The key to monitoring airflows and mitigating related problems is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of pressure relationships within the buildings. This study proposes a visualization method for representing pressure distribution within a multi-zone building by using a novel pressure-sensing system. The system consists of a Master device and a couple of Slave devices that are connected with each other by a wireless sensor network. A 4-story office building and a 49-story residential building were installed with the system to detect pressure variations. The spatial and numerical mapping relationships of each zone were further determined through grid-forming and coordinate-establishing processes for the building floor plan. Lastly, 2D and 3D visualized pressure mappings of each floor were generated, illustrating the pressure difference and spatial relationship between adjacent zones. It is expected that the pressure mappings derived from this study will allow building operators to intuitively perceive the pressure variations and the spatial layouts of the zones. These mappings also make it possible for operators to diagnose the differences in pressure conditions between adjacent zones and plan a control scheme for the HVAC system more efficiently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23084116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T02:01:11Z","timestamp":1681956071000},"page":"4116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Sensing-Based Visualization Method for Representing Pressure Distribution in a Multi-Zone Building by Floor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jiajun","family":"Jing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architectural Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0515-0297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong-Seok","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architectural Engineering, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaewan","family":"Joe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Architecture, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2296-4519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eui-Jong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Architecture, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young-Hum","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae-Hun","family":"Jo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Architecture, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107368","DOI":"10.1016\/j.buildenv.2020.107368","article-title":"Review and Comparison of HVAC Operation Guidelines in Different Countries during the COVID-19 Pandemic","volume":"187","author":"Guo","year":"2021","journal-title":"Build.
