A sandwich panel is a composite material composed of a double-sided noncombustible material and insulation core which is used in the inner, outer walls, and roof structure of a building. Despite its excellent insulation performance, light weight and excellent constructability, a flame is brought into the inside of the panel through the joint between the panels, melting the core easily and causing casualties and property damage due to the rapid spread of flame. The current Building Law provides that the combustion performance of finishing materials for buildings should be determined using a fire test on a small amount of specimen and only a product that passes the stipulated performance standard should be used. This law also provides that in the case of finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings, only materials that secured noncombustible or quasi-noncombustible performance should be used or flame spread prevention (FSP) should be installed. The purpose of this study was to confirm the difference between the dangers of horizontal and vertical fire spread by applying FSP, which is applied to finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings limitedly to a sandwich panel building. Therefore, the combustion behavior and effects on the sandwich panel according to the application of FSP were measured through the construction to block the spread of flame between the panels using a full scale fire according to the test method specified in ISO 13784-1 and a metallic structure. The construction of FSP on the joint between the panels delayed the spread of flame inside the panels and the flash over time was also delayed, indicating that it could become an important factor for securing the fire safety of a building constructed using complex materials.

공동주택에서 2025년 정부가 추진하고 있는 Zero Energy 건축물 구현과 친환경에 대한 탄소배출 저감 문제로 재생에너지 생산시스템의 추가 적용은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 공동주택 적용 및 활용성을 높일 수 있는 BIPV시스템 개발을 통하여 설치면적 확보와 세대 활용성을 높일 수 있도록 하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 거실 창호의 경우 주방향이 남향, 남동 또는 남서향으로 배치되어 태양광을 적용하기에 적합한 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 창호는 건물외피의 역할과 재실자가 조망과 정보취득을 얻을 수 있는 중요한 통로가 되기 때문에 단열 문제나 시야 차폐의 문제는 발생하지는 않도록 하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 a-si타입 모듈 2개를 10% 투과율로 Bsck Coating 색상을 달리한 모듈과 c-si BIPV 모듈을 커튼월 창호시스템으로 개발, 일반 2중 창호시스템과 비교 평가를 위해 실제 Test bed 건물에 시공하여 시환경 및 실내 창측면 온도변화 측정 분석을 진행하였다. 현재 국내외 출시되고 있는 a-si see through 모듈은 10~30%의 투과율로 창 마감재로 대체가 가능하나 건축 환경(시환경,열환경)에 대한 분석은 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 시환경과 창유리면의 열 부하, 자외선, 적외선 차폐 및 가시광선의 투과율에 대한 평가와 Back Coating에 따른 색온도 평가를 통해서 a-si BIPV의 공동주택 세대 발코니 창호 적합성에 대한 검토를 진행하였다. 연구결과는 아래와 같다. ${\bullet}$ 실내조도는 청천공 정오기준 가시성 확보 모듈의 경우 2,300 ~ 3,500lx를 나타내고 있어 대비 현상이나 창측의 급격한 조도 변화가 적은 시환경 구축이 가능 ${\bullet}$ 12시경 휘도는 창측면, 실내 벽체, 코너 바닥면을 대상으로 a-si BIPV 모듈을 적용한 경우 휘도비가 12:1로 KS나 IESNA의 광원과 근접면의 비 20:1 범위에 모두 존재, 적합한 것으로 분석되었으나 c-si의 경우는 그림자로 인한 대비 현상이 발생, 작업 시환경 문제 발생. ${\bullet}$ 이중시스템 창호와 비교하여 단열 성능 떨어짐. 발전시간대 창유리 면 온도 상승 으로 하절기 냉방부하 증가. ${\bullet}$ 자외선은 100% 가까이 차단, 적외선은 13~42%만 투과되고 가시광선은 13% 투과율을 나타내어 일반 창에 칼라 코팅을 적용하는 것과 유사한 경향을 나타냄.

This study is to derive from the required performances and the optimum mix proportion of the roof concrete placed in the in-ground LNG storage tank with a capacity of 200000 $m^3$, and propose the actual data for site concrete work. The concrete placing work without sliding and segregation in the fresh concrete condition is very important because the slope of domed roof is varied in the large range by its curvature. Also the control of hydration heat and the strength development at test ages are classified with massive section about 1.4 m thick and considered to the pre-stressing work and removal of air support after concrete placing work. Considering above condition, slump range is selected $100{\pm}25$ mm under the slope $20^{\circ}$ and $150{\pm}25$ mm over the slope $20^{\circ}$ s until 60 minutes of elapsed time. Also, the roof concrete is satisfied with compressive strength range including design strength at 91 days (30 MPa), pre-stressing work at 7 days (10 MPa), air support removal work at 21 days (14 MPa). Replacement ratio of limestone powder is determined by confined water ratio test and main design factors include water-cement ratio (W/C), sand-aggregate ratio and dosage of admixture. As test results, the optimum mix proportion of the roof concrete used low heat cement is as followings. 1) Replacement ratio of limestone powder 25% by confined water ratio test 2) Water-cement ratio 57.8% 3) Sand-aggregate ratio 42.0%. Also, test results for the adiabatic temperature rising test is satisfied with its criteria and shown the lower value compared to preceding storage tank (TK-13, 14). These required performances and the optimum mix proportion is to apply the actual construction work.

The establishment of a green remodeling strategy is focused on technology, so the necessity of establishing a customized strategy considering the field situation has emerged. This paper examined the technology strategy through sensitivity analysis as a methodology for guiding strategy. For a 90-square-meter detached house, nine models of the construction standards of pre-1980s, 1984, and 2010 in Seoul, Daejeon, and Busan were assessed using the optimization method that combines the energy plus engine and the ModeFrontier. Sensitivity analysis was performed, and the remodeling strategy priority was derived. For pre-1980 models, the strategy for enhancing the roof insulation performance had a significant priority. The SHGC values of the windows were found to have the next highest priority regardless of the region and the time of completion, showing that the performance standard, including the SHGC, needs to be expanded. The possibility of remodeling while maintaining the existing geometry was confirmed because the adjustment of the window wall ratio accompanying large-scale demolition works has low priority. The priorities of technology strategies in each case showed very different patterns, suggesting the possibility of establishing a remodeling strategy by a comprehensive evaluation along with economics and constructability analysis.

This study investigates and analyzes the total amount of energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission during the material manufacturing, transportation, construction, operation, and disposal phases of eight elementary school buildings in South Korea. Toward this ends, the hybrid LCA model is proposed. The life cycle energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission of eight case buildings are assessed using the hybrid LCA model with an assumption that the operation period is 40 years. As a result, the embodied(sum of the energy consumption in the material manufacturing, transportation and construction phases), operational and disposal energy were 2,279, 11,182, $228Mcal/m^2$, respectively, on average. The average embodied, operational, and disposal $CO_2$ emission were 604, 2,708, 60 kg-$CO_2/m^2$, respectively, on average. This result indicates that about 17% of life cycle energy (or $CO_2$ emission) is consumed in the material manufacturing, transportation and construction phases. Thus, it is necessary to consider the embodied energy and $CO_2$ emission to reduce the life cycle energy and $CO_2$ emission of school buildings. In addition, while the insulation standard of building have been provided based on the climate zone, energy consumption in operation phase still varied depending on the regions in this study. Thus, the insulation standard of building needs to be improved through considering the climate of regions in detail.

This study has been conducted to present reform recommendations for Standardization of Construction Materials, based on a study on the Investigation of Demander's Consciousness for Construction Materials Quality and Information Standardization in Korea. Upon investigation, it was found that the quality of Korea Industrial Standards (KS) was given 67 points (out of 100) by respondents. In addition, 38% of the respondents showed that they had problems with a lack of Standardized Information. Good examples were found to be non-standardized materials, e.g. admixtures, waterproof agents, reinforcing fibers, concrete, aggregates, adhesives, wood, temporary materials, thermal-insulating materials, etc. Upon results from the investigation of demander's consciousness for infrastructure of standardization of information, 71.2% of respondents thought that it is necessary to informatize construction materials. They made following demands on the informatization to be, in order: Quality, Standard, Price (Cost), Operation, Drawing, Law, and Information.

This study evaluated the energy efficiency of a windows system using built-in blinds, with regard to their insulation performance and their blocking of solar radiation. The study took advantage of the "Physibel Voltra" program as a physical simulation of heat transfer. To simulate the "Physibel Voltra" program, I practiced a mock-up test to determine heating quality and translation condition. I analyzed the propensity to annual energy consumption, the annual quantity of heat transfer, and the annual cooling and heating cost through a computer simulation for one general household in an apartment building. In the test, it was found that compared to a general windows system, a windows system with built-in blinds reduced the annual heat transfer by 10% in cooling states and by 11% in heating states when the blind was up. When the blind was down, the windows system with built-in blinds reduced the annual heat transfer by 25% in cooling states and 30% in heating states. When a windows system with built-in blinds is compared with a general windows system, the quantity of cooling and heating loads is reduced by 283.3kw in cooling states and 76.3kw in heating states. This leads to a reduction in the required cooling and heating energy of 359.6kw per house. It is thus judged that the use of a windows system with built-in blinds is advantageous in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because the annual TOE (tons of oil equivalent) per house is reduced by 0.078TOE, while $tCO_2$ is reduced by $0.16tCO_2$. In addition, compared with a general windows system, the cost of cooling and heating loads in the system reduces the annual cooling cost by 100,000won, and the annual heating cost by 50,000won. Ultimately, this means that cooling and heating loads are cut by 150,000won per year.

In summer and winter, the difference between the temperature during the day and that during the night is high, which leads to various problems during concrete placement, such as cracks and defects in the concrete as well as low durability and strength. Although nuclear power plant concrete is widely used for placement in all seasons, particular attention must be paid to its quality during the summer. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of a cooling method for mixing water, which is a commonly used hot weather precooling method, and the use of a retarder, on the characteristics of Nuclear Power Plant concrete. In the cooling method for mixing water, cold water at 5 was used, with 50% of the water content consisting of ice flakes. The effects of using a retarder were evaluated by reviewing the characteristics of the cement at the unset stage and after hardening. To evaluate the characteristics of the unset cement, we measured the slump, air volumes, setting times, and pressure strengths after hardening. Furthermore, we measured the heat of hydration at different temperatures; the loss of heat was minimized using insulation. Both the slump time and the complete ageing time of the air volume were found to be 120 min at $20^{\circ}C$ and 40 min at $40^{\circ}C$. In the case when the cooling method for mixing water was used and in the case when a retarder was used, the initial and final sets by penetration resistance were delayed, and the delay decreased with increasing air temperature. For the heat of hydration, the cooling method for mixing water not only lowered the maximum temperature but also delayed its attainment. However, the use of a retarder had no effect on the maximum temperature. Moreover, in the early ages (e.g., 3 and 7 days), the pressure strength of the concrete was lower than that of plain cement. However, the strength of 28-day concrete met the standard construction specifications.
