    本研究の目的は、中央熱源方式の非住宅建築物を対象に、未だ十分なデータ構築がされていない同時使用率を整備し、同時使用率の考慮による熱源機器容量の最適化と設計手法を構築することである。今年度の研究成果を以下に記す。 1)非住宅建築物における熱源機器容量の設計実態の把握 中央熱源方式のオフィスビルを対象とした熱源機器容量の設計実態を把握するため、オフィスビルの設計経験がある機械設備設計者を対象としたアンケートを実施した(回答数:171件、有効回答:164件)。 アンケートより、中央熱源方式を採用することの多い建物規模は、10,000㎡以上の床面積であることが分かった。 また、同時使用率を考慮した設計の実施状況を聞いたところ、「考慮した設計を行っている」と回答した設計者は46%、「考慮した設計を行っていないが、必要性を感じる」と回答した設計者は35%であり、設計者の多くが同時使用率の必要性を感じていた。また、同時使用率を考慮した設計を行っている設計者に、同時使用率の値を設定する際の考え方を聞いたところ、類似建物における「経験値」をもとに設定している設計者が最も多く、次いで、ヒアリングにおける「想定値」をもとに設定している設計者が多かった。また、設計で使用する同時使用率の具体的な値を聞いたところ、冷房の平均値は77%、暖房の平均値は76%であった。

    2022年度の調査研究によって以下の知見を得た。 ①常時換気と室内空気質に関する実態調査では、ほとんどの対象で厚生労働省の室内濃度指針値を下回ったが、アセトアルデヒドは指針値を超える対象があり、TVOCは暫定目標値を超える対象があった。αピネンがTVOCを引き上げていることが確認された。 ②室内空気質と健康リスクに関する調査分析では、常時換気設備の有無、COVID-19対応の窓開け換気の有無によって、室内化学物質濃度に有意な差が見られなかった。一方で、室内環境と健康影響に関するリテラシーが室内化学物質濃度に影響することが示唆された。 ③常時換気による室内空気質改善に関する分析では、化学物質の使用に関する配慮を行った対象では、厚生労働省の室内濃度指針値を下回っているが、アセトアルデヒドについては、指針値に近い対象があった。TVOCの暫定目標値については、多くの場合に上回った。換気量は必要換気量をほぼ満たしているが、αピネンがTVOCの主な成分であること、アセトアルデヒド濃度が高いことから、木材由来の化学物質の影響が顕著であることが確認された。また、エタノールとアセトアルデヒドの濃度に関係性が見られたことから、COVID-19対応のための消毒の影響が示唆された。COVID-19対応のために、隔離室を設けた場合の実験と家庭内エアロゾル感染リスクの試算を行った結果、常時換気の種類によってリスクが顕著に異なることを確認し、その対策例を示した。

    In this study, a survey was conducted in an apartment house with a heating system using a central heat source system to clarify the actual situation of the simultaneous use rate. In order to evaluate the impact of the number of dwelling units and household composition on the simultaneous use rate in an apartment house, a probabilistic calculation method for the simultaneous use rate based on combinatorics was constructed. The study of heat source equipment capacity considering the simultaneous use rate using the constructed method showed that it is possible to optimize the heat source equipment capacity compared to the general design, and that this improves the load factor of the heat source equipment and reduces energy consumption.

    A survey on houses, indoor environment and residential literacy was conducted, and a method of estimating indoor environment in consideration of residential literacy and a model of houses for physically vulnerable persons were developed in this study. The results show that it is necessary to build houses in accordance with weather conditions and the performance of houses and to improve people's residential literacy. They also show that few people know 24-hour ventilation recommended in Building Code on Sick House, that heat shock in winter is remarkable in old houses, that the infection risk is high because of the difficulty of the stable control of humidity, and that new chemical contamination which has been not yet regulated seems to become serious. This study will lead to a basic guideline for residential literacy.

    The following three points were the main research items in the development of high performance passive ventilation house for the northern region: 1) evaluation of basic performance and living environment in this house, 2) construction of the design tool for passive ventilation and whole-room heating, 3) examination of building and equipment specifications and community heating suitable for solar and biomass heat utilization types. Specifically, in the demonstration experiment, we collected the basic data, checked the thermal comfort and measured the indoor air quality. The characteristics of air circulation and whole-room heating peculiar to passive ventilation were clarified. On the other hand, in the numerical simulation, we examined the high performance passive ventilation house and house group suitable for solar and biomass heat utilization types in various ways. The effects of single house and its assembly were estimated according to the area and household composition.

    This series of studies relates to air conditioning facilities for rooms accommodating IT equipment that generates large amounts of heat. To ensure that this equipment is cooled reliably and efficiently, we focus on three main points: (1) optimizing the thermal environment inside the room, (2) improving the efficiency of the air conditioning facilities, and (3) ensuring that these facilities operate reliably. We systematically organize issues that cross the boundaries between different industrial fields; “IT equipment design & construction (manufacturing industry), architecture and operation of information services (service industry), and air conditioning equipment design & construction (construction industry)” and quantitatively clarify the measures to be taken and the effects of these measures. The results of these studies are compiled into highly practical form.

    In this report, as the first step, transfer model of heat and moisture for horizontal running water was indicated according to balance of heat and moisture measured in the laboratory. At the second step, CFD (computer fluid dynamics) which was built with transfer model of heat and moisture was compared with actual results as a numerical verification. We need to measure actually distribution of air velocity for adjacent boundary layer on the running water surface for explaining a transfer mechanism of heat and moisture. Such distributions of air velocity on the running water surface were measured by using PIV. It is necessary to estimate by using numerical simulations before planning thermal-aero environment of indoor open spaces. At the third step, improved effects were evaluated by using numerical simulations for planning future thermal-aero environment of indoor open spaces. To design thermal-aero environment for inner open spaces, we need to know the relationship between illuminate environment and solar radiation trough the glass roofs for such spaces. It is possible to estimate thermal load for void spaces of top light type. Classification of atrium spaces was done like side-core model, center core model and linear core model. Best option was indicated from the parameter analysis of PIV. To discuss the numerical analysis by using macro-model that needs for planning of thermal-aero environment to use weak temperature distribution in inner open spaces should be continued. Also CFD analysis used cool running water surface should be continued.
