The purpose of this study is on the performance evaluation of horizontally installed GHEX(Geothermal Heat Exchanger, HGHEX) which has been operated for 5 years successfully. Followings are the results. Firstly, in summer season, on Aug. 2000, $33^{\circ}C$ water was flowing out from HGHEX with continuous operating method, and $27{\sim}29^{\circ}C$ with interval operating method on Jul. 2005. But $2.5{\sim}3.0^{\circ}C$ temperature differences are gained from HGHEX. Secondly, in winter season, on Nov. 2000, $25^{\circ}C$ water was flowing out from HGHEX with continuous operating method, and $13{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ with interval operating method on Jan. 2006. But with each operating method, only $0.1^{\circ}C$ and $0.7^{\circ}C$ temperature differences are gained from HGHEX respectively. As the conclusion of this study, at the point of continuos operating method, seasonal balance of heating and cooling loads, and at the point of interval operating method, balance for geothermal restoring time respectively must be considered for better system performances.

Ground source heat pumps are clean, energy-efficient and environment-friendly systems cooling and heating. Although the initial cost of ground source heat pump system is higher than that of air source heat pump, it is now widely accepted as an economical system since the installation cost can be returned within an short period of time due to its high efficiency. In the present study, performances of ground source compound hybrid heat pump system applied to a large community building are simulated. The system design and operation process appropriate for the surrounding circumstance guarantee the high benefit of the heat pump system applied to a large community building. If among several renewable energy sources, ground, river, sea, waste water source are chosen as available alternative energies are combined, COP of the system can be increased largely and hybrid heat pump system can reduced the fuel cost.

Stirling engine is a promising heat engine with a high efficiency, muti-fuel capability, low emission, quiet operation, very low maintenance and long life. As one of the promising applications, solar power system based on the Stirling dish, providing net solar-to-electric conversion efficiencies reaching 30%, can operate as stand-alone units in remote locations or can be linked together in groups to provide utility-scale power. This paper introduced a new Scroll-type Stirling engine, being developed for solar power, superior to conventional Stirling engines. The Scroll-type Stirling engine is characterized as traits of continuous and wholly separated compression and expansion; one-way flow system; direct cooling and heating the fluid in the working spaces through the extensive inner surfaces of scroll wraps. All theses traits contribute to achieving thermodynamic cycle closer to the ideal Stirling cycle (exactly speaking, Ericsson cycle).

Recently, utilization of building foundations as ground-coupled heat exchangers has attracted much attention because they reduce the cost and enhance the heat transfer. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of energy-slab ground-coupled heat exchanger installed in a commercial building. In order to demonstrate the energy transfer characteristics of the energy-slab, experiments were conducted from October 2010 to September 2011. The 1-year measurement results showed that the mean EWTs of brine returning from the energy-slab were $9.6^{\circ}C$ in heating season and $24.9^{\circ}C$ in cooling season, which were in a range of design target temperatures. In addition, the geothermal heat pump system with the energy-slab showed on-off operation according to the setting temperatures of secondary fluid in water storage tank. The results also showed that the energy-slab extracted heat of 198.6 kW from the ground and injected heat of 318.9 kW to the ground, respectively.

As a series of 'Performance Assessment of Building Envelopes I: Double Skin Facade', three types (interior, exterior, mixed (int.&ext.)) of lightshelves and RetroLux were examined in terms of $CO_2$ emissions. It is shown that the exterior lightshelf could achieve the most energy savings (9.6-38.7%) in general office buildings due to blocking solar radiation before entering the indoor space. However, the interior lightshelf is the worst (1.4-5.2%) among three of them. The RetroLux has two components: (1) sun-reflector (first louver component), (2) light shelf for improving daylight induction (second louver component). Due to these two components, solar radiation from windows is filtered depending on seasonal variation (solar altitude). Therefore, the RetroLux can reduce 18.0-27.9% of annual energy consumption (both cooling and heating), and $552-3,290Won/m^2{\cdot}yr$ of operation cost is saved.

2016년 경주 지진에 이어 2017년 포항 지진까지 발생한 대한민국은 더 이상 지진에 대해 안전지대라고 할 수 없다. 이에 따라 재난환경에 적합한 피난시설의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경량 복합패널을 이용하여 기존 피난시설의 단점들을 보완할 수 있는 구호주거를 제작하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경량 복합패널로 구성된 구호주거에 대한 구조 성능과 에너지성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 구호주거의 구조 성능을 평가하기 위해 경량 복합패널로 제작한 시스템에 대한 횡하중가력 실험을 진행하였다. 실험체는 접합 방식을 변수로 하여 2가지로 구성하였다. 또한 KBC 2016에 따라 실험체에 대한 지진하중과 풍하중을 산정하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 에너지성능은 냉난방 및 조명에너지 사용량을 최소화하기 위해 기준 패널을 활용한 남측창호 최적화기법을 활용하여 분석하였고, 창면적비, 창 총일사취득율 최적화를 진행하였다. 결과적으로 경량 복합패널로 제작된 실험체는 횡하중에 대해 충분히 안전한 성능을 보일 것으로 판단되며, 창면적비 0.38, 총일사취득율 0.5수준의 최적화 계획을 통한 저에너지 운용이 기대된다.

The dynamic pricing of electricity, where the electricity rate increases in a time zone with a high demand for electricity is typically applied to a building whose power reception capacity is greater than a certain size. This includes the time of use(TOU) electricity pricing in Korea which can induce the effect of reducing the power demand of a building. Meanwhile, a VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system that uses electricity is regarded as one of the typical heating and cooling systems along with central air conditioning (central HVAC) for its easy operation and application to the building. Thus, to reduce power energy and operating costs of a building in which the TOU and VRF systems are applied simultaneously, we suggested a control for changing the indoor temperature setting within the thermal comfort range or limiting the rotational speed of an inverter compressor. In this study, to describe the features of the above-mentioned control and verify its effects, we evaluated the results obtained from the analysis of its operation data. Through the actual measurements in winter operations for 73 days since mid- December 2014, we confirmed a reduction of 10.9% in power energy consumption and 12.2% in operating costs by the new control. Also, a reduction of 13.3% in power energy consumption was identified through a regression analysis.

본 연구에서는 분당복합화력발전소의 축열조 증설과 이에 따른 운영 방식 최적화를 통해 예상되는 온실가스 감축 효과에 대한 방법론과 정량화를 기술하였다. 분당복합화력은 일산, 안양, 부천복합화력과 함께 복합화력과 열공급 전용 지역난방발전소의 중간 형태이다. 이는 자체 운전 모드 변경을 통해 복합화력 기능인 전력만을 공급하는 것과 지역난방 기능의 전력 및 열을 동시 공급하는 운전 형태 변환이 가능하다는 의미이다. 따라서 축열조를 증설함으로써 고효율 모드인 전력 및 열을 동시 생산하는 열병합 발전과 전력 피크 부하를 위한 복합발전으로의 운전전환을 통해 전력 및 열공급시장의 요구량에 유연성 있게 대처할 수는 공급능력을 가지게 된다. 본 연구는 분당복합화력의 최근 3년(2008~2010년) 운전실적과 각 운전모드별 운전효율은 설계치를 사용하여 계산하였으며, 그 결과 증설된 축열조에 공급되는 축열량 1 Gcal당 GHG 감축 효과는 $97.95kg_{-}CO_2/Gcal$로 연간 약 $13,500Ton_{-}CO_2$의 감축 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
