BUILDING DESIGN FOR GOOD INDOOR AIR QUALITY

摘要

Problems with architectural design in recent buildings of poor indoor air quality are discussed and proper measures to modify the design process in future buildings for good indoor air quality are proposed with a focus to material selection based on the recent advancement in research on emission from various surfaces. Interconnectedness between indoor air and outdoor air is discussed to be extended to some interesting devices in building design with natural ventilation system. Cooperation between architects and scientists for good indoor air quality is stressed for future new buildings and retrofitting processes of existing buildings.
