室內健康環境評估模式之分析與建立

Abstract

隨著生活型態的轉變，每人每天平均約有80％或更多的時間處於室內環境之中。室內環境產生的空氣污染，可能會引起不同層面的危害問題。例如，降低生產力、損失工時及增加成本，更直接的影響就是工作品質、效率和身體的健康。許多研究指出，植栽可以濾淨空氣、紓解壓力和提高工作效率，精油能讓人心情愉悅與移除負面的想法，而音樂具有令人心靈寧靜、放鬆肌肉和紓壓的效果，顯然植栽、精油和音樂三者都與健康紓壓具有正相關的關係。因此，本研究為了改善室內空氣品質，創造清新、紓壓的環境，並建立評估模式，首先，在第一章中，回顧了室內環境品質良窳的重要性，並指出植栽、精油和音樂三者交互作用，可以改善室內健康環境品質，降低「病態建築症候群」。第二章中，回顧了DEA、6σ之DMAIC流程、ANP及TM等4種主要的研究方法，並說明將該方法分別應用於本研究。第三章，以學校的教室為例，應用DEA與TM選取植栽和最佳配置，以提升室內健康環境之品質。第四章，以安養照護機構的閱覽室為例，導入6σ之DMAIC流程，選取植栽、精油及音樂的最佳組合，以提升室內環境之健康紓壓的品質。第五章，以幼稚園的會議室為例，採用ANP篩選植栽、精油及音樂，透過TM，評估室內健康環境品質，並以統計檢定驗證試驗結果。最後，在第六章中，說明本研究證實，植栽、精油及音樂的最佳組合，確實可以有效淨化室內空氣、紓緩壓力和提升環境品質，且其效果非常的顯著，並強調一套室內健康環境的評估模式，已應然而生。同時相信，透過本研究所提供的評估模式，可以有效改善室內的空氣品質，創造一個舒適、清新與健康的環境，亦可提供醫療照護、養老院及辦公場所等機構，作為改善環境的參考。

Currently, most people spend 80% to 90% of their time working in an airtight indoor environment. Indoor air pollution may cause different levels of hazard problem, e.g., would cause uncomfortable symptoms or relevant diseases, and therefore result in productivity reducing, time losing and cost increasing, which can degrade work quality, work efficiency, and long-term health. Many researchers have demonstrated that plants can be used to purify the air and relive stress, essential oils can promote positive emotions and eliminate negative thoughts, and music can relieve stress by calming nerves and relaxing muscles. All of these are positively related to the release of stress and the promotion of health. To improve IAQ, create a refreshing, stress-relieving environment and build an assessment model, this study first reviewed the importance of IAQ, highlighting the function of plants, essential oils and music in improving IAQ and reducing SBS. The second chapter reviews four key research methods, being DEA, DMAIC of 6σ, ANP and TM, and explains how each of these methods are respectively applied to this research. In the third chapter, using a school classroom as an example, we employed DEA and TM to select plants and determine their optimum configuration, in order to enhance the quality of the indoor environment. In the fourth chapter, using the reading room of an aged care facility as an example, we applied the DMAIC procedure of 6σto select the optimum combination of plants, essential oils and music, in order to maximize the health-promoting and stress-relieving features of the indoor environment. In the fifth chapter, using the conference room of a kindergarten as an example, we employed ANP to select plants, essential oils and music, and used TM to evaluate the health-related quality of the indoor environment. This study also used statistical testing to verify the experimental results. Lastly, the sixth chapter discusses how our findings demonstrate that the optimal combination of plants, essential oils and music can effectively purify indoor air, relieve stress and enhance environmental quality. We also emphasize the importance of developing a model to evaluate the quality of an indoor environment in promoting health and relieving stress. We believe that the proposed system provides an effective means to enhance air quality in the promotion of a comfortable, clean, and healthy environment. Our findings provide a valuable reference for the implementation of environment improvements in medical facilities, retirement homes, and office spaces.
