국내 공동주택에서의 플러쉬아웃 시행현황에 관한 조사

Abstract

The sick building syndrome (SBS) has been known as causes of a headache, a dizziness, and an atopic dermatitis, etc., which comes from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of building materials, adhesives, built-in furnitures and appliances, etc. in newly constructed multi-family residential buildings. In order to resolve this problem, the Korean government has put a lot of efforts, including the obligation of performing flush-out after the construction and before the occupancy since 2011. In this study, a questionnaire survey has been performed targeting construction companies already constructed multi-family residential buildings with compliance of the obligation to figure out how the flush-out was actually performed well. As a result, it comes out that most of the companies could comply with the obligation, but there was a big difference between their own processes to achieve the flush-out such as a ventilation method, a calculating method for the flush-out periods, etc. Through the survey, it was concluded that more specific guideline will be necessary to perform the flush-out effectively.
