Abstract
Floor heating systems are widely used in residential buildings in Korea. The emission of VOCs from flooring materials increases as the floor temperature increases during heating condition. In this paper, the emission characteristics from flooring materials due to floor heating were investigated. Four housing units under different heating condition were simulated, and it was found that the peak level in indoor VOCs concentration pose as a serious problem to occupants in new apartment buildings during heating period. Based on the results, several strategies related to source control, ventilation, heating method, and bake-out were developed to mitigate the VOCs peak level.
