Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the life cycle cost of window glass with insulation film and regular glass, to verify an economical window construction method. As an approach method, the thermal performance data of each type of glass was measured using Window 6.3 and ECO2-OD Simulation Program, applied it to the case building to calculate the air conditioning and heating maintenance costs and LCC, and compared the economic feasibility. As a result, installing an additional insulation film prevents the solar heat penetration in the summer, so it reduces the cooling cost, on the other hand, it increased heating cost in winter. From the life cycle cost perspective, the effect of cooling cost reduction does not counterbalance the increase in heating cost and the additional cost from film installation and repair; therefore, the installation of insulation film may not be a proper method.

본 연구에서는 경제적인 창호공사 방안을 확인하기 위해 단열필름이 시공된 창호유리와 일반유리의 생애주기비용을 분석하여 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Window 6.3과 ECO2-OD 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 사용하여 유리 유형별 창호의 열성능 데이터를 측정하고 사례 건물에 적용하여 냉 난방 유지비용 및 LCC를 산출하여 경제성을 비교하였다. 연구결과 단열필름을 추가적으로 시공함으로써, 냉 난방 유지비용 측면에서는 하절기 태양열이 실내로 투과하는 것을 막아 냉방비용 절감 효과가 있지만, 이로 인해 동절기에는 난방비용이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 생애주기비용 측면에서 볼 때, 냉방비용 절감 효과가 난방비용 증가량과 필름 시공 및 수선으로 발생하는 추가비용을 상쇄하지 못하기 때문에 단열필름의 시공은 적절한 방법이 아니라고 할 수 있다.
