The traditional illuminance intensity detection method using a single sensor has a problem that uniformity of illuminance detection is deteriorated depending on the measurement position due to the narrow FOV characteristic. In order to overcome this problem, a method of detecting an average illuminance value through a plurality of illuminance sensors is used, but the complexity and detection error are increased. In this paper, we propose a illuminance intensity detection method based on a single image sensor with wide FOV. The proposed method can solve the problems such as system complexity and error increase of existing illuminance sensor. The test results show that the difference of average value is 12% using a illuminance sensor, 10.7% using five illuminance sensors, and 6.2% using an image sensor compared with the reference value using the color difference illuminometer. It is confirmed that the proposed method can easily and accurately detect the space illuminance with improved uniformity.

For the company, the office space is the expensive resource next to human resource. Employees are under the influence of physical characters of the office space. Among them lighting is the most effective factor in physical, biological and psychological for employees. Although there are lots of investments in architectural aspect of the office space, there is almost no investment and consideration about the lighting environment. Therefore this study was trying to find out these things as follow. First, evaluate lighting environment of people who works in the office spaces. Second, find out which factors are more affective in evaluation of lighting environment. And then with these findings this study found what should be considered as important in lighting planning of the office space. As the result of this study, however the majority of the employees are satisfied with current lighting conditions, they are not satisfied with individual operation of lighting. And in office space work type and position changes by age can affect in a large degree more than other factors. Therefore when planning lighting of the office space, it is necessary to figure out work features of Individual and group exactly and accept the difference by positions appropriately.

In indoor environment, the combination of the two variations, large scale(path loss) and small scale(fading), leads to non-linear variation of RSSI(received signal strength indicator) values as distance varied. This has been one of the difficulties for indoor location estimation. This paper presents new findings on indoor RSSI characterization for more accurate model building. Experiments have been done statistically to find overall trend of RSSI values at different places and times within the same room. From experiments, it has been shown that the variation of RSSI values can be determined by both spatial and temporal factors. These two factors are directly indicated by the two main parameters of path loss model. The results show that all sensor nodes which are located at different places share the same characterization value for the temporal parameter whereas different values for the spatial parameters. The temporal parameter also has a large scale variation effect that is slowly time varying due to environmental changes. Using this relationship, the characterization for location estimation can be more efficient and accurate.

During the last decade, an increasing interest in Underfloor Air-Conditioning(UFAC) systems has emerged. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate comprehensively the indoor environmental performance of office buildings with UFAC system in order to develope the design prototype of this system. In this paper, the physical measurements and the interviewing survey of occupant's sensation responses to the environment were carried out. Measurements and survey were made of the thermal environmental factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, globe temperature, and the other several environmental factors such as the sound level and the illuminance of working plane, etc. And, the air quality was evaluated by measuring the concentration of suspended particles, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in the room. Furthermore, the paper appraises the various indoor environmental factors of the room by using post-occupancy evaluation(POE) method in office building with UFAC system, and thus, it suggests the basic data for assessing the indoor comfort based on field measurements and survey.

Rapid increasing of smartphones has changed people's lifestyles, and location-based services are providing a platform to provide various conveniences in accordance with these changes. In particular, it may provide convenience to many users if location-based services are provided in an indoor area such as subway station. However, it is still a difficult task to ensure accurate positioning result for guiding routes in subway stations. This study proposes a KAI-R system that allows all processes to be performed in one system for indoor navigation in subway stations. The proposed system includes a new pedestrian step detection method for continuous positioning along with an improved fusion positioning algorithm.

Indoor air quality(IAQ) in workplace and residential environments has been concern of people. Recently, Ministry of Environment in Korea has recognized the potential risk on the healthy effect related to indoor air pollution at home. Therefore, the purpose of this study was performed to measure the indoor air pollutants of IAQ at different homes and investigate to compare the perception of IAQ recognition at home from questionnaire survey in Seoul. We estimated the IAQ of selected 6 homes based on site region and housing type. The indoor air pollutants and parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, respirable suspended particulate matter($PM_{10}$), formaldehyde(HCHO), total bacteria counts, carbon monooxide(CO) and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) were monitored for summer and winter. In monitoring results, the respirable suspended particulate matter(($PM_{10}$) and indoor airborne bacteria level of home 5 and 6 were higher than the standard of the public $150{\;}{\mu}g/m^3$ and $500{\;}{\mu}g/m^3$, the level formaldehyde(HCHO) was exceed 0.1 ppm of the standard of Korea at all monitored homes. In statistics analysis, we could find a correlation between the building age and the concentration of CO, TBC were significant at 0.01 level and Relative Humidity was significant at 0.05 level for summer. Finally, the important air pollutants of IAQ in home were HCHO and total bacteria counts(TBC). And we performed a questionnaire survey of 500 people about their awareness for the importance of IAQ in our home during same period. In results, all most response of occupant has recognized the importance of IAQ at home. Therefore, it can be concluded that the IAQ of selected 6 home studied was perceived as acceptable, it is recommended that the government related IAQ was suggested the guideline and control of IAQ problems, and the occupants need to be effort to reduce the exposure of sources to undesirable pollutants.

In this paper, the spatial modulation (SM) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system is proposed for indoor wireless local area networks (WLANs) with improved spectral efficiency. SM is suitable for high speed WLANs with avoiding the inter channel interference (ICI). Only one transmit antenna is activated in SM at each symbol interval. Therefore, it fails to attain the maximum coding gain of MIMO. The space time block code (STBC)-SM MIMO system can attain the maximum diversity gain at the expense of spectral efficiency. The proposed Golden-SM MIMO system uses the Golden code to improve the coding gain and spectral efficiency at the same time. The Golden code is adapted for STBC-SM and it makes the new code book for transmission symbols. The performance of the proposed system is compared with the conventional systems with computer simulations.
