assessed with IAQ standard. As a results, CO concentrations were very lower than the standard in all rooms. CO2 concentrations were lower than the standard in most rooms but that shows three times higher than the standard in lecture room. HCHO concentrations were twice higher than the standard in most rooms. TVOC concentrations were higher than the standard in administration office and storage facility for library. PM10 concentrations were lower than the standard in all rooms. Therefore, countermeasures are needed on the CO2, HCHO, TVOC concentration in the problem buildings. |
