In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, the high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency, has brought economically positive effects. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and is also very harmful to the residents, because they spend over 90% of their time indoors. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep the indoor environment clean and it can also save the energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type nano ceramic filter is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. The double layer filter, which has $30{\mu}m$ in diameter at the conditions of 10wt% of concentration and 3kV/cm of the electric intensity, is produced by electrospinning. The filtration coating technology is confirmed in the solution with $SiO_2$ nano particles using polymer nano fibers. Also double layer filters are coated with $SiO_2$ nano particles and finally the porous construction materials are made by sintering in the electric furnace at $200{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$. The efficiency is measured 96.67% at the particle size of $0.31{\mu}m$, which is slightly lower than HEPA filter. However the efficiency is turned out to be sufficient.

In building envelope, transparent components play an important role. The structural glazing systems are the weak element of the casing in terms of mechanical resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation. In the present work, new structural glass panels with granular aerogel in interspace were investigated from different points of view. In particular, the mechanical characterization was carried out in order to assess the resistance to bending of the single glazing pane. To this end, a special instrument system was built to define an alternative configuration of the coaxial double ring test, able to predict the fracture strength of glass large samples (400 × 400 mm) without overpressure. The thermal and lighting performance of an innovative double-glazing façade with granular aerogel was evaluated. An experimental campaign at pilot scale was developed: it is composed of two boxes of about 1.60 × 2 m² and 2 m high together with an external weather station. The rooms, identical in terms of size, construction materials, and orientation, are equipped with a two-wing window in the south wall surface: the first one has a standard glazing solution (double glazing with air in interspace), the second room is equipped with the innovative double-glazing system with aerogel. The indoor mean air temperature and the surface temperature of the glass panes were monitored together with the illuminance data for the lighting characterization. Finally, a brief energy characterization of the performance of the material was carried out by means of dynamic simulation models when the proposed solution is applied to real case studies.

Objectives: Because of its properties such as resistance to heat, chemicals and corrosion; tensile strength; sound absorption; and affordable price, asbestos has been widely used as a building material, fire resistant and retardant, thermal and heat insulator, soundproofing material, and electrical insulation. Since the prolonged inhalation of asbestos can cause serious illnesses such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis after an incubation period of 20 to 40 years, the mineral was classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an intergovernmental agency forming part of the World Health Organization. Children and infants are more at risk than are adults if they are exposed to carcinogens, due to aweaker immunity that has not yet been fully developed. Most childcare centers are operated all day and children tend to spend a great amount of time in the centers. This is why it is important for them to be systematically isolated from environments that may expose them to asbestos. Materials: In order to understand both indoor and outdoor hazards to which children may have been exposed, the study focused on actual surveys of asbestos used in childcare centers, paying special attention to slate-roofed buildings in the vicinity of the centers. Results: A survey of a total of 211 childcare centers showed that the buildings of 18.1% of the centers contained asbestos, with 60.53% of the material being found in classroom ceilings. "Tex" was the most used material for ceilings, making up 89.47% of all ceilings. An outdoor survey showed that childcare centers in Daegu Metropolitan City had an average of 143 slate-roof buildings within a distance of 1km. Conclusions: Buildings housing mainly toddlers, children, teenagers and others more vulnerable to the toxicity of asbestos are not subject to asbestos investigation by law. A legal and practical basis for asbestos control is required for such buildings. In particular, housing materials which contain asbestos in day care centers require asbestos control. GIS should be used to identify the location of buildings with slate roofing materials in the vicinity of daycare centers in order to gauge toxicity of exposure to asbestos caused by potential asbestos friability possibility in outdoor conditions.

선진국들은 지구온난화의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 1997년 '교토의정서' 채택이후 온실가스를 줄이기 위한 다양한 정책을 시행하고 있다. 우리나라 역시 2030년 온실가스 감축 목표를 배출전망치(BAU: Business As Usual) 대비 37% 줄이기 위해 산업부문, 수송부문, 건물부문의 에너지 소비량을 감축하여야 한다. 정부에서는 에너지 소비량 감축을 위한 각종 법령 및 행정규칙을 제정하여 시행하고 있으며, 특히 건물부문의 에너지 소비량을 감축하기 위하여 녹색건축물 조성지원법에 따른 '건축물의 에너지절약설계기준'을 시행하고 있다. 실내온도를 $28^{\circ}C$로 유지하기 위해 사용되는 전력량은 벽면녹화 및 옥상녹화 등으로 녹화된 건물이 녹화되어지지 않은 건축물에 비해 평균 30%의 전력사용량의 감소효과가 있다. 이렇듯 조경녹화에 대한 에너지 절감의 효과는 입증되고 있으나, 이러한 입증은 '건축물의 에너지절약설계기준'에 적합한 방법이 아니기에 에너지 절감의 실효성을 가지고 있지 못한다. 조경용 녹화가 에너지 절감에 따른 실효성을 가지려면 '녹색건축물 조성 지원법 제14조'의 '건축물의 에너지절약 설계기준'의 단열재료에 대하여 구성재료의 열전도율로 열관류율을 계산하여 '별표 1'의 기준에 적합하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 3종류의 벽면녹화용 식생매트와 1종류의 복합매트(내부단열재+식생매트)를 제작하여 다양한 열전도율 측정 실험을 수행하고, 에너지 보존식을 이용하여 내부단열재 두께 등에 대하여 이론적인 계산을 하였다. 3종류의 식생매트의 열전도율은 0.130~0.157W/mk 정도로서 목재의 열전도율(0.170w/mk)보다 낮아 단열의 기능을 가지는 매트로써 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 복합매트는 내부단열재(그라스포, 폴리우레탄 등)의 두께를 조절하면 '건축물의 에너지절약설계기준의' 단열기준 0.051W/mk에 적합한 식생매트가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 PC, PMMA, HDPE, PP를 소재로 한 방음패널의 두께와 구조적 특성, 소재가 차음성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 각 소재로 구성된 단일 패널의 음향투과손실을 비교한 결과, PC, PMMA, HDPE, PP 순으로 음향투과손실이 높게 나타났으며, 질량법칙에 따르는 결과임을 확인하였다. 단일패널의 두께에 따른 투과손실을 비교해보면, 4 mm 단일패널에 비해 8 mm 두께의 투과손실이 약 5~6 dB(A) 크게 측정되었다. 또한 두께가 2배가 됨에 따라 일치효과 주파수가 낮아져 4,000~5,000 Hz에서 투과손실이 감소하는 영역이 발생하였으며, 4 mm 단일패널보다 투과손실이 작았다. 두 개의 4 mm 패널 사이에 공기층을 두어 이중으로 구성한 실험체를 대상으로 한 투과손실 실험 결과, 300 Hz 이하의 주파수에서는 동일한 두께인 8 mm의 단일패널과 효과가 비슷하였으며, 2,000 Hz 이상의 고주파수 대역에서 8 mm 단일패널에 비해 효과가 매우 뛰어났다. 반면 공명(resonance) 주파수와 인접한 500~630 Hz 대역에서 투과손실이 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives: This investigation is purposed to evaluate the airborne asbestos concentrations in the public buildings having asbestos containing materials(ACMs) in Seoul. Methods: The Seoul Metropolitan Government carried out an asbestos survey to the city-owned public buildings to identify the level of risk exposure, classified into low, moderate and high risk. To evaluate the airborne concentration of asbestos, 11 sampling sites in ten buildings based on the survey were selected. The air samples from the eleven sites were analyzed by Phase Contrast Microscopy(PCM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and compared the analytical results from the both. Results: 1. The airborne fiber concentrations by PCM were less than the detection limit($7f/mm^2$) in 9(82%) out of 11 sampling sites. The highest concentration was 0.0043 f/cc, but it was below the guideline value for indoor air quality(0.01 f/cc), proposed by the Ministry of Environment, Korea. 2. In two sampling sites, having moderate risk level, the chrysotile was identified and showed it's concentrations of 0.0102 s/cc and 0.0058 s/cc, less than $5{\mu}m$ lengths. 3. The ACMs identified in the two sampling sites were a packing material(65% of chrysotile) in mechanical area and a thermal system insulation(5% of chrysotile) in a boiler room. Having more possibility of asbestos emission in the mechanical area, it would be required to set up and carry out the asbestos management plan. Conclusions: Based on the result of this study, the airborne asbestos concentrations in the public buildings with ACMs were generally lower than the guideline value for indoor air quality. There are widespread concerns about the possible health risk resulting from the presence of airborne asbestos fibers in the public buildings. Most of the previous studies about airborne asbestos analysis in Korea were performed based on PCM method that asbestos and non-asbestos fibers are counted together. In the public and commercial buildings, having ACMs, it is suggested that the asbestos be analyzed by TEM method to identify asbestos due to concerns about asbestos exposure to workers and unspecified people.

Thermal stress of livestock has been issued due to recent climate change trends and this causes reproductive disorders, decreased feed consumption, immunosuppression, and increased mortality of animals. Concept of THI has been widely used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of thermal stress for animals, however use of this concept is restricted for animals living in the enclosed facilities such as mechanically ventilated broiler houses. In this study, time-based internal energy flow and variation trends of temperature and humidity were analyzed based on BES technique. Local weather data, insulation characteristics of building materials, heat and moisture generation rate from broilers according to age, algorithm of ventilation operation were adopted for boundary condition of the model to accurately compute THI values inside the mechanically ventilated broiler house. From the BES computation, excess frequency of THI threshold in Jeju city was highest on the assumption that air conditioning equipments were not installed. When general raising density ($39kg\;m^{-2}$) was adopted, total 2,191 hours were exceeded. Excess hours of THI threshold were strongly related to the cumulative air temperature ($R^2=0.87$).

본 연구에서는, 건축 외장재로 많이 사용되고 있는 외단열시스템에 대해 방염 효과를 확인하기 위하여 콘칼로리미터 실험을 적용하였다. 실험 결과, 방염제의 도포 형태나 농도에 따라 초기 착화 시점을 지연하는데 효과가 있었으나, 외벽 수직화재 발생 시 외단열시스템의 방염처리는 화재에 영향을 미치지 못할 것이라는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 외단열시스템에 사용하는 고밀도와 저밀도 스티로폼의 밀도차에 의한 화재에 미치는 영향은 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 실험 시 외장재의 착화는 40초 전후로 발생하였으며, 방출열량도 100초 이내에 약 90 %가 발생하는 것으로 나타나 다른 외벽재료와 비교하여 초기 화재 확산이 매우 빠름을 알 수 있었다. 외단열시스템 외장재 화재로 인한 화재 확산을 방지하기 위해서는 법적으로 외단열시스템의 적용 시 건물의 용도별로 사용을 제한하거나 화염전파를 차단할 수 있는 수직외벽 구획 등의 대책이 시급히 요구된다.

본 연구는 급속하게 성장하는 시설농업과 동시에 증가하는 에너지 사용량 및 탄소배출량을 저감하기 위해, 온실의 에너지 부하를 동적으로 분석하기 위한 작물에너지의 다중 회귀모델 개발을 수행하였다. 온실은 연중 안정적인 대량 생산을 위한 적절한 환경을 조성하기 위해 에너지 투입이 필요하다. 도시농업의 일종인 옥상온실 플랫폼을 통해 건물에서 버려지거나 활용되지 않는 에너지를 옥상온실에서 사용할 수 있다. 옥상온실의 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 다양한 환경 조건에 대한 동적 에너지 분석이 선행되어야 하며, 온실에 도입되는 태양 에너지의 40-75%가 작물을 위한 에너지 교환이므로 필수적으로 고려되어야 한다. 한국기계연구원 내 옥상온실에서 여름철에 청경채를 재배하며 생장단계에 따른 에너지 교환을 분석하였다. 작물을 중심으로 미기상 및 양액 환경 분석과 생장 특성 조사를 수행하였다. 정식일수에 따른 엽면적지수를 추정하였으며, 개발된 수식은 결정계수 0.99로 분석되었다. 또한 작물에너지 흐름에 지배적인 잎 표면온도로부터의 현열부하와 증발산에 의한 잠열부하로 나누어 모델을 개발하였다. 엽온과 증발산량을 각각 다중 회귀모델을 이용하여 추정하고 실측한 값을 비교해 보았을 때, 평균 결정계수 0.95, 0.71로 분석되었으며, 이 모델을 이용하여 옥상온실의 에너지 부하를 동적으로 산정하기 위한 모델에 입력값으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
