A construction method allowing exterior insulation working to be carried out simultaneously with vertical structural work through modification of the temporary vertical system form could be a breakthrough to invigorate exterior insulation construction in high-rise apartments. Therefore, the purpose of this study, as a preliminary study for developing such a method, was to derive significant engineering characteristics (E.C) using QFD which can reflect the users' need for E.C. Based on this result, a construction method will be developed in further research.

As part of recent low-energy policies, thermal insulation standards for buildings are being tightened every year. The importance of external insulation methods is increasing due to the strengthening of insulation standards. Among the main materials used in the external insulation method, dry bit material is a finishing material composed of an organic binder and aggregate. When the fire occurs, the ignition of the surface part causes a direct fire on the thermal insulation material at the rear side when heat energy is concentrated. Therefore, it is important that the finishing material in dry insulation using a dry bit has a low fire spreading property in case of a fire and does not have a sustained combustion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fire spreadability by changing the internal fillers while using alkoxide-based acrylic emulsions, hybrid acrylic emulsions, and general acrylic emulsions in order to suppress the fire spreading properties of exterior finish materials.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the standard models for rural housing and wooden housing model have performance for hygrothermal and to propose a way of improvement relevant to hygrothermal performance for those models. All of the models to be analyzed were found to have some parts that were absent of stability in terms of performance for hygrothermal. In the process of analyzing the causes and proposing improvement measures, the following conclusions were derived. Fist, The exterior surface of the structure should be composed of a structure with good moisture permeability, and for the interior surface, a variable vapor retarder paper should be applied in consideration of the reverse condensation phenomenon in summer. Second, in terms of performance for hygrothermal, applications of external insulation plaster finish to the exterior wall or of ventilation method using a rafter vent on the roof should be avoided. Third, a rain screen method with a ventilation layer should be applied to the exterior wall, and a method of constructing ventilation layer separated from the insulation layer with a vapor retarder paper should be applied to the roof. Fourth, the application of insulation materials having capillary action, such as wood fiber insulation board or cellulose insulation board, contributes to more stable performance for hygrothermal.

External insulation method is used to conserve energy of buildings. However, the current external insulation method uses organic insulating materials to become a diffusion path in case of fire. In this study, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the required performance of the plastering material according to the CaCO₃ powder addition of the finishing material of the external insulation method. In Figure 1, when powder was added, the adhesion strength decreased by 30% to 35% at 10% and 0% to 50% at 20% compared to Plain. In Figure 2, the moisture permeability increases approximately twice when powder is added. The results for the water absorption coefficient are shown in Figure 3.

Zero-energy construction is being emphasized due to environmental pollution. However, in the case of external insulation using organic insulation with good insulation performance, there are many studies on inorganic insulation as it shows limitations on fire stability. In addition, as the demand for stone for exterior walls increases, Cellular Light -weight Concrete(CLC) with polymer is used to supplement fire stability and insulation performance, and the construction of stone is complemented by combining organic insulation, inorganic insulation, and stone. In this study, the compressive strength and adhesion in tension of CLC are studied. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength of 28 days according to the polymer addition rate did not change. The adhesion in tension according to the polymer addition rate tends to increase as the addition rate increases. The target adhesion in tension is 0.8 MPa, but the maximum value of the experiment did not reach the target value, and further research was needed to combine to maintain the density and improve the adhesion in tension.

Purpose: The balcony in the apartment is important space not only as a fire escape but also as a buffer for heat and sound insulation. However, with the legalization of balcony expansion for residential apartments in Korea in 2006, many households have eliminated the balcony space altogether to increase the inner space, often without sufficient consideration for the effects on the indoor environment. This study examined the sound insulation performance of exterior-facing windows in enclosed balconies and the changes in the indoor acoustic environment due to expansion to provide a basis for appropriate balcony expansion. The apartments for the field test were chosen where two balcony types can be compared, and the sound insulation performance for the eighteen balcony windows was measured. The windows installed were typical double window with thickness 16 mm or 22 mm. Measurements of the weighted standard sound pressure level difference showed a decrease of about 3 dB in sound insulation performance due to expansion. For common exterior noise levels of 70-85 dB(A), the indoor noise level can exceed 45 dB(A), the limit level regulated in Korea. However, it was found that the sound insulation performance of the window and the quality of the construction have more influence on indoor noise levels than balcony expansion itself.

To overcome the limitation in relation to thermal insulator's selection and installation method that is suitable for exterior insulation and waterproof construction methods, a production basis of thermal insulators of which manufacturing knowhow is held by companies was ensured and future-oriented construction methods to adopt new materials were applied. Performance verification was conducted through performance and mock-up tests of thermal transmittance on the cross sections where the flexible insulators were applied based on the improved prototype and performance data were obtained. To overcome the biggest drawbacks (walking feeling and damage etc.) in the exterior insulation and waterproof construction method, inserting a protective layer between thermal insulator and water-proof layer was proposed, and polypropylene corrugated cardboards.

The unit curtain wall is an exterior finish currently used on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings. Curtain walls used as non-endurance walls are largely classified into stick curtain walls and unit curtain walls, and their use has recently been on the rise to reduce risks at construction sites through factory manufacturing. Accordingly, this study attempted to examine the insulation performance according to the shape of the unit curtain wall profile through insulation simulation.

This study proposed vision artificial intelligence-based automated supervision technology for external insulation and finishing system, and basic research was conducted for it. The automated supervision technology proposed in this study consists of the object detection model (YOLOv5) and the part that derives necessary information based on the object detection result and then determines whether the external insulation-related adhesion regulations are complied with. As a result of a test, the judgement accuracy of the proposed model showed about 70%. The results of this study are expected to contribute to securing the external insulation quality and further contributing to the realization of energy-saving eco-friendly buildings. As further research, it is necessary to develop a technology that can improve the accuracy of the object detection model by supplementing the number of data for model training and determine additional related regulations such as the adhesive area ratio.
