About the Lab
Professor Taeyeon Kim's research lab specializes in indoor air quality and human thermal comfort, focusing on the dynamic interactions between building environments, occupant behavior, and health. The lab investigates cooking-generated particulate matter (PM2.5) dispersion, ventilation effectiveness, and the development of real-time clothing insulation (clo) estimation methods using thermal imaging and thermoregulation models. Key research directions include improving indoor air quality through optimized ventilation strategies, range hood performance enhancement, and data-driven modeling of occupant-specific parameters for personalized thermal comfort.

15The purpose of this study was to measure the concentration of cooking-generated particles and to assess the health risk of the occupants. Numerous particulates are released from the kitchen when people are cooking, and diffused to other spaces in house, which would adverse the health of occupants. Sufficient ventilation is needed to decrease the PM2.5 concentration. To analyze the PM2.5 concentration, field measurements were performed on a cooking condition. A case study was performed based on t
For evaluating the thermal comfort of occupants, human factors such as clothing thermal insulation (clo level) and metabolic rate (Met) are one of the important parameters as well as environmental factors such as air temperature (Ta) and humidity. In general, a fixed clo level is commonly used for controlling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning using the thermal comfort index. However, a fixed clo level can lead to errors for estimating the thermal comfort of occupants, because clo levels
