International standards for indoor environments are evolving. This research examines if current guidelines adequately address South-East Asian needs, considering factors like lifestyle and climate, to ensure effective building design.

Area of Science:

  • Building Science
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Standardization

Background:

  • International organizations like ISO, CEN, and ASHRAE regularly develop indoor environment standards.
  • Current standards for thermal comfort and indoor air quality are primarily developed by experts from Europe, North America, and Japan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adequacy of existing international indoor environment standards for South-East Asia.
  • To identify specific considerations for South-East Asia (e.g., lifestyle, climate, economy) not covered by current standards.
  • To determine the need for revising existing standards or developing new ones.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing international standards for indoor thermal environment and air quality (ventilation).
  • Analysis of critical issues relevant to South-East Asia, including adaptation, air velocity, humidity, and pollutant sources.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion on the classification of acceptable indoor environments into different classes.

    • Main Results:

    • Existing international standards may not fully address the unique requirements of South-East Asia.
    • Factors such as lifestyle, climate, and economic conditions necessitate a review of current standards.
    • Adaptation, air velocity, humidity, and pollutant sources are critical areas requiring attention.

    Conclusions:

    • International standards offer recognized criteria for building and system design.
    • Revisions to existing standards or the development of new ones may be necessary to accommodate regional differences, particularly for South-East Asia.
