This study has been done to investigate the characteristics of the wall materials of a earthen house ; the core-wall of a wood-frame house and the mud-wall of a all-wall house. A series of tests is carried out to study the physical properties of wall materials which are picked from existing earthen houses. The core-wall materials are composed of sandy soil or clayey soil with low plasticity. The mud-wall materials are sandy soil with well compaction effect. It is confirmed that the wall materials are common soils which are easily picked from the residential quarter.

The insulation characteristics of earthen core wall were studied in this paper. The overall heat transfer coefficients(U) were obtained through experiment in accordance with Korea Industrial standards. The result of the experiment are compared with the Regional Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient(U) of Building. This results inform that core wall with soil can be used as building walls because the insulation characteristics agree to the rule of building standards.

황토가 사람 몸에 좋다는 것이 알려지면서 전국에 '황토 바람'이 불고 있다. 황토로 꾸민 병원이 생겨나는 가 하면 황토 찜질방이 성황을 이루고, 심지어는 황토방 아파트까지 등장하고 있다. 가족의 건강을 생각해 흙집을 짓는 이들도 많다. 경기도 김포시 양촌면의 방경석 씨는 암과의 투병을 위해 황토집을 지었다. 미송으로 골조를 세운 후 순수 황토벽돌로 벽체를 쌓고 안팎으로 황토 모르타르를 발랐다. 그리고 황토의 효능을 극대화시키기 위해 구들방과 황토 패치카를 들였다. 황토집에서 생활한 지 4년 ··· 방경석 씨는 스스로 놀랄 만큼 건강을 되찾았다.

As a demand for sustainable development rises, the preference for earth house (earth construction) increases gradually. However, there are few data for predicting and evaluating the thermal environment and indoor air quality of earth house. Thus, this study aims to measure thermal properties(thermal conductivity, density and specific heat) and pollutants emission intensities(formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds) of current main earth construction materials and make a comparison between earth and cement construction materials. As results, quantitative thermal properties and pollutants emission intensities of current main earth construction materials are shown.

This study has been done to investigate the characteristics of the wall materials of a earthen house ; the core-wall of wood-frame house and the mud-wall of a all wall house. A series of tests was carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of wall materials which were picked from existing earthen houses. The core-wall materials were composited sandy soil or clayey soil with low plasticity. The mud-wall materials were sandy soil with well compaction effect. It was confirmed that the wall materials were not always using the loess(called Hwang'o) but using the common soils which wee easily picked from the residential quarter.

The researches on the environmental friendly buildings have carried out on the materials, environmental property, technical elements and etc., and various buildings with these green materials have built and under construction nowadays and became a new trend of the green building. And recently, new building technique which builds the wall with the soil and wood and very easy to construct (called M Earthen House) was introduced as the green building and rapidly propagated. But the research on the indoor climatic characteristics, the ability to control the environmental comfort and the influence to the human beings of these buildings are not sufficiently identified yet. In this paper, the indoor environmental characteristics and the temperature controlling ability of these buildings in summer season were measured and analysed by the Portable Indoor Air Quality Monitor(BABUC/A, LSI) measuring equipments, ana the subjective test on the thermal environment of the subjects were carried out to evaluate the thermal comfort. The results can be summarized as follows; 1) Compared to the outdoor dry bulb temp.($15.4{\sim}28.7^{\circ}C$), the indoor temp. was $19.5{\sim}26.8^{\circ}C$. It showed the temperature controlling ability of the M earthen house was outstanding. And the indoor relative humidity, compared to the outdoor($45.4{\sim}100%$), was $58.1{\sim}76.4%$, it showed the humidity controlling ability of the M earthen house was also outstanding. 2) The thermal environment was evaluated as 'comfort'(neutral-slightly warm) and the humidity was also evaluated as 'comfort'(neutral-slightly humid). So, the results of the physical and subjective evaluation on the indoor thermal comfort in summer season were 'neutral' and 'comfort' coincidently, it was confirmed that the controlling ability of the indoor temperature and humidity of the M earthen house was very excellent.
