Abstract
The purpose of this study were to make clear the actual state of indoor air quality by cooling in private institute classrooms and to analyze influencing factors on indoor air quality. The measurements of physical elements and observations of architectural characteristics and living conditions were carried out in each 1 classroom of 5 private institutes. Measuring elements were indoor temperature, relative humidity, <TEX>$PM_{10}$</TEX>, HCHO, CO, and <TEX>$CO_2$</TEX> concentration. As results, the averages of indoor temperature each classroom were <TEX>$21.7\sim28.1^{\circ}C$</TEX>. 3 classrooms were lower than the Maintenance standard(<TEX>$26\sim28^{\circ}C$</TEX>) of School Health Law. The means of relative humidity were 48<TEX>$\sim$</TEX>63%, all classrooms were ranged within the standard(30<TEX>$\sim$</TEX>80%). The means of <TEX>$PM_{10}$</TEX> concentration were 2.1 <TEX>$\sim$</TEX> 17 <TEX>$\mu g/m^3$</TEX>, all classrooms were kept within the standard(100 <TEX>$\mu g/m^3$</TEX>). The means of HCHO concentration were 0.02<TEX>$\sim$</TEX>0.16 ppm, 2 classrooms were exceed the standard(0.1 ppm). The means of CO concentration were 1.4<TEX>$\sim$</TEX>3.6 ppm, all classrooms were kept within the standard(10ppm). The means of <TEX>$CO_2$</TEX> concentration were 1,593<TEX>$\sim$</TEX>3,819 ppm, all classrooms were exceed the standard(1,000ppm). The results of analysis on influencing factors of the physical elements are as follow; the air conditioner set of temperature, personal necessities like hair spray, teacher's smoking in corridor, windows and doors opening time, the number of students, and volume of classroom.
