“…There is a strong airflow through the doors [2], sometimes preventing elevator and front doors from opening and closing [3]. The airflow results in unpleasant noises [4], the diffusion of smoke [5], odors [6], pollutants [7], and viruses [8], and an increase in heating loads [9] on some floors. For example, Andargie et al [1] emphasized the effects of airflow on indoor environments and thermal comfort in multifamily high-rise buildings (MFHRBs).…”

“…For example, Andargie et al [1] emphasized the effects of airflow on indoor environments and thermal comfort in multifamily high-rise buildings (MFHRBs). According to the actual resident complaints analyzed in [4], the stack-driven airflow noise accounted for 80 cases (57.1%) in the total of 140 cases, which is the most frequent complaint followed by excessive draft at doors (31.4%). Therefore, airflow is a major factor in the MFHRBs.…”

Thermal Draft Load Coefficient for Heating Load Differences Caused by Stack-Driven Infiltration by Floor in Multifamily High-Rise Buildings

The stack effect is dominant in multifamily high-rise buildings (MFHRBs) in winter because of the considerable height of MFHRBs, which causes a difference in the infiltration amount between floors. This difference causes a heating load difference between floors in a MFHRB. However, there are no indicators to quantify the heating load differences in previous studies. In this article, an indicator—the thermal draft load coefficient (TDLC)—is proposed that can be used to estimate and evaluate the differences between floors in a MFHRB. The TDLC is built on a theoretical model of the stack effect and leakage area of the airflow paths, considering the entire building airflow in a MFHRB. The theoretical model was validated by comparison with a simulation model. The winter average coefficient of variation of the root mean square error and the normalized mean bias error of the theoretical model were acceptable (17.1% and 9.3%, respectively). The TDLC resulted in a maximum of 2.5 and a minimum of approximately 0.1 in the target MFHRB. The TDLC can pre-evaluate the load difference in the building design stage and can be utilized to build design standards or guidelines.

“…3 Improving the level of airtightness in a building is especially important when minimizing building energy demand. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] As insulation performance has improved, the importance of airtightness in saving building energy is increasing because up to 30% of the demand for heating in winter is due to infiltration. 11 The airtightness of a building envelope thus greatly affects its heating and cooling load.…”

This study proposes a new method for predicting the airtightness of a building envelope by using pressure differences that naturally occur in high-rise buildings. The background and principle of the proposed method, which uses the relationship between pressure difference and airflow, are described. The proposed method was validated by applying it to a 42-storey residential building. The differential pressure generated in the building under actual climatic conditions was measured twice during the winter season. Based on the measured pressure difference data, the airtightness of the building envelope was predicted, and those predicted values were compared with detailed measurements taken using the blower door test method. The results show that the difference between the predicted and directly measured airtightness of the building envelope for the upper floors (36th and 42nd floors), where the differential pressure was relatively large, did not differ significantly. Where the differential pressure across a building component formed by the indoor/outdoor temperature difference, the building height, and the distance from the neutral plane of the analyzed building was more than 50 Pa, the results predicted using the method proposed in this study were valid.

“…Environmental problems become local, national, and global problems because it poses a threat to human life (Turan & Altuntas, 2018;Roth, 2019;Yoon et al, 2020). One of the causes of an unbalanced relationship between humans and the environment is anthropocentric behavior, which prioritizes human desires without considering environmental sustainability.…”

“…Critical Thinking skill is one of the critical competencies needed by students to prepare for their personal and professional lives (Bezanilla et al, 2019). Critical thinking skills have been studied in various scientific fields such as education (Zuriguel Pérez et al, 2015;Smith et al, 2018;Jacob et al, 2019;Fitriani & Fibriana, 2020). However, there are only a few research on ecocritical thinking skill.…”

The study aims to investigate Person Ability and Item Fit instruments for critical thinking skills of the environment (Eco Critical Thinking Skill) in elementary pre-service teachers. Instrument investigations were carried out by describing item fit, separation of item and person, unidimensionality, and reliability of item and person. The research method was carried out quantitatively by collecting data through an open-answer essay test and an ecocritical thinking skill test. Participants in this study were Elementary School Teacher Education (ESTE) students from 3 universities in Surabaya of East Java, Surakarta of Central Java, and Manggarai of East Nusa Tenggara. The number of participants was 110 ESTE students. Data were analyzed with the Rasch Model WINSTEP software. The result of the study is that 36% of ESTE students have high Person Ability, 58% of them have average Person Ability, and the rest (6%) have low Person Ability. Students who have higher abilities are dominated by students from campus in Surabaya at 50%. Item fit Instrument with Mean Square (MnSq) 0.7 - 1.33. ZSTD -1.4 - 2.0 and Pt-measure Corr 0.49â€“0.6. The research concludes that an instrument of ecocritical thinking skills is a good fit instrument. The distribution of pre-service teacher qualifications from Surakarta and Manggarai is at a medium level, and students from Surabaya-East Java dominate high ability. Elementary pre-service teachers have the most dominant ability to explain and analyze a phenomenon or fact related to environmental damage.
