To investigate a method for calculation of the heating load for environmental designs of horticultural facilities, measurements of total heating load, infiltration rate, and floor heat flux in a large-scale plastic greenhouse were analyzed comparatively with the calculation results. Effects of ground heat exchange and infiltration loss on the greenhouse heating load were examined. The ranges of the indoor and outdoor temperatures were $13.3{\pm}1.2^{\circ}C$ and $-9.4{\sim}+7.2^{\circ}C$ respectively during the experimental period. It was confirmed that the outdoor temperatures were valid in the range of the design temperatures for the greenhouse heating design in Korea. Average infiltration rate of the experimental greenhouse measured by a gas tracer method was $0.245h^{-1}$. Applying a constant ventilation heat transfer coefficient to the covering area of the greenhouse was found to have a methodological problem in the case of various sizes of greenhouses. Thus, it was considered that the method of using the volume and the infiltration rate of greenhouses was reasonable for the infiltration loss. Floor heat flux measured in the center of the greenhouse tended to increase toward negative slightly according to the differences between indoor and outdoor temperature. By contrast, floor heat flux measured at the side of the greenhouse tended to increase greatly into plus according to the temperature differences. Based on the measured results, a new calculation method for ground heat exchange was developed by adopting the concept of heat loss through the perimeter of greenhouses. The developed method coincided closely with the experimental result. Average transmission heat loss was shown to be directly proportional to the differences between indoor and outdoor temperature, but the average overall heat transfer coefficient tended to decrease. Thus, in calculating the transmission heat loss, the overall heat transfer coefficient must be selected based on design conditions. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the experimental greenhouse averaged $2.73W{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}C^{-1}$, which represents a 60% heat savings rate compared with plastic greenhouses with a single covering. The total heating load included, transmission heat loss of 84.7~95.4%, infiltration loss of 4.4~9.5%, and ground heat exchange of -0.2~+6.3%. The transmission heat loss accounted for larger proportions in groups with low differences between indoor and outdoor temperature, whereas infiltration heat loss played the larger role in groups with high temperature differences. Ground heat exchange could either heighten or lessen the heating load, depending on the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. Therefore, the selection of a reference temperature difference is important. Since infiltration loss takes on greater importance than ground heat exchange, measures for lessening the infiltration loss are required to conserve energy.

In order to develope a mobile-based greenhouse energy calculation program, firstly, the overall thermal transmittance of 10 types of major covers and 16 types of insulation materials were measured. In addition, to estimate the overall thermal transmittance when the cover and insulation materials were installed in double or triple layers, 24 combinations of double installations and 59 combinations of triple installations were measured using the hotbox. Also, the overall thermal transmittance value for a single material and the thermal resistance value were used to calculate the overall thermal transmittance value at the time of multi-layer installation of covering and insulating materials, and the linear regression equation was derived to correct the error with the measured values. As a result of developing the model for estimating thermal transmittance when installing multiple layers of coverings and insulating materials based on the value of overall thermal transmittance of a single-material, the model evaluation index was 0.90 (good when it is 0.5 or more), indicating that the estimated value was very close to the actual value. In addition, as a result of the on-site test, it was evaluated that the estimated heat saving rate was smaller than the actual value with a relative error of 2%. Based on these results, a mobile-based greenhouse energy calculation program was developed that was implemented as an HTML5 standard web-based mobile web application and was designed to work with various mobile device and PC browsers with N-Screen support. It had functions to provides the overall thermal transmittance(heating load coefficient) for each combination of greenhouse coverings and thermal insulation materials and to evaluate the energy consumption during a specific period of the target greenhouse. It was estimated that an energy-saving greenhouse design would be possible with the optimal selection of coverings and insulation materials according to the region and shape of the greenhouse.

The objective of the present study is to provide the basic data necessary for estimating the overall heat transfer coefficient of commercial plastic greenhouse. The heat flow through covering of greenhouses was measured and the variation of overall heat transfer coefficient was analyzed. Because the inside-outside temperature difference of greenhouse to indicate the stabilized overall heat transfer coefficient was different depending on the number of covering layers, the actual overall heat transfer coefficient should be decided in range of inside-outside temperature difference to make the coefficient constant for each covering method. The variation trend of the overall heat transfer coefficient according to the inside-outside temperature difference corresponded with the existing research results, but the specific values of temperature difference to present the stabilized overall heat transfer coefficient were different each other. The increase rates of overall heat transfer coefficient with wind speed were quite dissimilar among several research results and the quantity of heat loss through covering according to the wind speed in the double layers covered or curtained greenhouse was less than that in the single layer covered greenhouse. Because there was large variations among the values of overall heat transfer coefficient for the polyethylene film greenhouses, it was required to establish the standardized environmental condition for experiment measuring heat flow through covering in commercial greenhouse.

건축물의 에너지 이용을 효율화하기 위하여 단열기준 등을 기존보다 20% 이상 강화하는 것을 골자로 하는 건축물의 에너지절약 설계기준(건설교통부 고시 제2001-118호)이 지난해 6월 1일부터 시행되고 있다. 개정 기준의 가장 큰 특징은 단열기준의 적용 부위를 외기에 직접 면한 부위와 간접 면한 부위로 구분하고, 지역을 중부와 남부, 제주도로 구분$\cdot$설정하여 부하조건과 에너지 소비특성에 따라 건축물의 단열기준을 세분화한 것이다. 특히, 종래에는 최하층 바닥에만 적용하였던 거실 바닥(온돌)의 단열기준을 중간층까지 확대$\cdot$적용하였고, 여기에 온돌시스템의 열적 특성을 고려하여 단열기준의 적용 부위를 보다 구체적으로 설정하고 있다. 따라서 종래의 온돌시스템에서 채움층으로 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 현장 타설식 경량기포콘크리트의 열전도율이 0.13W/mK 내외임을 고려한다면 현행 습식온돌시스템의 열관류율은 $1.0W/m^{2}K$ 이상이 될 것으로 예상됨으로서 앞으로 온돌시스템의 배관층 하부에 $1.0m^{2}K/W$ 이상의 열전도저항을 지닌 단열층이 구성되어야만 개정기준에서 정하는 열관류율 $0.81W/m^{2}K$(기준층 기준)의 성능과 배관하부의 열전도저항값 적용비율을 만족할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

For the main variables to be selected by the designer for the heating and cooling load calculation in greenhouses, in order to evaluate the effect of these design values on the heating and cooling load, the simulations were carried out by varying the respective design values. Based on these results, we proposed the design values which should pay special attention to selection. The design values which have the greatest effect on the heating load were the overall heat transfer coefficient of the covering material and the design outdoor temperature was next. The effect of the design values according to the number of spans showed little difference. In the case of the single-span greenhouse, the effect of the design values related to the underground heat transfer can not be ignored. However, in the case of the multi-span greenhouse, the effect of the design values related to the underground heat transfer and the infiltration rate were insignificant. The design values which have the greatest effect on the cooling load were the solar radiation into the greenhouse and the evapotranspiration coefficient, followed by the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the ventilation rate. The effect of the design values showed a great difference between the single-span greenhouse and the multi-span greenhouse, but there was almost no difference according to the number of spans. The effect of the overall heat transfer coefficient of the covering material was negligible in both the single-span greenhouse and the multi-span greenhouse. However, the effect of the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the ventilation rate on the cooling load was not negligible. Especially, it is considered that the effect is larger in multi-span greenhouse.

본고는 상업용 건물에 있어서의 냉난방부하에 대한 외벽의 축열(열용량)효과를 비교$\cdot$분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 가장 최근에 발표된 에너지 해석 프로그램인 DOE-2.1C를 이용하여 Berkeley Solar Group (BSG) 이 제안한 축열효과를 분석하였다. 본 고에서의 축열효과는 "delta load"로서 표현되어 있으며 "delta load"는 전형적인 나무구조 건물과 벽돌조 건물의 연간 냉난방부하의 차이로서 표시된다. BSG 보고서에 의하면 delta load는 (1)구조물의 위치와 관련한 단열방법 (2)벽의 열용량 (3)벽의 열관류을 (4)기후조건에 따라 달라진다고 되어 있다. 본 고에서의 delta load 계산은 중규모 사무소 건물을 대상으로 하였으며 Lake Charles, LA와 Madison, WI 기후 데이터를 사용하였는데 DOE-2.1C 사용에 의한 delta load는 BSG의 결과와 일반적으로 잘 조화가 되는 것으로 나타났으나 외주부의 방향에 따른 dalta load와 난방에 있어서는 다소 큰 차이를 보여 주고 있으며, 외단열과 중간열의 효과는 BSG의 결과와 마찬가지로 비슷하였다.

The primary goal of this research is to identify the impacts of window design on the energy use in buildings which takes up about 25% of the total energy consumption. Recently, efficient use of energy is gaining more importance in buildings. Window design, especially being dependent on glazing performance choices, is an important factor for reducing energy consumption in most of the buildings. It also is influenced by the latitude of the site and window orientation. This paper aims at identifying the influence of Window performance indicators(U-value, SHGC), orientation and latitude on the building energy consumption with systematically designed simulations. Comparative study has been performed for five different locations; Greenland, Korea, Singapore, Argentina and Chile along with the different window U-value and SHGC values. The results show that optimum window system with properly coordinated window performance indicators(U-value, SHGC), orientation achieves dramatic reduction of energy consumptions. Windows with low U-value could reduce heating loads and high SHGC could reduce cooling loads. The study also verifies that the windows installed at south facade is more energy efficient in the northern hemisphere while windows facing north is more energy efficient in the southern hemisphere.
