In Korea, since the implementation of the GMO Law, the intrest of biosafety level 3(BL3) lab. is increasing. In this study, using CONTAM which is applying multizone modelling, the multizone simulation for design verification of BL3 lab. was performed. In BL3 lab., because required air change rate is greater than general estimated air-conditioning load and it is difficult to maintain room pressure difference efficiently, to maintain pressure difference between laboratory rooms is important through sealing condition of doors and proper airflow control of laboratory rooms. In this study, about BL3 lab.(M. tuberculosis research lab.), the multizone simulation for four kind of biohazard scenarios was performed in the case of unexpected spread of contaminants in the laboratory room, anteroom, corridor and inside of BSC. Multizone simulation results show that these approach methods are used as a tool for the design and verification of BL3 lab.

This paper presents the heating and cooling load estimations for the library of a cultural center building located in Gwangju Korea by TRNSYS with Type 56 of multi-zone building components. In this study, energy rate control mode is selected and the design temperatures for heating and cooling are specified respectively as 20oC and 26oC. Reading rooms of the library are located on the third floor of the cultural center building, and this third floor space is modeled as the five thermal zones for the TRNSYS simulation. Among the five zones, attention is given to the two zones which are the reading rooms 1 and 2. Since these two zones are to be heated and cooled by the solar thermal system which is planned to be installed in the building, dynamic thermal behaviors of the two zones are analyzed by the heating and cooling load estimations.

This study aimed to analyze residential demands on intelligent systems for apartments and suggest space design directions of intelligent apartment complexes. Data collection was done through mail-in surveys by five respondent groups. Outcomes of this study would provide basic data for developing intelligent apartment housing corresponding to the residential characteristics and demands of the five respondent groups. The sample size for the questionnaire survey was 592. The types of the target residents in this study were classified into five categories; nuclear families, dual income families, single households and the handicapped needing special environmental supports, and workers at home who need the new home design with a home office. The primary findings of this study were as follows. 1) For the controllers of intelligent system, nuclear families preferred TV, single households prefer home-pad which is movable and provides access to the internet. Dual income families, the handicapped and workers at home preferred remote control panels. 2) For the desirable space for computer equipment, regardless of the types of target residents, bedroom and living room were preferred. 3) For the desirable space for a home theater system, most of respondent groups preferred living rooms, but many rather wanted to have media rooms only for this system.

The principle of Korean Traditional Housing was to be harmonized with the nature with shapes according to regional climate and materials easily available from the region. These environmentally friendly characteristics protected indoor environment from climate changes. The characteristics of Korean traditional housing to control indoor environment would be very useful for contemporary housing in that current issues, improving housing amenity and wellbeing, had basic goals same with what Korean Traditional Housing had. Though it could be found characteristics of indoor thermal environment heated by Ondol Heating System, analyses of evaluation made by occupants of the rooms were insufficient because most of the studies had been focused on the measurement of indoor thermal factors. Thus, with an evaluation of occupants for the indoor thermal comfort and an estimation of discomfort derived from the result of vertical temperature distribution, it was studied whether the agreeable indoor range of rooms, of which was Jeonju Hanok Living Experience Center, heated by Ondol Heating System corresponded to the agreeable indoor range presented in references.

Double skin facade(DSF) ventilated by fans consists of a normal external and an internal envelope. In this glass layer, the installed fan replaces an air inlet for the control of air flow through the cavity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate physical theory and to analyze the applicability of fans installed in a DSF. The experiment was conducted in 2 rooms. One room has a DSF with installed fans and the other one has a typical window. The room ventilated through a DSF which fans are installed was always kept warmer than the other room, ventilated directly from the outdoors. The average increase of the supplied air temperature through the DSF ventilated by fans was $6.54^{\circ}C$ at 78CMH, $6.2^{\circ}C$ at 95CMH, and $3.7^{\circ}C$ at 120CMH. As a result, the DSF with installed fans was appropriate for installation in rooms. It supplies outdoor fresh air heated through a cavity and ventilates a constant air volume.

The University students learn their major or a general education in lecture rooms. In these days, lecturer use frequently various multimedia in lecture room. Appropriate control lighting environment in lecture room should be essential and related in efficient studying. Daylighting on front-side of lecture room will cause glare and students are hard to read contents on white-board at their seat. Therefore, in order to preventing glare we simulated daylighting of lecture room with using computer software in this study. Results from simulation and analysis as follows: The first, if students' left-side is east-oriented in lecture room, best daylighting condition about glare in lecture room. The second, architectural designers can use simulation data of daylighting or simulate data in designing university buildings with lecture rooms. Finally, if reducing size of windows (narrow and deep daylight: more closing vertically, from up to down daylighting: more closing horizontally) we will be able to reduce energy from lecture room.

An experimental facility consisting of two $3{\times}4.4{\times}3.8m$ rooms identical in construction is built. Each room has a control system and storage tank supplying hot water to the radiant floor heating system. The facility enables simultaneous comparision of two different control stratigies each implemented in a separate room. The operating performance of three kinds of flow control scheme is tested and compared in this study : (i) conventional on-off control based on feedback from room air temperature (ii) TPSC(two parameter switching control) (iii) TPOC(two parameter on-off control). Results show that TPSC and TPOC using room air and surface temperature sequentially as feedback signal to control hot water supply is the better temperature regulation scheme than conventional control based on feedback from only room air temperature. They are good candidates for the room with radiant floor heating system under continuous and intermittent heating mode.
