To reduce costs and address other practical concern related to architectural lighting, we have been involved in various aspects of advanced daylighting design and control. If we look toward future building trends, we see that the advanced has already successfully deployed such complex lighting control systems. This paper takes a broad view of what advanced manufacturers have done to develop energy efficient lighting control technologies such as sensors, lumen maintenance, time of day scheduling, peak demand reduction and so forth. First of all strategies, daylighting controls would also need to be commissioned to respond to the specific daylighting signature of the zone. To translate the daylight in term of the amount of energy savings, an electric lighting system is designed and automatic on-off control system integrated with the contribution of daylighting has been applied to the operating of the artificial lighting. The lighting analysis program, Lumen-Micro predicts the optimal layout of conventional fluorescent and incandescent lighting fixtures to meet the designed lighting level and calculates unit power density, which translates the demanded amount of lighting energy.

ATES(Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage) 열펌프 시스템은 기존의 다양한 열원 적용 시스템 대비 효율이 우수한 것으로 알려져 유럽과 미국에서 건물 냉난방 시스템으로 적용되고 있다. 특히, ATES 시스템은 기존의 냉난방 시스템 대비 경제성이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으나 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구 결과는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 ATES 열펌프 시스템의 실증 성능 결과를 분석하였으며, LNG 보일러와 에어컨을 사용하는 기존의 냉난방 시스템을 비교시스템으로 ATES 열펌프 시스템의 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. ATES 시스템의 연간 실증 성능 실험결과 ATES 시스템은 외기온도와 무관하게 연중 안정적인 성능을 나타내었다. 경제성 평가시에 생애주기법(Life Cycle Cost)을 적용하여 ATES 열펌프 시스템의 설치 및 운전에 필요한 총 소요비용을 산정하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 투자회수기간법을 통해 ATES 시스템의 투자회수 기간을 산정하였다. 생애주기법 적용 시에 현재가치법을 사용하였으며, 현재가치법은 수명주기에 발생하는 모든 투자비용과 절감액을 일정한 시점을 기준으로 등가환산하는 방법을 의미한다. 현재가치법에 사용되는 현재가치는 초기비용과 현재가치계수의 곱으로 나타나는데, 여기에서 현재가치계수는 임의의 이자율로 일정기간 동안 정기적인 할부금액이 적립될 때의 현재금액을 구하기 위해 사용하는 계수를 의미한다. 전기와 LNG는 각각 2009년 7월의 (주)한국전력공사와 (주)한국가스공사의 고시요금을 적용하였다. 본 시스템은 실증 설비용량인 20RT를 대상 건물로 가정하였고, 초기투자비는 크게 공사비와 냉난방 설비 구입비로 구성되어 있으며, 기본적인 물가지표는 (사)한국물가정보(KPI)의 고시 데이터를 참조하였다. 각 시스템의 초기투자비는 ATES 시스템이 비교대상 기존 냉난방 시스템 대비 5.7배 높게 나타났다. 일일 8시간 사용기준으로 계절별 전력요금을 고려한 연간운전 비용은 ATES 시스템이 기존 시스템 대비 냉난방 시에 각각 77%와 16%를 나타내어 운전비용이 연간 절감되었고, 난방 운전 시 절감 비율이 냉방시보다 크게 나타났다. 두 시스템에 대한 생애주기비용을 산정하기 위하여 에어컨과 보일러의 기존시스템과 ATES 시스템의 가용연수를 모두 20년으로 설정하였고, 유지보수 비용은 초기투자비용의 2%로 설정하고, 할인율은 은행 예금이자를 기준으로 5%로 설정하였다. 전기와 LNG의 요금 상승률은 (사)한국물가정보를 바탕으로 각각 2%와 8%로 가정하였다. 이러한 조건에서 생애주기법을 이용한 경제성평가는 ATES 시스템의 경우 생애운전비용이 초기투자비용보다 작게 나타났으며, 기존 냉난방 시스템은 생애운전비용이 초기투자비용에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 대상 ATES 열펌프 시스템의 실증 성능 데이터와 기존 문헌으로부터 얻은 냉난방 시스템의 성능 결과를 이용하여 생애주기 비용을 적용한 결과 ATES 시스템의 기존 시스템 대비 투자회수 기간은 6.62년으로 나타났다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 ATES 시스템이 국내 최초로 적용됨에 따라 스크린 등의 부품을 다소 고가의 제품으로 시스템에 적용하였으므로 ATES 시스템의 신뢰성과 안정성이 확보되면 초기 투자비 감소가 가능할 것으로 예상되며, 기존 시스템 대비 투자회수 기간은 더욱 감소될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

기후변화와 도시화로 인한 영향으로 도시의 폭우, 폭염을 비롯한 현상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 특히 시가화 지역의 높은 불투수율은 도시홍수를 야기한다. 이러한 현상을 완화하기 위해 도시지역에서는 그린인프라와 저영향개발이 도입되고 있다. 그 중 지속가능한 발전을 위한 필수요소로 자리매김한 옥상녹화는 도시에 위치한 건물의 상층부와 내부의 온도를 낮춤으로써 에너지절감효과와 강우 시 빗물을 저류함으로써 우수유출 저감효과, 그리고 도시 공간 내 녹지도입으로 인한 이산화탄소 배출 저감 효과 등을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열섬현상완화와 유출 저감의 방안 중 하나인 옥상녹화(Green roof)의 효과를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 콘크리트로 이루어진 동일한 제원의 실험동을 구축하고, 실험동 내외부의 온도, 습도, 강우, 풍속, 일사량 등의 기상자료를 측정할 수 있는 센서를 설치하였다. 각 실험동에서 측정된 기상요소를 Flux Profile Method를 적용하여 공간 내에 있는 열에너지의 총량인 순복사열을 구성하는 현열속, 잠열속, 토양열속(H, LE, G)을 산정하였다. 또한 에너지 평형에 따라 산정된 각 실험동의 열속과 지표면 복사량 관측자료을 정량적으로 비교하여 옥상녹화의 적용성을 평가하였다. 2021년 7월 21일부터 2021년 7월 28일 까지 모니터링한 결과 옥상녹화의 열 효율은 일반 콘크리트 지붕에 비해 실내온도가 최대 6.83℃ 낮게 나타나며 이는 여름철 건물 내부의 온도조절에 필요한 에너지 저감효과를 볼 수 있다. Flux Profile Method를 적용한 결과 옥상녹화의 전체 열속 중 현열속 28.5% 잠열속 70.7%, 토양열속 0.5% 의 복사량 분포를 보였고, 일반 콘크리트 지붕은 현열속 45.3%, 잠열속 38.6%, 토양열속 16.2% 으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 방법은 옥상녹화의 정량적 평가를 가능하게 함으로서 향후 기후변화 대응방안 및 전략 수립 시 옥상녹화의 온도저감효과 분석에 적극 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

K-BEMS System was introduced to reduce peak load and to save total energy of the 200 buildings that KEPCO headquarter and branch offices use. And K-BEMS system is composed of PV, battery, and hybrid PCS. KEPCO research institute has carried out this K-BEMS research project for 3 years since January 2016. In this paper, the results of the project are shown. 9 modes of test results of K-BEMS system and are operational problems were analyzed. And measures to cure the trouble are also suggested. Batteries are operated more than 20% of SOC, and less than 20% of SOC battery protection switches are automatically shutting down the system and the system no longer respond to EMS, ending the supply of PV, and so therefore to continue the PV power supply it was turn out to be necessary that the EMS should automatically change its policy to change PV only supply mode automatically when the Battery Switch automatically operated. To operate the system continuously and automatically, it is necessary to modify the minimum operational SOC value, and in addition to that the EMS computer must remember the last shut-down SOC and Voltage which interrupted the system and add some margin to reflect the measurement error in the system.

This study was done to reduce total energy demand based on resource shortage problems and to provide improvement points for more efficient adjustment of the high insulation standards for saving energy in Korea. The demand sensitivity was fully considered by varying the slope of each building. The energy performance of the building was maximized by the introduction of outdoor air at night. A final low-energy building model was developed with the two measures combined, and the short-term operation of the night-fuzzy ventilation system was simulated. The result showed a reduction of about 6 to 7 percent compared to the base model. The results could have many implications in terms of the need to conduct demand sensitivity analyses in architectural design.

The energy consumed by buildings among the total national energy consumption is more than 10% of the total. For this reason, Korea has adopted the zero energy building policy since 2025, and research on the energy saving technology of buildings has been demanded. Analysis of buildings' energy consumption patterns shows that lighting, heating and cooling energy account for more than 60% of total energy consumption, which is directly related to solar power acquisition and window opening and closing operation. In this paper, we have developed a low - power IoT sensor module for window system to transfer acquired information to building energy management system. This module transmits the external environment and window opening / closing status information to the building energy management system in real time, and constructs the network to actively take energy saving measures. The power used in the module is designed as an independent power source using solar power among the harvest energy. The topology of the power supply is a Buck converter, which is charged at 4V to the lithium ion battery through MPPT control, and the efficiency is about 85.87%. Communication is configured to be able to transmit in real time by applying WiFi. In order to reduce the power consumption of the module, we analyzed the hardware and software aspects and implemented a low power IoT sensor module.

In this study, the flow effect of warming and cooling in the air supply of a pit for air conditioning were evaluated in BS art museum. We simulated the flow temperature for a pit winter and summer seasons using computational fluid dynamics. Consequential, energy saving, energy saving costs and initial payback periods were calculated and the following conclusions were drawn. The warming effect of the winter increased by $18.1^{\circ}C$ and $0.2^{\circ}C/m$ and the cooling effect of the summer decreased by $6.1^{\circ}C$ and dropped to $0.07^{\circ}C/m$. Energy saving appeared to be 19.1 kW in the summer and 54.3 kW in winter. Energy saving costs ranged from 2,567,119 won/year to 5,134,238 won/year and at minimum, initial payback period for initial investment was 3.9 years. As a result, the air supply system using an existing pit without any burden on initial investment costs is believed to contribute to energy saving through warming and cooling of unutilized energy effects.

The purposes of the present study are to investigate the characteristics of heat storage and emission of the PCM($CalCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$) panel, and to analyze the distribution of indoor air temperature in a floor heating space with PCM panels for the heating system. Two identical unit test cells sized $1.8m^W{\times}1.8m^L{\times}1.8m^H$ were built and installed with specially designed aluminium Ondol-panels. It held 1.2kg of calcium chloride hexahydrate(CCH). It was found that PCM panels could reduce the indoor air temperature fluctuations and maintain the phase changing temperature for considerably long duration, $2{\sim}3$ times longer in heating hour over no-CCH one. When the elapsed time was 6 hours, the average temperature difference between PCM panel and Ondol panel was $7.7^{\circ}C$.
