Abstract

Indoor air quality problem of new apartment building caused by VOCs and formaldehyde have recently become a major public concern in Korea. Although low-emission building materials are widely used for to ensure better Indoor Air Quality ("IAQ"), the indoor concentration of chemical compounds at pre-occupancy stage are still high. In this study, ventilation strategies, which concern the sink-effect under bake-out condition, were investigated to improve IAQ in new apartment buildings by bake-out. Four residential housing units were tested under different ventilation and heating conditions.
