    An advanced sterilized environment is required in bio-cleanrooms for aseptic preparation. Until now, formaldehyde gas sterilization has been used for sterilizing a bio-cleanroom; however, owing to the residual problems associated with formaoldehyde, substitute sterilization methods are required. The fumigation system using ozone gas is a substitute sterilization method and has some advantages such as concentration control of ozone gas by its measument and easy decomposition of ozone gas to oxygen using a catalyst. In this study, the characteristics of ozone gas are examined and the sterilizing effect of ozone gas on floating fungus and adherent bacteria in bio-cleanrooms and the effectiveness of the fumigation system are analyzed.

    In smoking areas of restaurants, smokers and nonsmokers are often seated at the same table. Under such conditions, nonsmokers are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. In this research, a ventilation system is studied to reduce a nonsmoker's exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in restaurants by performing CFD simulation and experiments. Several kinds of ventilation systems were modeled, and the distribution of the concentration of particulate materials was studied. Part one of this research presents the results of CFD simulation. The CFD results show that a displacement ventilation system can improve indoor air quality more than a mixing ventilation system; however, the concentration of particulate matter is not maintained within the allowable level. On the other hand, a combined system of local ventilation and displacement ventilation is expected to provide good indoor air quality. In addition, moderate ventilation rate and air transfer from the nonsmoking area to the smoking area were examined to improve the air quality in the smoking area.

    This study focuses on the performance prediction of a solar-thermal-assisted air-conditioning system for office buildings. The LCEM(Life Cycle Energy Management) tool was used for performance prediction. The LCEM tool was developed to study an HVAC system of a building. In this study, new components of a collector and an absorption machine were developed. The mathematical description and input/output parameters of both components were described in detail. The results of the field measurements and the calculations were compared and the accuracy was discussed. It can be concluded that the simulation models developed in the study can be used for performance prediction of solar-assisted HVAC systems with sufficient accuracy.

    In order to prevent contamination of particulate matter in indoor environments, it is important to control the transmission of particles from outdoors to indoors through ventilators. Toward this end, this study aims to reduce the amount of entrained particles passing through a ventilation system. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique and a Lagrangian particle tracking approach are used to predict the properties of flow fields and particle transportation from outdoor to indoor environments in a vertical ventilation duct under various boundary conditions. In this paper, we present the results of sensitivity analysis in terms of changes in particle diameters, particle densities, and temperature gradients; the results were confirmed to hold within the valid range of the given boundary conditions. Through the numerical predictions, the particle motions in the ventilator were confirmed to depend on particle sizes, particle densities, and air stream conditions. A majority of large particles with particle diameters (d_p) ranging from 80 to 100 μm were strongly affected by gravitational settling and transported along a different air path stream. Particles with sizes ranging (d_p) from 10 to 50 μm tended to follow a streamline of carrier air flow and were transported toward the exhaust opening located in the upper part of the duct. The numerical results showed that the removal efficiency or retaining fraction of the vertical duct increased as the particle diameter and particle density increased. Wall boundary conditions were found to an important role in enhancing the retaining fraction of the vertical duct.

    The thermal performances of a double-skin facade and airflow window system are improved by the thermal insulation properties and solar radiation characteristics of glass and Venetian blinds in addition to exhaust heat mechanism resulting from airflow. In this paper, we report the measurement test that analyzes the effect of characteristics of glass and blinds on the thermal performance of a double-skin facade. On the floor of actual building, comparative measurements of heat transmission coefficient and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient are carried out on each double-skin unit, in which the thermal insulation properties of glass and optical characteristics of Venetian blinds are varied. The measurement results show that adopting low-E pair glass to inner glass and adopting the high reflection ratio glass to outer glass affect on improvement of thermal performance of double skin systems.
