  • To know the effect of smells from eco-friend and existing interior construction materials to human response, EEG of subjects' were measured. EEG signals were measured from 8 electrodes according to the international 10-20 system (Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, Fc3, Fc4, P3, P4) from 10 healthy subjects in seven odor construction material. Followings are results. When stimuli of smell were suggested, non-stimuli pattern of ${\alpha}$-wave is largely in right occipitallobe part and rare in frontallobe part respectively. In case of eco-friend materials' smell, there is a activation of EEG in right occipitallobe part for every stimuli. But in case of eco-friend paint and Hwang-to, ${\alpha}$-wave is appeared in most part of brain even in frontallobe part. Especially for wet cedar case, activation of brain is very positive in right occipitallobe part and in frontallobe part. When comparing the normalized sensitivity of ${\beta}$-wave which appears in negative response, the preference ratio order is like this. Normal paint ${\rightarrow}$ MDF ${\rightarrow}$ Eco-friend paint ${\rightarrow}$ Gypsum board ${\rightarrow}$ Cedar ${\rightarrow}$ Wet cedar ${\rightarrow}$ Hwang-to.

  • Existing studies of building exterior materials have focused on the colors or textures of cladding, and in terms of a design planning approach, have focused on the use of the environment and equipment and fire safety topics from an engineering perspective. As a result, little research has been done on performance guidelines for exterior materials, specifically according to the building type. Research into eco-friendly cladding materials is also in the rudimentary stage in a practical sense. In this study, the use of exterior materials over the last ten years in domestic construction was analyzed. The usage status of building exterior materials was evaluated quantitatively by frequency analysis, and its environmental performance is proposed through complex (qualitative + quantitative) analysis. The average value of the exterior material type number used for all analyzed buildings was 2.59. Glass, metal, stone, resin, cement, wood, and clay were used in that order with regard to the usage status. The analysis found that five of the materials satisfied the high efficiency and eco-friendly grading in terms of the four characteristics of an eco-friendly exterior. A list of eight eco-friendly elements was also proposed. The eco-friendly elements and characteristics of the exterior materials were derived to provide basic guidelines for domestic construction companies and design offices.

  • This study is expected to provide some basic data on how to apply more economical and efficient eco-friendly factors to reduce the carbon emissions. It has been scrutinized and analyzed the environmental factors of passive eco-friendly elements along with active eco-friendly elements as more efficient factors for energy conservation based on the case of a newly constructed broadcasting building with the green building certification in Sangam-dong DMC area. The first analysis was the energy consumption trends in Korea and the necessity of energy saving. Secondly, it was examined the energy consumption in the current status of the broadcasting building. Thirdly, it was looked into the correlation between the eco-friendly design application factors applied to the broadcasting building and the energy consumption types. As a result of the analysis, the application of fan and feed pump inverter along with ventilation system of waste heat recovery ventilation system were more meaningful in accordance with the economic feasibility of broadcasting buildings rather than economical effect of passive elements such as rooftop garden, reinforcement of building insulation. Also, the application of lighting control had the economical feasibility. Therefore, when it is intended to change the green building certification energy related evaluation items of the similar broadcasting building types, it is necessary to change the direction of adding weight to the more economical active element items in the future.

  • Plenty of efforts have been made in the traditional architecture of Korea, Hanok, to develop various elements such as restoration, the introduction of new design, and energy-saving while systemic setups on standard and evaluation of eco-friendly energy design of Hanok are lacking. If we evaluate energy performance based on current standards without reflecting unique features of Hanok on the system, Hanok will be included in the very low grade among the residential buildings being included in the approval system of eco-friendly architecture or the unique features will be modified and the burden of increased construction cost. Therefore, this study is to prepare the basic reference for the introductory evaluation system by evaluating the energy performance level of NEO-Hanok based on the current building energy rating system. The result for NEO-Hanok based on the building energy rating system, we propose the rating standard with scorecard elements of NEO-Hanok by considering the necessity of identity and standard for NEO-Hanok. As a result of infiltration test to check the tightness, it was measured as 10.81 times/h (50 ACH). As we switch from the main insulation for the wall from the glass wool 64k(0.035W/mk) to rigid polyurethane foam first class first unit (0.024W/mk), the result was slightly increased from the first demand quantity rating yield $249.8kWh/m^2{\cdot}yr$ to $235.0kWh/m^2{\cdot}yr$. Current certificate system is focused more on the heating load than the cooling load, it is disadvantageous for Hanok, which has less cooling energy consumption in summer. The rating result from the target building study is level 4.
