During the last decade, an increasing interest in Underfloor Air-Conditioning (UFAC) systems has emerged. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the indoor environmental performance of office buildings with UFAC system in order to develope the design prototype of this system. The physical measurements and the Interviewing survey of occupant's sensation responses to the environment were carried out. Measurements and survey were made of the thermal environmental factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, globe temperature, and the other several environmental factors such as the sound level and the illuminance of working plane, etc. And, the air quality was evaluated by measuring the concentration of suspended particles, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in the room. Furthermore, the paper appraises the various indoor environmental factors of the room by using post-occupancy evaluation (POE) method in office building with UFAC system, and thus, it suggests the basic data for assessing the indoor comfort based on field measurements and survey .

하부 성층권 온도의 추세에 대한 위성관측과 모델 결과들의 상대적인 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 두 종류의 위성관측 MSU 채널 4(57.95GHz) 밝기온도 자료들과 1981${\sim}$1993년 기간의 두 종류의 대순환 모델(ECMWF and GEOS) 재분석 자료들을 시계열 회귀분석으로 상호 비교하였다. 1980${\sim}$1999년 기간의 위성자료는 이 연구에서 유도된 직하점 MSU4와 여러 주사각에서 유도된 SC4(Spencer and Christy, 1993)이다. 위 기간에 전지구에 대한 MSU 하부 성층권 온도는 화산폭발과 관련된 냉각화 경향(-0.35K/decade)을 보였으며, 이러한 경향은 육지보다 해양에서 1.2배 컸다. 자료들의 공통 기간(1981${\sim}$1993년)에 대한 하부 성층권 온도의 아노말리는 두 종류 관측자료와 GEOS에서 전지구적으로 냉각화 경향(-0.14${\sim}$-0.42K/decade)을 보였으나, ECMWF는 북반구를 제외하고 온난화(0.06K/decade)를 보였다. 온도 연주기는 SC4를 제외하고 다른 세 종류 자료에서 유사한 위상과 함께 현저하였다. 온도 추세에 대한 95%신뢰도 조사에서 MSU 채널 4의 하부 성층권 온도에 대한 신뢰도가 채널 2(53.74GHz)의 중간 대류권 온도보다 더 낮았다. 또한 두 기층 사이의 온도 추세 감율이 북반구 육지에서 가장 컸다. MSU4에 대한 SC4 및 모델 재분석 결과들의 상관은 전지구의 경우에 SC4(r=0.96)에서 가장 높았고, ECMWF(r=0.61)에서 가장 낮았다. 한반도의 경우에는 GEOS에서 가장 높았고(r=0.88), ECMWF에서 가장 낮았다(r=0.73). MSU4에 대한 SC4, ECMWF의 상관은 아열대 제트류가 위치하는 $30^{\circ}$ 위도대에서 낮았으나(r<0.6) 그 외의 지역에서는 대체로 높았다(r>0.6). 한반도 부근에서 하부 성층권 온도의 냉각화 경향은 모든 자료에서 공통적으로 나타났다. 이러한 추세는 SC4(-0.82K/decade)에서 가장 컸으며, MSU4(-0.38K/decade), GEOS(-0.28K/decade), ECMWF(-0.07K/decade) 순으로 나타났다.

Buildings are responsible of major energy consumption globally. In addition, they are linked to thermal comfort. The need to provide comfort becomes more crucial in schools as they are the place where students learn, and develop their skills. This research aims to investigate the energy responsiveness of new and traditional school building design, where major variation in form, amount of external walls and glazing are different. The research focused on indoor microclimate condition of selected schools in the city of Jeddah where the climate is hot and humid using advanced tools for monitoring. The research uses advanced energy equipment to measure several aspects such as floor temperature, roof temperature, globe temperature and other factors which can lead to predictable thermal comfort of users. The findings suggest that a larger area of glazing shielded from sunlight has a greater influence on both indoor condition and general thermal sensation. The finding also suggests that the glazing ratio is a major contributor on indoor thermal pattern which can result in an increase in temperature profile between from $7-10^{\circ}C$. The findings of this research can assist in the improvement in the design of the prototype school building in hot and humid climate.

Because of design and manufacturing costs, it is important to predict an expected life of bellows with component stresses of bellows as its design factors and material characteristics. In this study, numerical analyses are carried out to elucidate the thermal and flow characteristics of the bellows-seal gate and globe valves for high temperature (max. $600^{\circ}C$) and for high pressure (max. $104 kgf/cm^2$) conditions. Using commercial codes, FLUENT, which uses FVM and SIMPLE algorithm, and ANSYS, which uses FEM, the pressure and temperature fields are graphically depicted. In addition, when bellows have an axial displacement, thermal stress affecting bellows life is studied. The pressure and temperature values obtained from the flow analyses are adopted as the boundary conditions for thermal stress analyses. As the result of this study, we got the reasonable coefficients for valve and thermal stress for bellows, compared with existing coefficients and calculated values.

Heat watch warning systems are operating in Korea and several other countries (China, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, Australia, and Japan). The heat wave indices used in this system are the heat index, perceived temperature, the wet bulb globe temperature, and the daily maximum temperature. To improve the heat wave advisory and warning system, some suggestions have been made. The meteorological-health index (i.e., indirect index), has especially been proposed in previous studies. This information should be provided not only to vulnerable groups (seniors, infants, and children), but also to outdoor workers who may be particularly exposed to heat waves. In addition, to have sufficient preemptive response times, the need for an extension of the heat watch warning period was suggested. Finally, the subdivision of administrative units and risk stages was proposed.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic cases around the globe has affected Saudi Arabia with around 15, 00,000 confirmed cases within the initial 4 months of transmission. The present investigation analyzed the relationship between daily COVID-19 confirmed cases and meteorological parameters in seventeen cities of KSA. We used secondary published data from the Ministry of Health, KSA daily dataset of COVID-19 confirmed case counts. The meteorological parameters used in the present investigation are temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind speed. Pearson correlation and Spearman rank correlation tests were utilized for data analysis. The incubation period of COVID-19 varies from 1 day to 14 days as per available information. Therefore, an attempt has been made to analyze the effects of meteorological factors with bins of 1, 3, 7, and 14 days. The results suggested that the highest number of correlations (15 cities) was observed for temperature (maximum, minimum, and average) and humidity (12 cities) (minimum and average). The dew point showed relationships for 7 cities and wind showed moderate correlations only for 2 cities. The study results might be useful for authorities and stakeholders in taking specific measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

Holding the longest observation data from April 1904, Busan is one of the essential points to understand the climate variability of the Korean Peninsula without missing data since implementing the modern weather observation of the South Korea. Busan is featured by coastal areas and affected by various climate factors and fluctuations. This study aims to investigate climate variability and changes in climatic variables, extremes, and several weather indexes. The statistically significant change points in daily mean rainfall intensity and temperature were found in 1964 and 1965. Based on the change point detection, 117 years were divided into two periods for daily mean rainfall intensity and temperature, respectively. In the long-term temperature analysis of Busan, the increasing trend of the daily maximum temperature during the period of 1965~2021 was larger than the daily mean temperature and the daily minimum temperature. Applying Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition, daily maximum temperature is largely affected by the decadal variability compared to the daily mean and minimum temperature. In addition, the trend of daily precipitation intensity from 1964~2021 shows a value of about 0.50 mm day^-1, suggesting that the rainfall intensity has increased compared to the preceding period. The results in extremes analysis demonstrate that return values of both extreme temperatures and precipitation show higher values in the latter than in the former period, indicating that the intensity of the current extreme phenomenon increases. For Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (effective humidity), increasing (decreasing) trend is significant in Busan with the second (third)-largest change among four stations.
