A Study on the Airtightness Performance of New Han-ok Bedrooms

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the airtightness performance of New Han-ok and to supply fundamental data for standards establishment. Air leakage testings were accomplished by means of blower door test in 26 bedrooms of 16 Han-oks located in Jeonnam happy villages. Followings are results.1) Air change per hour at 50 Pa(ACH50) is located on 8.42 78.38. ～2) No correlation between ACH50 and volumes, floor area, above grade surface area.3) The more wood structural elements are exposed, attached spaces, wooden sliding and casement windows, the less airtightness performance.4) An Airtightness with ACH50/20(NL, Normalized leakage) is located on 0.42 3.92 and building leakage ～ class following F(4%), G(11%, sufficiently leaky, No need mechanical ventilation), H(4%, Need of cost-effective tightening), I(31%), J(50%) by a single-story house the normalized leakage of ASHRAE
