DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant's long-term career plans are to conduct research and teaching on indoor environment, such as indoor air quality and thermal comfort in buildings. In particular, the applicant will emphasize the research on energy-efficient ventilation system for applications to occupational safety and health. Indoor environment is important to a worker's health and welfare, because more than half of the U.S. workforce is employed indoors, and up to 90 percent of a typical worker's time is spent indoors. Also, worker's productivity is related to the indoor environment, such as the indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Poor indoor environment design has cost billions dollars due to productivity loss of the working American. The aims of the proposed investigation are to develop an integrated design tool to analyze combined problems of indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort for an entire building. The integrated tool will consist of three major components: building models, a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) model, and mass and heat source/sink models. The building models will use a simplified computational-fluid-dynamics model to calculate IAQ and thermal comfort in a single zone and a multi-zone model to link the heat and mass transfer between zones for an entire building. The HVAC model will use modules that can be easily used to form different HVAC systems. The mass and heat source/sink models will use the coupled program of the simplified computational-fluid-dynamics and an energy analysis program as well as various dispersion models. The integrated design tool will be validated by experimental data of LAQ and thermal comfort obtained in a building. The integrated design tool can be used to evaluate IAQ and thermal comfort in terms of contaminant concentrations, the mean age of air, ventilation effectiveness, airflow pattern, air velocity, air velocity fluctuation, air temperature, relative humidity, percentage dissatisfied people due to draft, and percentage predicted dissatisfied people in an entire building.

描述（由申请人提供）： 申请人的长期职业规划是 进行室内空气等室内环境的研究和教学 建筑物的质量和热舒适度。特别是，申请人将 强调节能通风系统应用研究 职业安全和健康。 室内环境对工人的健康和福利很重要，因为更多 超过一半的美国劳动力在室内工作，高达 90% 的员工在室内工作 典型的工人时间都在室内度过。此外，还与工人的生产率有关 影响室内环境，如室内空气质量、热舒适度等。 不良的室内环境设计因生产力而损失数十亿美元 失去了美国工人。 拟议调查的目的是开发一种集成设计工具 分析室内空气质量 (IAQ) 和热舒适度的综合问题 对于整个建筑物。该集成工具将包括三个主要部分 组件：建筑模型、供暖、通风和空调 (HVAC) 模型，以及质量和热源/汇模型。建筑模型将 使用简化的计算流体动力学模型来计算 IAQ 和 单区域的热舒适度和连接热和热的多区域模型 整个建筑物的区域之间的质量传递。 HVAC 模型将使用 模块可轻松用于形成不同的 HVAC 系统。质量和 热源/汇模型将使用简化的耦合程序 计算流体动力学和能量分析程序以及各种 色散模型。集成设计工具将通过实验进行验证 在建筑物中获得的 LAQ 和热舒适度数据。 集成设计工具可用于评估室内空气质量和热舒适度 污染物浓度、空气平均年龄、通风情况 效率、气流模式、风速、风速波动、空气 温度、相对湿度、因吃风而不满意的人数百分比、 和百分比预测整栋大楼中不满意的人。
