After that, the first exterior wall 34 and the second exterior wall 74 are installed. As a result, the first wall body 30 and the second wall body 70 are formed as shown in Figure 1.
[0062] Finally, a duct section 50 and a partition wall 52 are provided. Specifically, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, studs 55 are provided inside the interior space defined by the first floor 20, the first wall 30, and the first ceiling 40, and a partition wall 52 is constructed by fixing a first board 53 and a second board 54 to the studs 55, thereby dividing the interior space shown in Figure 1 into two, forming rooms B1-1 and B1-2. An opening is then formed in the first floor 20 near the partition wall 52 to form a second wall ventilation layer W2. Furthermore, a duct board 51 is provided to separate the second wall ventilation layer W2 from the interior space of room B1-1 or room B1-2. This completes the formation of the duct section 50 and the partition wall 52. However, this is not limited to this. Multiple duct sections 50 may be provided. The opening for forming the second wall ventilation layer W2 may be formed before the formation of the partition wall 52. Multiple partition walls 52 may be provided to form rooms separate from rooms B1-1 and B1-2. The duct section 50 and partition wall 52 may also be formed in room B2. As shown in Figures 9 to 11, the duct section 50 and partition wall 52 are formed after the first wall body 30 and the second wall body 70 are formed.
[0063] Next, the operating mode of the airtight structure 1 will be described.
[0064] First, the first fan 30a and the second fan 70a of the airtight structure 1 shown in Figure 1 are activated. The first fan 30a and the second fan 70a cause the air inside rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2 to flow into the first wall ventilation layer W1 and the third wall ventilation layer W3.
[0065] A portion of the air that flows into the first wall ventilation layer W1 descends through the first wall ventilation layer W1 and is discharged outdoors through the first exhaust port 34a. The remaining portion of the air that flows into the first wall ventilation layer W1 rises through the first wall ventilation layer W1 and flows into the third wall ventilation layer W3, where it merges with the air inside the third wall ventilation layer W3. The air flowing through the first wall ventilation layer W1 acts as an air curtain, delaying the transfer of cold or heat from the first exterior wall 34, which is heated or cooled by the cold or heat outside, to the first interior material 31 that constitutes one side of rooms B1-1 and B1-2, thereby providing insulation. Furthermore, the first wall insulation material 33, which is provided on the side of the first interior material 31 facing the first wall ventilation layer W1, further delays the transfer of cold or heat to the first interior material 31.
[0066] A portion of the air flowing into the third wall ventilation layer W3 descends through the third wall ventilation layer W3 and flows into the first wall ventilation layer W1, where it merges with the air inside the first wall ventilation layer W1. The remaining portion of the air flowing into the third wall ventilation layer W3 rises through the third wall ventilation layer W3 and flows into the second ceiling space C2. The air flowing through the third wall ventilation layer W3 acts as an air curtain, delaying the transfer of cold or heat from the second exterior wall 74, which is heated or cooled by the cold or heat outside, to the second interior material 71 that constitutes one side of room B2, thereby providing insulation. Furthermore, the second wall insulation material 73, which is provided on the side of the second interior material 71 facing the third wall ventilation layer W3, further delays the transfer of cold or heat to the second interior material 71.
[0067] The air that flows into the second ceiling space C2 is discharged to the outside through the second exhaust port 90a. The air flowing through the second ceiling space C2 acts as an air curtain, delaying the transfer of cold air or heat from the roof 90, which is heated or cooled by the cold air or heat outside, to the ceiling board 81, thereby providing insulation. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the ceiling insulation material 83 provided on the side of the second ceiling 80 facing the second ceiling space C2 further delays the transfer of cold air or heat to the ceiling board 81.
[0068] As described above, the indoor air in rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2 is discharged to the outside through the first wall ventilation layer W1, the third wall ventilation layer W3, and the second ceiling space C2, via the first exhaust port 34a and the second exhaust port 90a. As a result, the amount of indoor air in rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2 decreases, the air pressure drops, and air flows into rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2.
[0069] Specifically, air from the first ceiling space C1 flows into the room B1-1 through the ceiling vent 40a of the first ceiling 40 of room B1-1. By operating the air conditioner E installed in the ceiling vent 40a at this time, the air from the first ceiling space C1 can be more efficiently drawn into the room B1-1.
[0070] Then, the air that flows into room B1-1 flows into room B1-2 through door D, which is located between room B1-1 and room B1-2. Furthermore, the air that flows into room B1-1 flows into room B2 through staircase S located in room B1-2.
[0071] After the air from the first ceiling space C1 flows into the rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2, the amount of air in the first ceiling space C1 decreases, the air pressure drops, and air flows back into the first ceiling space C1.
[0072] Specifically, air from the second wall ventilation layer W2, which is connected to the first ceiling space C1, flows into the first ceiling space C1. As the amount of air in the second wall ventilation layer W2 decreases and the air pressure drops, air from the underfloor space U, which is connected to the first ceiling space C1, flows into the first ceiling space C1. The air that flows from the underfloor space U to the first ceiling space C1 via the second wall ventilation layer W2 flows upward (in the +Z axis direction), so dust and debris contained in the air are pulled downward (in the -Z axis direction) by gravity, preventing them from rising with the air and thus preventing them from reaching the first ceiling space C1.
[0073] Furthermore, as the amount of air in the underfloor space U decreases, the air pressure drops, and outside air flows into the underfloor space U through the foundation ventilation holes 13 of the foundation 10 that forms the underfloor space U.
[0074] In the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, the air flowing through the first wall ventilation layer W1, the third wall ventilation layer W3, and the second ceiling space C2 forms an air curtain, providing thermal insulation. Furthermore, in the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, when the air from the underfloor space U flowing into the first ceiling space C1 passes through the second wall ventilation layer W2, the dust and debris contained in the air from the underfloor space U are shaken off by their own weight, thus suppressing the amount of dust and debris contained in the air flowing from the first ceiling space C1 to rooms B1-1, B1-2, and B2.
[0075] In an airtight structure where air flowing through the first wall ventilation layer W1, the third wall ventilation layer W3, and the second ceiling space C2 forms an air curtain and provides insulation, even a small gap allows air to enter and exit, reducing the insulation effect. Furthermore, in building A, there are always objects 200, such as electrical outlets and pipes, that penetrate the first interior material 31 or the second interior material 71, and there is ventilation between the first wall 30 and the second wall 70 and the interior space. Therefore, if the interior of the first wall 30 and the second wall 70 is ventilated to, for example, the outside or the ceiling, air will enter and exit from the interior space, reducing the insulation effect. However, in the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, for example, as shown in Figure 12, even if an object 200 is present, the sealant 32c, 72c and sealant 22d, 31a, 71a (not shown) prevent ventilation between the interior of the first wall 30 and the second wall 70 and the outside, ceiling, underfloor (not shown), thus further improving the thermal insulation effect.
[0076] In conventional airtight structures, if the inside of the wall is not ventilated to the outside, ceiling, etc., condensation occurs due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. This condensation becomes trapped inside the wall, causing deterioration of the insulation material inside the wall and damage to the beams and studs. In the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the air flowing through the first wall ventilation layer W1, the third wall ventilation layer W3, and the second ceiling space C2 acts as an air curtain, providing insulation, so condensation is less likely to occur inside the first wall 30 and the second wall 70. Therefore, in the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 12, the sealants 32c, 72c, and sealants 22d, 31a, 71a (not shown) prevent the inside of the first wall 30 and the second wall 70 from ventilating to the outside, ceiling, under the floor (not shown), etc., thus further improving the insulation effect.
[0077] In conventional airtight structures, after installing columns A2, first wall support members 32, second wall support members 72, and studs 55, the first interior material 31, first wall plywood 32a, second interior material 71, and second wall plywood 72a were fixed in place. Conventional partition walls 52 were formed by fixing the first interior material 31 and second interior material 71 to the studs 55. In conventional airtight structures, gaps were created between the first interior material 31 and second interior material 71 of the partition wall 52 and the first interior material 31 and second interior material 71 of the first wall body 30 and second wall body 70. Indoor air entered and exited the first wall body 30 and second wall body 70 through these gaps, reducing the thermal insulation effect. In the airtight structure 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the duct section 50 and partition wall 52 are formed after the first wall body 30 and second wall body 70 are formed. Since there are no gaps between the first interior material 31 and the second interior material 71 of the partition wall 52 and the first interior material 31 and the second interior material 71 of the first wall body 30 and the second wall body 70, the thermal insulation effect can be further improved. Although air flows in the space partitioned by the partition wall 52, the movement of air within the interior space partitioned by the first wall body 30 and the second wall body 70 does not reduce the thermal insulation effect of the building A as a whole.
[0078] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.
[0079] In the above embodiment, the duct section 50 is provided between rooms B1-1 and B1-2, as shown in Figure 1, and the second wall ventilation layer W2 is in communication with the first ceiling space C1. However, it is not limited to this. For example, room B2 may be divided into two rooms, and the duct section 50 may also be provided between the two rooms of room B2. Furthermore, the second wall ventilation layer W2 may be in communication with, for example, the ceiling space above the second ceiling 80, or the second ceiling space C2.
[0080] In the above embodiment, the air in the underfloor space U is connected to the interior space of building A by the second wall ventilation layer W2 and the first ceiling space C1. However, it is not limited to this. The air in the underfloor space U only needs to be connected to the interior space of building A. For example, the air in the underfloor space U may be connected directly to the interior space from the second wall ventilation layer W2 by an air conditioner E installed in the first board 53 or the second board 54.
[0081] In the above embodiment, the partition wall 52 is provided together with the duct section 50. Furthermore, the partition wall 52 may be provided separately.
[0082] The present invention can be implemented in various forms and modified without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the invention. The embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
