Abstract
In this paper, I note the relation between architectural environmental engineering and calorimetry & thermal analysis with some results of my research. There are many moisture damages (mold growth in room, moisture condensation on finishing materials or windows etc.) in a dwelling house that has low adiabatic performance. It has recognized that ventilation is fundamental method to avoid moisture damage. Recently, the degree of adiabatic performance of a dwelling house has been improved. Consequently, there is few difference of temperature among the rooms. And moisture damage occurred in a dwelling house has been decreased. However, the important problem for relative humidity of indoor air has been recognized. The low relative humidity of indoor air exceeds the comfort limit for person. In this paper, I show distribution of moisture ratio in a real LDK (living dining room connects kitchen) when steam arise from a pan during 50 minutes. And I show control procedure of relative humidity in a room heated by air conditioner to utilize desorption of finishing materials.
