Domestic explosive demolition techniques have been developed and applied for low-rise structures up to now. However, the demand for the development of those techniques that can be applied economically, safely and environment-friendly rapidly increases because the old high-rise RC rahmen structures that were built since around 1970s are now required to rebuild. As a result, element technologies of explosive demolition for low-rise structures were applied to take advantage of technology in high-rise structures that performed application testing at Chungang Department demolition field in Daejeon city. It could judge elements technology establishment for high-rise structure demolition and field application and suggest the improvements when the problems occurred to develop High-rise building demolition techniques for method of protection a field test and the dust reduction test. The water cannon test was applied to reduce the dust site and the drilling tests are performed to select the best components for explosives demolition elements techniques of the reliability. This paper shows that we have the ability to remove a high-rise building using environmentally friendly safe and economical explosives demolition method. It would contribute to prevent a foreign company from entering the domestic market and should contribute to acquire competitiveness of domestic demolition industry.

The slowdown of private building industry resulted in growth of remodeling market as a way to improve energy performance. Remodeling is considered more cost-effective and eco-friendly approach for energy efficient building than new construction. Since 2008, Seoul has promoted Building Retrofit Project (BRP) preponderantly to attract energy-saving renovation by supporting building owners to switch building system into energy-saving system when they remodel their old buildings. According to 2012 press release, 254 Private sectors participated in this green building project and annually reduced 41000ton of greenhouse gas emission, 14000TOE, which also result in 7.5 billion won energy cost savings per year. The paper focuses on the building envelope remodeling as a way to improve energy efficiency. Different components of the building envelope such as wall insulation, window, and shading, were applied to the baseline model and the comparison was analyzed to come up with the ideal solution. This study only assesses the building envelope as to suggest the way to redesign the better energy performing building. Offering solution focusing on the architectural feature is essential because it will provide basic information and standard when remodeling a building for energy efficiency, especially, for the nonresidential buildings used as rental offices.

The hollow slab has advantages that its self-weight does not greatly increase notwithstanding the increase of its thickness and its flexural performance does not significantly degrade in comparison with general reinforced concrete slab. However, the utilization of the hollow slab is currently being underestimated in spite of structural system that enables economic design of building and construction of eco-friendly structure. the significant reasons for this situation is that the method of structural analysis and design for hollow slab is not generalized. In this study, to consider practical compressive zone of hollow slab, the equation for its flexural strength is proposed by the volume of compressive stress block according to neutral axis location in hollow section assumed. Existing estimation method of flexural strength of hollow slab considering only compressive zone above hollow part is evaluated as the most conservative method and the method estimating flexural strength by two alternative cross-section of hollow slab is evaluated as more practical method.

The ecofriendly yellow ocher is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, construction, and food packaging. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used for manufacturing food containers has a microporous structure that causes aeration. Hydrophilic yellow ocher may be applied to hydrophobic PET by surface modification to overcome this issue. The aim of this study is to fabricate a yellow ocher polystyrene hybrid structure in the form of nanoparticles using an optimizing molar ratio of styrene, divinylbenzene, and potassium peroxodisulfate for use in emulsion polymerization. The polymerization was conducted in a yellow ocher suspension that was prepared by dispersing mechanically ground yellow ocher in DI water. The prepared hybrid structure was measured using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The measurement revealed the spherical morphology and Si component that resulted from the yellow ocher in the polystyrene particles. We expect that this hybrid structure would be used as platform material to minimize aeration in PET.

Since some decades ago, there has been a concern for resource depletion and environmental pollution associated with building properties. In addressing such impact of the built environment, there is a recognition of the existence of alternative building materials, fuels for energy supply as well as technologies for waste handling and disposal. Nevertheless, for long time, the choice between such alternatives was dictated by factors such as differences in prices and aesthetic values. A new important dimension in discriminating between different options is the environmental dimension. This aspect is important since buildings are one of the spatially big new additions to the natural environment that consume a lot of materials and energy during their long lifetime. Thus, with the environmental dimension kept in mind, a existing cost estimation needs to be changed. A new cost assessment method, Life Cycle Cost, should calculate overall costs with dimensional factors: investment and utility costs as well as maintenance costs over the lifetime of the building. Aiming to give an overview of the present status of Building Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) tools as a basis for further research and development including economic performance, this paper describes and compares 3 different tools for Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) and economic analysis of the green buildings. This paper compared these approaches based on various aspects. These include economic analysis method, evaluation duration, data of results(index). Use of the comparison analysis is to produce a better picture and indicate profits and shortcomings for the tools as a group; thus providing important direction improvement of LCA tool as well as further research and development of this group of tools.

우리나라의 경우 비점오염원에 의한 오염부하 기여도가 점차 증가하면서 '06년 관련 법규 개정을 통해 일정 규모 이상의 개발사업에 대해서는 비점오염저감시설 설치를 의무화하였으며, '11년 기준 국내에는 약 6,000여개 이상의 저감시설이 설치되었다. 해당 시설에 대한 모니터링 결과 장치형에 비해 자연형이 처리효율 및 유지관리 측면에서 유리한 것으로 보고되면서 환경부는 개발사업에 대해 저영향개발기법(LID)의 적용을 의무화하는 방안을 추진 중이다. 개발사업에 있어 LID는 토지이용기법을 통해 우수 유출과 오염원 유출을 저감하고자 하는 기법으로, 비용 및 유지관리 측면에서는 유리하나 기존 단위시설 적용기법에 비해 계획적인 요소가 강해 적용 확대 및 의무화가 용이하지 않은 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LID 적용 확대와 관련된 문제점을 분석하고 적용 의무화를 위해 필요한 대안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 해당 기법 자체가 가지는 한계와 제도적인 문제점을 분석하였으며, LID 기법의 확대 적용을 위해 필요한 대안을 제안하였다. 분석 결과, LID 기법은 기존 장치형 시설에 비해 계획기법의 측면이 커 기술개발이 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 저감시설의 적용여부에 대한 검증도 곤란한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 처리효율 계량화가 어려워 오염총량제와 연계된 오염부하 삭감효과 인정이 곤란해 확대 적용에 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 상기의 분석결과에 근거할 때, LID 기법의 확대 적용은 국내의 제도적 여건 및 LID 기법 자체의 한계를 감안하여 단계적으로 추진되어야 할 것으로 판단되며, 조속한 확대 시행을 위해서는 다음의 방안 마련을 제안한다. 첫째, 적용 여부에 대한 판단이 모호한 단점을 보완하기 위해 적정 적용여부를 심의할 수 있는 인증제도 도입을 제안한다. 이 제도는 친환경건축물인증제도 등 기존 유사 제도에 항목을 추가하는 방법과 별도의 제도를 신설하는 방법이 가능할 것이다. 둘째, 처리효율 정량화를 위해 기존 농도 위주의 처리효율 개념을 벗어나 유량 개념의 처리효율 산정이 필요하다. 즉, 처리용량 범위내에서 외부에 유출없이 우수저류 및 침투가 가능한 경우 전량 처리되는 것으로 간주하는 방식이다. 연구결과로 제안한 LID 기법 적용에 대한 인증제도 마련과 유량개념의 처리효율 산정방안이 도입된다면, 보다 조속한 시일내 LID 기법의 확대 적용이 가능할 것이다.

Today, global warming is one of main problems all over the world. The cause of the global warming is carbon dioxide outbreak by the rapidly increasing energy use. Therefore, it is necessary to save energy in each industrious field. It was investigated that the half of total energy consumption over the world was used for construction and building. Therefore, the saving of the building energy plays a significant role in decreasing total energy consumption. With the considerable increase in building energy consumption, a green building rating system and certification are required to reduce building energy consumption and $CO_2$ emissions. Of various elements reducing building energy, the thermal conductivity of materials affects the energy consumption as a basic element, which is directly related with reducing energy consumption. In particular, as the thermal conductivity of finishing materials is an important factor to decide heating energy efficiency of floor heating system, the investigation and development are necessary.

In 1990s, as the extreme weather events according to the global warming climate change are occurred frequently all around the world and the scale of the damage increases, the developed countries are promoting various policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions setting the goal of greenhouse gas reduction with the level of State and local government. Especially for the greenhouse gas reduction of buildings and the inducement of eco-friendly design, the green certification system is strengthened with the assessment of energy and greenhouse management, and recently, according to the policy change of climate and energy, the certification system expanded from the buildings to the level of city and district is piloted. So this research is to understand the main contents and the assessment system of domestic green building certification system implemented in March 2013 in response to the policy change of climate and energy and to suggest the basic data for the improvement of present domestic greenhouse certification standard through the analysis of actual certification and the main case analysis of international green certification system. Recently in developed countries, in 1990s, for the reduction of building's greenhouse gas emission and the inducement of eco-friendly design, from the building of LEED, BREEAM, DGNB to the level of city and district such as LEED Neighborhood Development, BREEAM Communities, DGNB Stadtquartiere, the system is expanded and piloted. On the contrary, as for the domestic standard of green building certification system, the distribution ratio according to the assessment items in each category consists of the assessment system based on the buildings, and just the simple adjustment of some items and the improvement of weighted value are performed. Actually, as a result of selecting the 30 districts of apartment housing with the most certification performance by use among the 49 buildings certified by Institute of Land & Housing from December 2014 to July 2016 and analyzing the assessment score, the certification level is determined by the sectors of high distribution like indoor environment and energy not by the ineffective sector of external environment with low distribution so this system has a limitation to perform the practical means for the policy change of climate and energy. Thus for the national green building certification standards, the assessment system in the sector of external environment is to complemented and furthermore, reflecting domestic reality, through the introduction of certification system and the assessment system with the level of city and district, this system should be improved to meet the international certification standard.

Introduction and use of Building Information Modeling(BIM) in construction projects have increased steadily over the past few years. However, the level of domestic BIM utilization is still tenuous compared to the international scene. Therefore, this study aims to present the possible directions for BIM research through an analysis of research literatures in Korea as well as in foreign countries. Papers on BIM were collected for this study from Korea and foreign countries for the field of architecture, and analyses and comparisons were performed by year and field. Further, the research patterns were analyzed using WordCloud, which is one of the popular big data techniques. From the analysis, it is found that the design field still constitutes the largest component of research, but the construction field is actively developing as well. In addition, it is realized that domestic BIM research continues to grow on collaboration and environment-friendly methodologies since 2012; it is also demonstrated that foreign BIM research has undergone changes in research trends every year including recently, and is progressing actively. Therefore, this study concludes that it is necessary to actively conduct research in the field of Industry Foundation Class(IFC) in the future. The results of this study can further be used as reference data for conducting BIM studies in Korea in the future.
