Abstract

This research aims to analyze the type of air distribution system in auditorium, the effect on air quality in the room, as well as the design of appropriate air distribution systems for the auditorium to improve air quality. This study used quantitative methods, by measuring the CO2 gas concentration, air temperature and humidity in room, using the HT-2000 data logger. The measurements were conducted when the room is empty and when the room is occupied. After that, the analysis and simulation were done by using ANSYS-Fluent software. Displacement ventilation distribution system was designed by calculating the total amount of cooling load, the required air flow rate, the air supply temperature, and the return air temperature. The analysis result showed that the mixing ventilation distribution system in the auditorium could not resolve air quality in the room. Based on that results when the room is inhabited, it was known that the lowest and highest value for CO2 concentration level was 973 ppm and 1993 ppm; for air temperature of 20.5oC and 28,6oC; while the room air humidity of 49% and 71%. The displacement ventilation distribution system was designed to overcome the air quality problem in the chamber by air temperature setting was 24oC, the air supply velocity coming from the diffuser was 0.25 m/s, the total surface area of ​​the diffuser was 20.7 m2, and the flow pattern of moving air from the bottom to top of the room.

Abstract

The indoor air quality room has turned out to be a major concern due to its adverse effects on human health. This is related to the level of activity of human spend almost 90 percent of their time indoors. This study aims to identify the characteristics of air quality in classrooms with natural ventilation systems in three different schools which vary in topography and the surrounding environment, namely coastal areas, lowlands, and mountains. Air quality measurement focuses on CO, CO2 concentration, total dust content, temperature, humidity, and airflow velocity. The statistical results showed significantly different (p <0.05) in air quality parameters among those three schools. The CO and CO2 concentrations in the three schools are below the recommendations required by DOSH and ASHRAE. This clarifies that a well-used of a natural ventilation system is able to maintain the air quality in the classroom. The measurement of total dust levels was above the threshold required by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No.1405/MENKES/SK/XI/2002. In addition, there was a significant relationship (p <0.05) between air pollutants and meteorological factors such as temperature and air humidity in the classroom. The study found that there was an influence of human activity level and the surrounding environment on the amount of pollutants concentration in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of air quality in the parking building based on the pollution content in it (CO, CO2, HCHO and, VOC), to analyze the effect of the weather, intensity of motorized vehicle traffic, and surface elevation to the air quality. The dependent variable is the level of air pollution. The research sample is the Makassar Bosowa Tower Parking Building, data collection was carried out by direct measurement and observation in 12 days from November 24th till December 17th. The research was done using the comparative method, The data processed using the Mann-Whitney difference test, and the Spearman correlation test using SPSS application. The results showed that the average CO levels had exceeded the limit of good air quality, the average of CO2 levels was still within the limits for good air quality, and the average of HCHO and VOC levels were mostly within the limits for good indoor air quality, according to The Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation Number 1077 in 2011. The result of measurements and tests shows that the changes in the weather do not have a significant effect on the air quality. The amount and the intensity of motorized vehicle traffic affect the air quality, especially during rainy weather.

Abstract

One of the largest energy consumers in the world is buildings. The energy consumption comes from the lighting system. Energy use in buildings is generally 25% for lighting systems. The strategy used in building design is to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the best comfort in a building. The application of energy-saving concepts from the building sector is optimizing the lighting system by integrating natural and artificial lighting systems. This study aims to determine the light intensity in the integrated lighting system of natural and artificial manually and also to find out how much energy can be saved with the integrated lighting system manually. The research location is at the Mega Bank Makassar Tower Building. The research sample was selected by purposive sampling and the sixth floor was chosen as the research location. In this study, simulations were carried out using the DIAlux 4.13 program to integrate natural and artificial light and to calculate the amount of energy efficiency in the workspace. To obtain optimal light intensity and energy savings, a simulation was carried out by turning off half the light points in the workspace, especially the light points around the building openings. The simulation results show that the average integrated lighting quality meets the minimum lighting requirements and can save energy usage by up to 50%.
