Function of the window of the building is an environment of the room through the entry of solar radiation. It is vulnerable to significant energy conservation off the thermal efficiency. Also this summer, cooling costs are weighted because of excessive solar radiation. In this paper, we develop a windows automatic control system to use the indoor environmental information, such as home temperature, humidity, light intensity, solar radiation. The system collects the indoor environment information using a variety of sensor, using the collected information, and controls the motor to the system to control the window.

Environmental control operations have been considerably contributed to the reduction of labor cost in both plastic film and glass greenhouses since government supported projects were begun. However, some problems are still remaining on the optimal environmental control and excessive operation due to an inflexible software regulating ventilation gear - reducers. The unadjustable software caused the damage of ventilation system, resulting in heat stresses of crops. This study was performed to develop a ventilation software controlling the vent opening level, opening sequence, based on the wind direction, and control interval according to the difference between ambient and set- up temperatures. The software included a beeper system alarming urgent cases, while a manager was remote from the greenhouse. A compatible hardware with the software was also developed by using a low-cost diffused DSP controller.

An investigation was conducted to get the basic data for establishing structural safety and environmental management of tomato greenhouses in Chungnam region. The contents of the investigation consisted of actual state of greenhouse structures and environmental control facilities. Most of greenhouses were arch type single-span plastic houses and they had too low height for growing tomatoes. Frameworks of multi-span greenhouses were suitable, but those of single-span were mostly insufficient. Every greenhouse had thermal curtain movable or covering fixed inside the greenhouse for energy saving, and heating facilities were mostly warm air heater. Irrigation facilities were mostly drip tube and controlled by manual operation or timer. Almost all of the greenhouses didn't install high level of environmental control facilities such as ventilator, air circulation fan, $CO_2$ fertilizer, insect screen, supplemental light, and cooling device.
