To establish effective policies for reducing CO₂ emissions in the building sector, it is essential to analyze the feasibility of regulations. In this regard this study seeks to analyze the effectiveness of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), Display Energy Certificate (DEC), and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) regulations implemented in the UK. In particular, it analyzes the effectiveness in terms of mandatory issuance of the building energy rating certificates (i.e., EPC and DEC) and the minimum energy performance regulations (i.e., MEES regulation) of the building. To this end, the effectiveness of the system implemented in the UK was analyzed using 31,915 EPC and 31,715 DEC data. The analysis found that the CO₂ emissions of properties due to the EPC and DEP issuance obligations decreased further in 2022 than in 2013. It was also found that starting in 2018 when the MEES regulation was implemented, the CO₂ emissions by property type continued to decrease. This is because property owners were highly motivated to improve building energy performance due to the implementation of the MEES regulation. Therefore, it is expected that the findings of this study will serve as important basic data for the policymakers of the government to develop more effective building energy performance improvement policies.

This thesis draws institutional problem about safety of architectural structure through analysis of architectural structure regulation. The law of analysis target are building codes, enforcement ordinance of building codes, enforcement regulations of building codes, regulation for structure standards of building, building structure standards. The analysis showed there are imperfections in confirmed procedural application of structure safety and suggested reformation. It's necessary to make supplementary policies for the suitability of the term use and the structure safety certificate of compliance, establishing a special structure code.

Reading room in the university is one of necessary facilities that university student must use. It is, therefore, very important to make reading room comfortable acoustically not only to minimize the annoyance to the users but also to provide efficiency in studying. Present study aims to investigate the current situation of reading room in terms of acoustics and moreover to find out the relationship between the indoor noise and users' satisfaction through questionnaire survey. As a result, the indoor noise level is quite higher than the 1st grade, 35 dB(A), that the Ministry of land, transport and maritime affairs suggests as certificate regulation for environment friendly building and there were lots of noise sources that can provoke users in studying or concentrating. Questionnaire survey illustrates that the sound when opening and closing door, and airborne sound from outdoor transmitted through window are most annoying, which affected users' dissatisfaction.

As buildings become increasingly diverse in size and type, a continuous process of generating and processing various information within these structures occurs. This process is being addressed with the advancement of high-speed information and communication technology, which is being extensively applied in buildings. Such changes are institutionalized through the certification of high-speed information and communication buildings. This certification is crucial for ensuring the quality and connectivity of the essential communication infrastructure in modern buildings. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has established itself as an effective tool for the integrated management of design, construction, and operation in architectural projects. This research aims to refine and categorize the evaluation criteria suitable for the building certification based on high-speed information and communication criteria and to explore the applicability of BIM tools based on these criteria. By enhancing the substitution and connection of each library, the functionalities of BIM programs for a comprehensive review of information and communication facilities are expected to be applied in a more utilitarian direction.
