    Previous research papers reported that smoldering odor generated in building fire is most sensitive signal for occupants. In this study, a link between human response to the unusual occasions and the smoldering odor caused in fire was discussed. The odor concentration of smoldering wood was measured using semiconductor type odor sensors installed at the 56 points on the two-dimensional location in a small test room. From the results of the these experiments, the smoldering odor propagated with air flow and diffused over the room. 24 of 30 persons in total were aware of the unusual smell of the odor and the remaining 6 were aware of the smoke itself. It was concluded that most of human was aware of unusual smell at first in the process of the smell of smoke.

    The aim of this study is to propose a sky radiance distribution model for all sky conditions from clear sky to overcast sky. In the previous paper, the indices to estimate sky radiance distributions were examined based on the measurement data in Tokyo and Fukuoka by IDMP of CIE. The normalized global irradiance and cloudless index were selected as indices to estimate sky radiance distributions. This paper proposes a numerical equation named All Sky Model - R to show sky radiance distributions for all sky conditions as functions of these indices. The All Sky Model - R was compared with the measurement values of sky radiance distributions, and its high accuracy was confirmed. Moreover, the vertical global irradiances from the estimation of the All Sky Model - R, Isotropic model and Perez model were compared with the measurement values. It was confirmed that the All Sky Model - R gives smallest RMSE values and reproduces actual phenomenon of the sky accurately.

    The purpose of this study is to examine whether cooling load can be decreased and whether simplified cooling system can be used to create a comfortable humidity and temperature conditions in buildings by making good use of thermal storage and thermal insulation. According to the results of measurement on room air temperature changes in well-insulated buildings, the effects by daily swing of outdoor temperature and solar radiation are quite small. Simple calculation method for cooling load based on steady state theories are available for these buildings, the cooling load can also be minimized by using thermal mass of building and by allowing a small swings of room air temperature. As the cooling load is decreased, a floor cooling becomes effective system that is free from the vapor condensation. A floor cooling system is also effective to remove radiant heat gain directly from artificially luminous radiation or solar one through windows before they transmitted to the room air so that the cooling load in a room becomes smaller. The reason is that a main water system is much suitable for continuous cooling, and thus the roles of ventilation system become mainly fresh air supply and humidity control. A simple air conditioning system without re-circulation of air will also be realized by decreasing its cooling load.

    The sky radiance distribution changes in accordance with the sky condition, such as solar position, weather, cloud conditions and so on. This paper proposes a method of dividing the global solar irradiance into the direct diffuse irradiance, and this method is based on the data of the sky radiance distribution measured by Sky Scanner. The proposed solar irradiance model : Δζ-based Sky Irradiance Model, is that irradiance from the high-radiant area around the sun is added to the direct solar irradiance value. Δζ is the angle distance from the center of the sun to the end of direct irradiance area. From the results of study on solar irradiance on tilted surfaces, Δζ value is recommended 50 degree. In this paper, we propose the equations that estimate the Δζ-Based Sky Irradiance from the global solar irradiance, and verified its accuracy.

    Newly constructed residential houses in Japan are better insulated and more airtight than their predecessors to increase energy conservation. Although reduced energy consumption was expected, the energy performance of these buildings has not yet been measured. Therefore, the indoor environment and energy consumption in three hundred well-insulated and airtight houses newly constructed in the Tohoku District were investigated by a questionnaire survey. This paper firstly describes the buildings' energy consumption. Secondly, the relationship between energy consumption for space heating and the influencing factors on energy consumption is discussed and calculation by a multi-regression analysis method are presented. Thirdly, the influence of these factors on the heating load is estimated using computer simulations. The simulation method takes the multi-zone effects of heat transfer and air flow distribution into consideration. Computer simulation reveal that the well-insulated and airtight houses in the Tohoku District consume more energy for space heating than ordinary existing houses, in which only the living/dining room is heated(take-back effect). The results also show, that it would be possible to keep a comfortable indoor environment with less energy consumption than the ordinary houses, if the houses had an insulation comparable to R2000 houses in Canada.

    Evaluation of the ventilation performance of buildings, especially for residential houses, is complicated because many rooms are connected intricately and there are many factors which influence ventilation condition. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relations among ventilation performance, ventilation systems, air tightness of house and other factors, using Supply Rate Fulfillment index and network flow model. SRF index can treat transferred air, which passed through other rooms, as certain potential of fresh air. Following conclusions are obtained for the ventilation performance evaluation of different systems in an apartment house. ・Under the condition of using F_<co>-class plywood and applying ventilation requirement in the Japanese energy conservation standards (1999), the concentration of formaldehyde will be below the WHO standard. ・The range of wind velocity and wind pressure, in which Overall Supply Rate Fulfillment index complying with ventilation requirement for individual rooms in the Japanese energy conservation standards stay lager than 0.8,are shown.

    Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is one of the most useful techniques to predict the air distribution in air-conditioned and ventilated rooms. The supply airflow such as free jet, wall jet and combined flow of these jets has a great influence on the air distribution in rooms. Most of supply air diffusers have complex geometry, however, the shape of diffuser is usually oversimplified in CFD with coarse grids system. The results of such simulation may give incorrect prediction due to the poor modeling of diffusers. Even if the complex geometry of air diffuser can be described in detail, huge computer capacity and very long calculation time were required. In this paper, several modeling methods to simplify the boundary condition around air diffusers, such as BOX Method (P.V. Nielsen; 1976,1992) and P.V. Method (Prescribed Velocity Method, P.V. Nielsen et al.; 1980), are compared. These modelings require the distribution of air velocity, turbulence properties, temperature and concentrations around the diffuser beforehand. These data as the boundary condition for CFD with coarse grids can be obtained from the experimental measurement or the unstructured CFD simulation with fine meshes. In this paper, the full scale experiment was carried out at isothermal condition, and the airflow data around complex air diffuser installed at ceiling was obtained. With the basis of the flow data around the diffuser by the measurement, BOX Method and P.V. Method were applied to the air diffuser. The results of coarse grids CFD showed the good agreement not only around diffusers but in other part of rooms with the measurement.

    A lot of paints, adhesives and chemical materials which are known to emit gaseous chemical pollutants are being used in buildings. These building materials are potential sources of indoor chemical substances. Bake-out has been as one mitigation method for such elevated formaldehyde concentrations. The bake-out procedure could increase the transfer of indoor chemical substance from sources to the outdoor. The bake-out hypothesis is that this source depletion is sufficient to cause formaldehyde emission rates to be significantly less than they would have been without bake-out. So, this study was conducted 1) to establish the bake-out procedure and evaluation methods used with test pieces and an environmental chamber, 2) to determine the effectiveness of the bake-out on formaldehyde reduction, and 3) to analyze the relationship between specification of building parts and the reduction effectiveness on the sources by the bake-out. From our results, it turned out that the emission rate of formaldehyde was decreased by 6.54〜55.6% after bake-out in a temperature of 38℃ for the period of 72 hours. And, if we wish to determine the effectiveness of bake-out on the VOCs, further experiments used by chambers should be needed.

    Cross-cultural background represents an influential element in the evaluation of environment and landscape. The purpose of this study was to clarify differences and similarities between Chinese and Japanese students in Hiroshima University regarding visual information processing in landscape evaluation. Eye-movements of subjects were measured during the presentation of regional landscape slides. Each slide comprised three landscape elements. These elements were controlled independently by image processing. Fixation behavior and psychological evaluation were compared between subject groups. The characteristics of fixation behavior were found to be basically the same between groups. With regard to familiar elements, correlations between eye-movements and evaluation were low in each group. However, with regard to unfamiliar elements, different correlations were observed in each group, attributable to differences in visual experience and knowledge.

    A numerical model of cold air drainage flow over a finite-length slope was presented and characteristics of airflow and impacts of some parameters (volume of vegetation, shape of slope, anthropogenic waste heat and roughness parameter) were examined. Relating to the influence of land use, a slope covered with vegetation has a large capacity of generating cold air compared with a bare slope. When the cold air flowed out from the area covered with vegetation into the artificial area, roughness parameter has an impact to its velocity and anthropogenic waste heat to its temperature. As a result, the importance of preserving the green tract of land in a hilly area was pointed out.

    This paper focused on the environmental transfer and terminal care of the resident living in a group living for dementia. The purpose of the study is to clarify the importance of continuity of the residential and care environment from the point of two aspects. It is expected to give some suggestions or hints for what a group living should be in a system of residential facilities for the elderly. Two surveys were practiced for the purpose. One is a longitudinal follow-up observation survey on two cases transferred from group living to institutional nursing home. This result showed how the transfer impacted to the residents and how important the environment of group living for the people with dementia. Another survey is on the attitude and actual conditions of the terminal care for the residents living in a group living using method of questionnaire survey to all the group livings in July 2000. The result showed the difficult condition of group livings for playing a place for terminal care in view of present state of system. On the other hand, many group livings hope to work as a place where residents can live as long as possible. Therefore, the public support system for terminal care in group livings is needed to be prepared without delay.

    By investigating and analyzing 14 libraries, of which 9 are in Mie and 5 are in Gifu, this paper discusses the structure of selective behaviors and consciousness of users of libraries, based on planning of libraries in regional areas. We summarize the conclusions as follows : ・It is worthy to note that in regional area, users consider libraries as a place not only to borrow books, but also to conduct continuing education activities such as reading, research or studying something. ・The users' selective behaviors are not entirely concerned with the collection of books, but also influenced by the space and location of libraries. These factors must be considered in planning facilities for continuing education. ・Expectation for a certain library differs from each user and maybe influenced by the functions of neighboring libraries.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the reference domains of demonstrative pronouns from reclining postures. In everyday conversation in Japan, we use the three different demonstrative pronouns, "KORE", "SORE", and "ARE". The differences between the usage of these three pronouns indicate that the space surrounding a person can be divided into three reference domains. The experiments were carried out in a large experimental room. Subjects were located lying on one's back on the bed. Subjects were indicated the electric bulb, then were asked to KORE/SORE/ARE. The results are summarized as below; 1)The reference domain of "ARE" encloses the domain of "SORE", which encloses the domain of "KORE". 2)The reference domain of "KORE" encloses from head to knee, and has relation to the motion area of the arm. 3)The reference domains of demonstrative pronouns from reclining postures are different from the reference domains of demonstrative pronouns from standing postures.

    This paper traces the scheduling scheme back to its foundation, the concept of time. It develops a non-local distribution theory of time resource, which allows one to deal directly with the distributed time resource potentials, to incorporate uncertainty into the scheduling model as well as its dynamic adjustment mechanism of parts and whole. Some appropriate linear transformation over the collective potentials will do reproduce the standard time process, on which time resources are allocated with proper probabilities. This reconstruction scheme of scheduling via the non-locally distributed theory opens up the way to incorporate the decision mechanism onto the model.

    In a rural town, there is an obvious decline in power as people moves away from the center. Although autonomy is measuring the recovery of power by the law such as many promotion law as the correspondence to such a present condition, it needs to grasp the present condition of the town as a fixed quantity in order to correctly measure the effect. This research proposes to develop a fixed quantitative method which analyses the characteristics of a commercial block using the theory of Self-Organized Criticality. This report is combined with a theoretical thought to investigate and analyze both Nakamachi street and Agetsuchi street in Matsumoto city, as an actual block model and suggests the possibility of comparing the model with the simulation of the hypothesized block.
