Floor impact sound has caused many acoustical complaints to the apartment building dwellers. The concrete floating floor construction is one of the most reasonable way to reduce floor impact sound. Recently, many damping materials are used in apartment buildings. In this study, to evaluate floor impact sound insulation performance, field tests were carried at five building floors with damping materials. The test results of impact sound insulation performance for five buildings showed good improvement in light weight impact sound after installation of damping materials, but heavy weight impact sound wasn't improved.

The presence of thermal bridges in a building envelope cause additional heat loss which increases the heating energy. Given that a higher building insulation performance is required in these cases, the heat loss via thermal bridges is a high proportion of the total heat energy consumption of a building. For the dry exterior insulation system that uses mullions and transoms to fix insulation and exterior materials such as stone and metal sheet, the occurrence of thermal bridges at mullions and transoms is one of the main reasons for heat loss. In this study, a dry exterior insulation system using the truss insulation frame (TIF) was proposed as an alternative to metal mullions. To evaluate the building envelope performance, structural, air-leakage, water-leakage, fire-resistance, thermal, and condensation risk tests were conducted. In addition, the annual energy consumption associated with heating and cooling was calculated, including the linear thermal transmittance of the thermal bridges. As a result, the dry exterior insulation system using TIF achieved the allowable value for all tests. It was also determined that the annual heating load of a building was reduced by 36.7 % when the TIF dry exterior insulation system was used, relative to the dry exterior insulation system using steel pipes without additional insulations.

As part of the recent low-energy policy, insulation standards for buildings are increasing every year. In addition, the conventional styrofoam heat insulation material has a problem in that the thickness of the heat insulation material to achieve the standard heat transmission rate is rapidly increased. Although the risk of spreading the structure vulnerable to fire due to insufficient spacing between buildings due to thickened insulation is increasing, the high cost of high efficiency insulation is difficult to solve. On the other hand, it is known that the method to be used as a formwork using insulation is excellent in cost reduction effect by reducing the amount of formwork used and simplifying the subsequent insulation work. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength characteristics of multi - layered insulation materials with appropriate strength by reducing the thickness of the insulation by appropriately combining high performance phenolic foam insulation and styrofoam insulation.

In this study, the insulation performance of thermal insulation materials such as glass wool, polyetylene and flexible lastomeric foam according to water vapor permeance was estimated by using experimental correlation equation. The results showed the conductivity increment of flexible lastomeric foam which has very low-permeability (${\le}0.15[ng/{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa]\;or\;{\mu}{\ge}1,000$) is about 50% lower than that of glass wool with the lapse of ten years. The conclusion is that moisture inevitably accumulated in permeable Insulations reduces insulation performance and also accelerates surface condensation in the case of cold water system.

Purpose: To enhance the non-combustibility of fire protection piping insulation and improve the heat resistance of smoke extraction duct insulation, I plan to verify the suitability of AES insulation materials for these applications through performance testing. Method: The non-combustibility, heat resistance, and thermal insulation performance of AES insulation materials will be verified through various tests. Result: According to the 'Standards for Flame Retardancy and Fire Spread Prevention of Building Finishing Materials,' the results of non-combustibility and gas toxicity tests confirmed the non-combustible properties. The standard fire resistance tests verified the fire resistance performance. Additionally, the thermal insulation performance was confirmed through building insulation tests. Conclusion: As the performance tests on AES inorganic insulation materials have proven their noncombustibility, fire resistance, and thermal insulation performance, these materials are considered a viable alternative for improving fire spread prevention in buildings.

It is increasing the interest on the comfortable dwelling environment, while sound insulation performance of materials and elements used in building is falling down as they become thicker and lighter Therefore, sound insulation performance in building has become the most important factor determining the level of housing, especially for apartment that has common wall and floor with next neighbors.

The aim of this study was to develop the details of cross-laminated timber (CLT) envelops for satisfying the design standard for energy saving (DSEA) and passive standard in South Korea. When the same thickness of 180 mm concrete or CLT was used and the same materials for other layers were used for the roof, wall, and interlayer floor, the required insulation thickness for the different building envelopes in central, southern, and Jeju island was evaluated. As a result, compared to the concrete envelop, about 43 mm of insulation thickness was reduced for wall and roof with the CLT envelope. When the CLT envelopes were modified to protect the CLT from moisture based on FPInnovations (2011), the insulation thickness was further reduced by 12 mm. When the modified CLT building envelops satisfied with a passive standard are used for 10-story building, the required insulation was decreased by $40.89m^3$ for a floor ($105.27m^2{\times}2.3m$ in height) compared to concrete building. As the number of floors increases, about 3.58 m3 of insulation per floor was additionally saved.

To prevent energy waste in buildings used heat insulator. Heat insulator materials can be classified inorganic and organic. The organic material is be toxic gas emission, when a fire occurs. And it has lower water resistance. The inorganic material is heavy and worse thermal performance than organic materials. This study focused on thermal conductivity and density of inorganic foam material for using industrial by-products materials.

Due to the big fire in Uijeongbu, the status of construction, fireproof materials and structural method were examined to prevent fire propagation through outside insulation parts of urban living homes. Through research and experiments, the following results were obtained. It was confirmed that outside heat-insulation wall method was used in a large number of urban living homes which were made of materials and structures spreading fire easily.Through experiments, it was revealed that lightweight plate material, as a fireproof material, can save the cost as well as the period of construction and obtain more than 30 minutes of evacuation time which is twice the maximum evacuation time.
