綠建材防黴性能評估之研究

Evaluating the Ability of Green Building Materials to Resist Microbial Growth

台灣地處亞熱帶氣候區，具有海島型氣候高溫高濕的特性，隨著建築物之使用年限增長、使用維護不當，常有牆壁滲水或建築物通風不良情形，造成室內環境潮濕，極易孳生黴菌。散佈在室內空氣中之黴菌孢子，落在裝修材料及傢俱表面孳生，可能造成建築物、建材、傢俱的損害，亦可能引起人體過敏、皮膚病等健康危害。本研究針對此一重要且迫切之議題進行研究，獲致重要結論如下：1.建材防黴性能具可客觀評定之特性，建材防黴性能評估以青黴菌（Penicillium ）屬為檢測指標，為適當且可行之作法。2.研究發現有機合板及填縫劑之防黴性能較無機建材為差，有必要增加防黴性能評估。3.建議將防黴性能納入健康綠建材標章評定，以確保居住環境之健康性。

Taiwan is located in the humid subtropical climate zone and surrounded by the sea. It can also be easier for the fungus to grow in the condition of leakiness and stuffiness, accompanied with inappropriate use and poor maintenance of buildings. If the fungus spores spread out in the air to fall on building materials and grow on their surfaces, the materials and furnishings would be damaged and the human disease possibly occurred. The health issue of microbial resistance has already been one of the urgent issues for evaluating living environment in Taiwan. Based on the above analysis results, the important findings of this study are concluded as follows:(1)The assessment of mold-resistance performance is an objective method and the Penicillium can be used to be an indicator to measure the mold-resistance performance of building materials and proves to be feasible. (2) The mold-resistance performance of wood boards and silica is less than that of other inorganic building materials. (3)Mold-resistance performance evaluation should be further incorporated in healthy green building materials label to preserve the human health in indoor environment.
