The purpose of this paper is to examine the situation of Indoor Air Quality environment as to the kitchen in the group housing, and to present appropriate improvement device in the kitchen indoor air ventilation through the survey, measurement methods. The conclusions are as follows; (1) Especially, the contaminated air situation of the kitchen area spreads wide in open plan between living and kitchen by the characters of architectural plan type and occupant's behavior habits. Therefore, we need to control IAQ, and should renew range hood system for active ventilation importation.(2) The using condition of gas-range, ventilation hood, the number of smokers, the various behavior of occupant's influence IAQ level, for example, the consistency of CO2exceeds a permitted limit by the gas-range using over 5 minutes.(3) Dust and CO2 exceed closely the allowable value level of the contamination, so, this paper claims to establish the permission limit related with the using of gas-range, the appropriates frequency of ventilation and the smoking in the group housing. (4) This paper indicates several points about the improvement of the current range-hood system. The important problem is the noise, so the diminution of the range-hood system noise needs to improve this part urgently. The second problem is the filter change and the cleaning of range-hood system without difficulty for ventilation route if this system actively air-supply and air-evacuation with synchronously.
