Building air-tightness has been increased to make energy efficient buildings. However, various indoor air quality issues can be caused by high building air-tightness because it allows low air and moisture transmission through building envelop. In order to solve and prevent these issues, mechanical ventilation systems can be used to control the indoor humidity level. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performances of the Relative Humidity (RH)-sensor based auto-controlled centralized exhaust ventilation systems to manage indoor air quality and thermal comfort of multi-family residential buildings in South Korea. A series of field tests were performed for different target zones and for various moisture source scenarios. As a result, it was found that the auto-controlled centralized exhaust ventilation systems were able to control indoor air quality and to maintain the zones thermal comfort faster than the baseline cases that did not operate exhaust vents. The results presented in this paper can show the potential and the feasibility of the auto-controlled centralized exhaust ventilation systems for multi-family residential buildings in South Korea. It is expected that the results presented in this paper would be useful for building owners, engineers, and architects when designing building systems.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of indoor environment as well as qualityconsiderations are important element in the study of energy consumption, thermal comfortand indoor air quality in buildings. This paper investigate a comparison work betweenimpinging jet, displacement, and mixing ventilation systems for an isothermal and nonisothermalventilated room for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and thermal human comfort underIraqi climate. For IJV system, draught discomfort is the issue of most concern since itsupplies cooled air directly to the occupied zone. This study investigated a number of factorsinfluencing draught discomfort and temperature stratification in an office environment. Theconsidered factors, supply airflow rate and supply air temperature. RNG K-? turbulencemodel was used with the turbulent flow. The second aspect included numerical analyses byadopting ANSYS FLUENT15 code to generate simulation models. A square shaped airsupply device was used with [0.1 times room height (h)] outlet terminal height from the footlevel end. The IJV system proved more efficient than displacement and mixing ventilationsystems. The Air Distribution Performance Index (ADPI) obtained for an isothermal andnon-isothermal ventilated room adopting IJV system gave best values (0.80, 0.83)respectively compared with the other two ventilation systems.
