A Study on the Environmental performance into standard system of Elementary school building by wood-frame construction. : -Outline of Model Plan and Field Measurements of Thermal Environment in Winter-

This study is concerned with on a standard design of elementary school by wood-frame construction method, and its corresponding construction method. The purpose is to adopt environmental adjustment techniques which account for the indoor lighting and thermal environment. In the model plan, to provide a dual-layer wall arranged on the outer-wall side with the structural strength necessary to support a three-story school building, with buffering space between the walls. In this report, for the environmental performance inspection of the buffering space, Authors utilized an experimental building to perform actual indoor thermal measurements during the winter season. The results were as follows: Due to the warm air from the outer periphery of the experimental room\u27s floor surface into the buffering space, both the floor and walls both had a higher surface temperature. Compared to the inside of a room without such a buffering space, the area close to the outlet of a double-layer floor showed temperature differences of 12℃. And there is a 2-5 ℃ difference the lower-temperature areas of the respective walls. The indoor environmental performance improved by buffer space
