  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of various control strategies in commercial buildings which have been operated by the variable air volume (VAV) system. Two buildings in Seoul were chosen for the field study. The one (D building) combined by LonWorks has the constant airflow of supply fan and the proportional control of VAV units (damper type). The other (S building) combined by DDC has the PI control mode of the supply fan and the floating control of VAV units (venturi type). In estimating thermal comfort and energy performance through control modes of PI, PID, and CAV in the supply fan, we could identify several energy efficient operating control strategies for the VAV system.

  • This research and technology development project is based on the concept and plan of Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd., and designed by Nikken Sekkei Ltd., and is aiming to realize 350 m supertall timber-framed buildings in urban areas by 2041, the 350 year anniversary of Sumitomo Forestry's founding(Fig. 1). By constructing office-based multi-use buildings which have 70 stories above ground with GFA of 455,000 ㎡, using a huge amount of timber of 185,000 ㎥, this project envisions to connect forests and cities, and to solve the problems in both of forests and cities. At the present stage, the main objective is to identify the issues related to wood, such as building structural systems, construction methods, materials used, and resource development, and to create a roadmap for future technologies to be researched and developed.

  • When the tall office building first appeared in the street of Chicago in the end of Nineteenth Century, this building type has become a commodity in the development of real estate and been defined as a machine that makes the land pay. With the investigation of land price samples of the high-rise commercial buildings and the overall land price development in the central district of International Settlement in Shanghai, this paper tries to examine the site selection and construction of high-rise commercial buildings have important positive effect on the land value development.

  • As cognizance of necessity of environmentally friendly building is growing, techniques to construct environmentally friendly envelope of contemporary architecture is being changed and developed. Though the stream of times likes this, applications of those are focused on office buildings but rarely on residential projects. A begin of this study is to address analysis of environmentally friendly envelope techniques in urban housing in Europe constructed after 1995 which is the very time that the notion of ecological architecture. The result of this analysis should be a suggestion of radical data to make buildings be more buildings be more environmentally friendly and having amenities.

  • Energy systems in increasing energy efficiency are actively performed at home and abroad. But Generally systems in the country are limited in a new building or sort of some buildings like a public and office building. So, this research suggest a new direction of energy system for existing buildings. It need to set a new bound for containing the green remodeling. For a direction, we analysis domestic energy system in perform and compared their bounds, standard and methods of energy evaluation. This study is necessary for an additional research for proposing detailed evaluation items and for a feasibility study research. And it contribute to develope internal energy systems and set a new system bound.

  • Solar sunlighting systems are useful to apply for most buildings. This study aims to analysis the development and architectural application of solar sunlighting systems. For the purpose, abroad developing situation of solar sunlighting systems were investigated and analyzed literally. And, by case studies, architectural application methods are analyzed. As results, light pipe systems are mainly used for small building and houses. Also solar mirror systems are used for atrium and underground spaces. Lens-fiber systems are applied for high rise buildings and office buildings which internally have no influx of sunlighting. Some application suggestion in our country are discussed.

  • This study is to analyze the remodeling method of library in terms of space extension method and urban regeneration by repurposing function in unused facilities through case study. In many case of library extension, horizontal extensions are more frequent than vertical extensions, because there are limits to extend vertically due to high live load estimation by book stacks. Extension schemes was organized by new building extension method in connection with existing buildings, attaching method small scaled mass or linear mass to existing building, connecting method a plurality of existing small buildings, vertical extension method on the top of the structure, underground extension method using special structure. Unused facility remodeling to the library, large scaled buildings can be developed completely to the function of the library through the relocation of the space, while small scaled building needs spatial extension. In the case of spatial extension, existing space that was used for other purposes can be used as a reading room or office, avoiding high live load estimation.

  • To Provide pleasant building environment and the ease of maintenance and facility management, many new office buildings are being built as intelligent buildings. Building control systems which are employed in intelligent buildings require advanced types of controllers and varieties of control schemes. Designing and installation of these types of advanced building control systems take a lot of effort and also they are costly. In order to design these systems, it is necessary for the designers to have means to analyze and estimate the performance of control systems. In this paper, the results of the simulator for HVAC and elevator system are presented as the first stage of the development of the integrated simulator. For the development of simulator, ARENA which is the general-purpose software tool for the simulation with reinforced GUI is used.

  • Nowadays, large-scale office buildings have been multistoried, mechanized, and functioned with economic growth. These buildings have improved and developed technical and designated respects in varied society. Even though these buildings are in improved situation, working places which are one of the most important parts have not developed enough their functions and shapes. Working environments that were ignored have come a big issue to rise efficiency and productivity. Working functions and work's opinions did not examine and analyze because of careless cognition of working places. In these reason, workers are engaged in inconvenient surroundings that already set improper way or not to develope environments that obstructs productivity. Working places which were ignored in the past have come a big issue to rise productivity and efficiency. Now, the goal of this research is to reform working places more efficient and functional by examining by examining working environment and proper arrangements.

  • The ECO2 building energy simulation program is used on the assessment project for building energy certification of non-dwelling buildings in Korea. In the design of energy efficient buildings, it is beneficial to identify the most important design parameters in oder to more efficiently develop alternative design solutions or reach optimized design solutions. The sensitivity analyses will be used at a reasonable early stage of the building design process, where it is still possible to influence the most important design parameters. In this study, the sensitivity analysis is focused on building envelope parameters such as U-values, SHGC and Wall-window ration.
