The study, considering the fact that most of the recently built atrium buildings do not fulfill their capacity of energy conservation and environmental control, aims to develop design strategies for architects in designing atrium buildings in terms of energy/environment standpoint. The research includes case studies of existing atrium buildings, quantatative analysis of energy performance for atrium buildings and systematic investigation of various aspects of atrium regarding its function of thermal, luminous and acoustical control of a building. The result of the study may contribute to the considerable reduction of energy consumption as well as to improvement of overall building environment.

Indoor thermal environment and energy consumption of buildings are preferentially affected by the microclimate around buildings. It is the first method to improve energy conservation effect of buildings and the ways to utilize natural energy for the comfortable residential environment that the difference between the microclimate condition and the indoor thermal condition is made in minimum as far as possible. There are many factors to control and minimize the difference, but landscape element is the major one among the factors. In this respect, the report analyzes landscape elements and their function to control microclimate and presents basic data for the desirable landscape planning mehtods to improve energy conservation effect of buildings and to attain the comfortable residential environment.

Because the hospital building operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for treatment and restoration of patients, it has a different pattern of energy use than that of ordinary buildings. Hospitals contribute to energy consumption and have a negative environmental impact. This study aims to find how meaningful energy performance, reflecting good energy management and ECMs, can be operated for hospital buildings, a category encompassing complex buildings with different systems and large differences between them. In this study, we proposed the energy diagnosis & evaluation method and energy management process to verify energy saving through operation data based on system & facility characteristics, operation pattern and energy consumption characteristics of hospital building. Energy consumption structures were surveyed throughout 4 reference hospital in Seoul, Korea. Findings confirm that different hospital departments have hugely different energy-demand profiles. Energy efficiency and energy saving potentials are presented. The energy performance analysis can be applied to a wide range of problems in energy-system operation.

The main idea of this study is to propose a BIM-based automation system drawing up a report of energy conservation plan in the architecture division. In order to obtain a building permit, an energy conservation plan must be prepared for buildings with a total floor area of 500m² or more under the current law. Currently, it is adopted as a general method to complete a report by obtaining data and drawings necessary for an energy conservation plan through manual work and input them directly into the verification system. This method takes a lot of effort and time in the design phase which ultimately increases the initial cost of the business, including the services of companies specialized in the environmental field. However, in preparation for mandatory BIM work process in the future, it is necessary to introduce BIM-based automatic creation system that has an advantage for shortening the whole process to enable rapid permission of energy-saving designs for buildings. There may be many methods of automation, but this study introduces how to build an application using Dynamo of Revit, in terms of utilizing BIM, and write an energy conservation plan by automatic completion of report through Dynamo and Excel's VBA algorithm, which can save time and cost in preparing the report of energy conservation plan compared with the manual process. Also we have insisted that the digital transformation of architectural process is a necessary for an efficient use of our automation system in the current energy conservation plan workflow.

The task, development of the exemplary patterns for the application of passive solar systems in residential buildings, is very crucial regarding government policies toward energy conservation. So various measurements, evaluation, and feasibility studies are performed in addition to their architectural design and detailed drawings. In conclusion, passive solar systems are effective and economical when they are applied to residential buildings for heating systems.

In recent years, the energy consumption in building sector has been increased greatly because of the rapid pace of urbanization and of the growing economy. In this paper, the current status and problems of energy consumption in buildings are presented. And several modification options which reduce the energy consumption are suggested. Finally five considerations for energy saving policy are presented in brief.

An energy problem has become one of the many Problems awaiting solution to human society. Energy needs to support not only industry, but also building in city. The types of residential building, office building and public building account for much proportion among the totally amount used energy. A public institution shows a fine example for an energy conservation in the present situation. But, the amount used energy of electricity, air-conditioning and heating is different from a building use and condition. Because the building data of the energy consumption by a load is insufficient, it is unable to select a proper energy source. According to this study, it analyzed an energy load by each building that had investigated the actual conditions of energy consumption about public buildings in Daegu City. In order to plan the efficient energy use both existing buildings and new buildings, this study will present the efficient energy use plan, which has operated to new buildings of a public institution, at present.

Guidelines and institutional support for buildings are being promoted around the world as measures for environmental pollution and energy conservation. In Korea, standards are prepared according to the energy saving design standards of new buildings as amended in 2013.09.01 and the zero energy building for new buildings mandatory process is being prepared from the recommendations. Nevertheless, the government's binding power on smaller buildings is insufficient. Energy savings were analyzed for the recently constructed office buildings (application of external insulation technique) and propose a dual envelope techniques were proposed for energy reduction.

This paper shows efficient peak demand control method in office buildings. With a rapid growth of national economics and living standard, electrical energy consumption markedly increased. Expecially, it is increased electrical energy comsumption in the office buildings and thus an energy conservation through efficient use of electricity became more important. From the data of electric equipment capacity and electric power consumption for 96 buildings, current levels of demand factor and a growth trend of peak loads by office buildings were surveyed and analyzed. In addition the efficient peak demand control method in office buildings were studied.

The energy conservation in buildings affects environmental preservation as well as economic benefits, and creates the comfortable indoor environment set for the inhabitants. Especially, apartment buildings show ever-increasing energy consumption with large-sized and high-class tendency, thus energy saving counterplans are needed. The present study is to develop an optical control algorithm by using heating load curve according to the outdoor temperature change. Heating load analysis should be performed before the present method can be applied. Dynamic heating load simulations are performed by resistance-capacitance method. Results show that heating load decrease linearly according to the increase of outdoor temperature.
