Apartment Air Quality Varies Greatly... Fine Dust Reduction Design Gains Spotlight

'Ssangyong The Platinum Omokcheon Station' Bird's-eye View

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] With the emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and fine dust issues, interest in apartment fine dust filtering systems is growing.

According to the real estate industry on the 17th, in the case of apartments in urban areas, fine dust reduction facilities and natural environments where residents can enjoy leisure have become important factors.

An industry official said, "Recently, due to the burden of holding taxes such as comprehensive real estate tax and property tax, multi-homeowners are putting their properties on the market, sparking a 'smart one home' boom again," adding, "Competition for apartment designs suitable for actual residence is expected to become more intense."

In fact, this year’s urban area pre-sales are expected to see fierce competition not only in fine dust-related design specializations but also in large-scale landscaping designs with natural air purification functions.

Currently, Ssangyong Construction’s 'Ssangyong The Platinum Omokcheon Station' applies fine dust reduction designs both inside and outside the apartment. First, fine dust detection sensors are installed inside each unit, and when indoor fine dust levels are high, clean ventilation automatically operates. Through a four-stage filter system, it plans to implement air purification and ventilation functions that remove more than 99% of indoor dust.

In the bathrooms, a layered piping method that reduces drainage noise is also applied. Eco-friendly finishing materials are used inside the units to promote a generally healthy living space.

As a natural air purification feature, the complex’s landscaping includes approximately 11,000㎡ of green space to enhance residential comfort. The green space will feature themed streets lined with cherry and maple trees, a central plaza formed by a pine forest, themed playgrounds for children, fitness facilities for residents, and community gardens for residents, all designed as eco-friendly landscaping facilities.

'Ssangyong The Platinum Omokcheon Station' is located in 482-2 Omokcheon-dong, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City, and consists of 10 apartment buildings ranging from four basement floors to 22 above-ground floors, with a total of 930 households. Among them, 713 units with exclusive areas of 39 to 84㎡ will be available for general sale.

Hyundai Construction is introducing a clean system in the 'Hillstate Bupyeong' project currently on sale. HEPA filter heat exchangers are installed inside the units, and a built-in cleaner (paid option) is provided at the entrance to help reduce fine dust.

This complex is a large-scale redevelopment project in Baegun 2 District, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City, with a total of 1,409 households ranging from 46 to 84㎡ in exclusive area. Among them, 837 units will be available for general sale.

HDC Hyundai Development Company’s 'Sokcho 2nd I-Park,' which opened its model house on the 21st of last month, will install the HDC Smart Air Quality Management System (optional balcony expansion type) that allows residents to monitor fine dust information and manage indoor air along with a ventilation system inside the units.

In the complex’s playground, security lights integrated with fine dust concentration displays will also be applied. This complex is located in 415 Joyang-dong, Sokcho City, Gangwon Province, and consists of six buildings ranging from two basement floors to 29 above-ground floors, with exclusive areas of 79 to 156㎡ and a total of 578 households.
