This paper introduces a sensor system based on indoor locations in order to implement the Building Energy Management System. This system consists of a thermopile sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor module is rotated by $360^{\circ}$ and yawed up-and-down by two electric motors. Therefore, it can simultaneously detect the number and location of the inhabitants in the room. It uses wireless technology to communicate with the building manager or the smart-home server, and it can save electric energy by controlling the lighting system or heating/air conditioning equipment automatically. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system by applying it to a real environment.

The Demand Response Market is a nation-wide power and energy management program of electric power demand response operated by KPX (Korea Power eXchange). Therefore, any savings could be determined by KEPCO's AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) data. However, the customers and the service providers participating in the market could not know the real time value due to the 15 minute or even more delayed AMR data communicated. Here, a new concept of a smart box has been introduced and demonstrated to provide the real time saving values compared to the current KEPCO's AMR data approach.

The parking management system can increase driver's convenience with detailed parking information service in the parking lot. At the same time, parking management system consumes non-negligible electrical energy with large amount of sensors, displays and control modules. With the increase in the demand for green and sustainable building design all over the world, it becomes a meaningful issue for parking management system to reduce operating power. This paper presents the preliminary design and estimated results of a parking management system which is optimized to reduce the power consumption mainly on detectors and displays. The system design is based on pre-developed wireless parking detectors, Park Tile and Park Disk. The system has a number of parking space detectors, vehicle count detectors, information displays, guidance terminals and other control units. We have performed system architecture design, communication network design, parking information service scenario planning, battery life regulation and at last operating power estimation. The estimated operating power was 0.93KW per parking-slot, which is 20% of traditional systems. The estimated annual maintenance cost was 18% of traditional systems.

The amount of smart phones has increased exponentially. Due to the periodic release of high-performance smart phones and upgraded operating system, new smart phones become out-dated over 1 or 2 years. In order to solve environmental constraints of these smart phones, virtualization technology using Thin-Client terminal has been developed. However, in the case of Virtual Machine(VM), the applications associated with sensors and a GPS device can not run because they are not included. In this paper, by implementing the device driver for Android running in a virtual machine in the x86-based systems, it is to provide Android virtualization capabilities such as using the latest smart phones in the virtual machine environment. It would like to propose a method that the virtual device driver receives sensors and GPS information from the old Android smart phones(Thin-Client) that actually work and run as if the real device exists.

Wireless sensor network devotes to improving energy efficient and reducing energy costs.We have to monitor in building for 24hours not to incur expansive energy costs in case of problem about a thermostat of buildings or logistics warehouse. It is to incur serious problems of safety of keeping products and a waste of energy. In this paper, establishes a logistics warehouses system based by Zigbee technology to solve that problem.

The purpose of this study is to execute economical analysis for two types of office building HVAC system using LCC technique : single vs, separated HVAC(equal partition installation, unequal partition installation) system. The research method of this study includes the case analysis and questionnaire surveys. The results of this study are as follows: (1) LCCs of 3 types of HVAC system are estimated and the most economical one is investigated as single HVAC system, (2) In this case study, the single HVAC system was investigated as 34% lower in LCC during 15 years per $100m^2$ compared to equal partition installation, as 41% compared to unequal partition installation.

Recently, smart buildings that can efficiently manage energy using ICT technology and operate and control through the building automation system by collecting data from a large number of IoT sensors in real time are attracting attention. However, as data management is carried out through an open environment, the safety of smart buildings is threatened by the security vulnerability of the existing building automation protocol. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the major data link technology of BACnet, which is used universally, and propose OWE-based efficient BACnet/SC that can ensure the reliability of data in a wireless environment. The proposed protocol enables safe communication even in an open network by applying OWE and provides the same level of security as BACnet/SC in a TLS environment. As a result, it reduces the connection process twice and reduces the average time required by 40%, enabling more efficient communication than before.

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.
