This study aims to assess vulnerability in urban thermal environments of Seoul by using indicators frequently used in previous studies as well as effective indicators for spatial planning like urban and environmental planning. For this purpose, fifteen indicators that influence urban thermal environments such as heat waves, urban heat island effects, and urban micro-climates were identified based on literature reviews. Indicators for presenting urban structure and spatial properties were included; for example, building volume as 'exposure to climate', buildings completed before 1980 as 'sensitivity', and green space areas as 'adaptive capacity'. Among them, twelve indicators were applied to assess vulnerability in urban thermal environments of Seoul by using a GIS spatial analysis combined with fuzzy logic. The results show that the Gangnam area is identified as more vulnerable to a heat environment as compared to the Gangbuk area. In the Gangnam area, Seocho-gu, Gangnam-gu, Dongjak-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Gangseo-gu were relatively high in vulnerability, while Dongdaemun-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Gwangjin-gu, Jungrang-gu were relatively high in the Gangbuk area. Gwanak-gu, Dobong-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, and Nowon-gu, which include forested areas, have low vulnerability in the sectors of 'exposure to climate' and 'sensitivity' due to the impact of Gwanaksan and Bukhansan. However, some areas with high vulnerability like Seocho-gu and Gangnam-gu may have lower vulnerability if the indicator 'status of air conditioning' from the sector of 'adaptive capacity' is used. This study could support the establishment of a practicable thermal environment policy and spatial planning to reduce heat-related risks in the field of urban and environmental planning.

This study aims to propose a way for evaluating thermal environment vulnerability associated with policy to improve thermal environment. For this purpose, a variety of indices concerning thermal vulnerability assessment and adaptation policies for climate change applied to 17 Korean cities were reviewed and examined. Finally, 15 indices associated with policies for improving thermal environment were selected. The selected indices for thermal vulnerability assessment were applied to Daegu Metropolitan City of South Korea as a case study. As results, 15 vulnerability maps based on the standardized indices were established, and a comprehensive map with four grades of thermal vulnerability were established for Daegu Metropolitan City. As results, the area with the highest rated area in the first-grade(most vulnerable to heat) was Dong-gu, followed by Dalseo-gu and Buk-gu, and the highest area ratio of the first-grade regions was Ansim-1-dong in Dong-gu. Based on the standardized indices, the causes of the thermal environment vulnerability of Ansim-1-dong were accounted for the number of basic livelihood security recipients, the number of cardiovascular disease deaths, heat index, and Earth's surface temperature. To improve the thermal environment vulnerability of Ansim-1-dong, active policy implementation is required in expansion and maintenance of heat wave shelters, establishment of database for the population with diseases susceptible to high temperature environments, expansion of shade areas and so on. This study shows the applicability of the vulnerability assessment method linked with the policies and is expected to contribute to the strategic and effective establishment of thermal environment policies in urban master district plans.

This study aimed for the scientific approach of Korean traditional house, so called Hanok, by analyses of structural elements and thermal environmental performance. Hanok is a very unique vernacular architectural style of the Middle East Asia that fits with climate conditions of the Korean Peninsular, designed to withstand high temperature and humidity in summer and cold and dry in winter seasons. In order to evaluate thermal environment of Hanok, its sectional structure such as floor, wall, roof structure and Ondol which is Korean traditional floor heating system, was built in 3D, as well as heat transfer mechanism of its composing elements was analyzed through 3 dimensional steady state analysis. The results of the thermal environmental performance of Hanok will be used as a basic datum of design guidelines for accomplishing ecologic housing fitted with local climate.

생활수준이 향상됨에 따라 인간의 감성을 생활환경에 적용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 감성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 다양하나 이 중에서도 열환경은 인간에게 미치는 정도가 어떠한 요인보다도 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 열환경이라 함은 온도, 습도, 기류, 복사열을 말하며 이 요소들은 인간의 감성과 밀접한 관련을 지닌다. 실내의 열환경은 공조방식에 따라 크게 달라지며 본 연구에서는 천장분출과 바닥분출 공조방식의 비교실험을 수행하여 실내의 열환경을 평가한다. 두 공조방식을 여름철 사무실 공간을 모사하는 열환경챔버에 적용하여 실내의 온도, 기류, 복사온도, PMV의 분포를 측정한다. 실험 결과 바닥분출 공조방식이 쾌적성과 에너지 절약면에서 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the thermal environment in a large scale coal mine located in Taebaek, Gangwondo was assessed by a field survey. In order to estimate the thermal environment, various heat stress indices such as WBGT, HSI, ESI, KATA index and effective temperature were investigated. Correlation analysis was also conducted. It was found that the thermal environment in most workplace was high. In particular, the correlation coefficient between HSI reflected in physiological fatigue characteristic and the maximum sweat evaporation heat was -0.834. This shows that the correlation coefficient have the most influence on HSI index. The factor which has the most influence on the maximum sweat evaporation heat is velocity of air. The thermal environment of high-depth coal mines is likely to be improved by installing a structure that enables the maximum prevention of extended digging, air doors, or the leakage of the inflow of air in the first shaft.

This study was conducted to analyze the thermal comfort in the urban neighborhood park and to obtain a plan for improvement of the thermal environment. First, in the result of the analysis of the distribution characteristics of the park's main thermal environment factors and differences among types of space, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed did not show a clear difference spatially. However, the median radiant temperature showed great differences according to the openness of the space and the covering material. According to the evaluation of thermal comfort by types of space based on derived thermal environmental factors, the PMV value of the square was the highest at 4.39, the paths showed 2.58, greenery 1.90, and resting spaces 0.42. In the result of the PMV regression model established for the evaluation of the significance of these thermal environment factors that decide thermal comfort, it showed that the relative significance to the PMV was as follows in decreasing order: median radiant temperature(1.084), wind speed(-0.280), temperature(0.013), and relative humidity(-0.009). When conducting a scenario analysis on the areas with need for improvement in thermal environment, it was found that through reflectivity, color and the change in the physical properties of packing materials the thermal comfort felt by the body could be improved, and it is believed that through this the improvement plan can be established.

전자 부품의 신뢰성 평가를 위해서 다양한 방법의 시험법이 사용된다. 전자 부품은 반복적인 작동과 휴식에 의한 열피로를 받게 된다. 이에 대한 신뢰성 평가를 위해 오래전부터 다양한 시험 규격이 만들어지고, 그에 따라 열챔버를 이용한 챔버 사이클링 시험이 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 최근에는 이러한 시험 규격들에 대한 문제가 지적되고 있으며, 또한 챔버 사이클링을 이용한 가속 실험의 경우 실제 작동환경을 완벽히 묘사하지 못하며, 가속할 수 있는 정도가 제한되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 파워 사이클링 시험을 묘사하는 시험 방법을 제안하고, 그를 이용하여 BGA 패키지의 솔더 조인트에 대한 열피로 시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 파워 사이클링 시험기는 실제 작동 환경과 유사한 온도 구배를 패키지에 만들어 준다. 그리고 패키지에 열전도를 이용하여 열을 공급함으로써, 대류를 통해 열을 공급하는 챔버 사이클링 시험에 비해 빠르게 가열 및 냉각이 가능하다. 파워사이클링 테스트 방법을 이용하여 다양한 온도 조건에 대해 열피로 수행하여 솔더 조인트의 열피로 특성을 평가하였다.
