  • An increase in the design of commercial buildings with daylighting is beginning to receive more attention, claimed by some as a second revolution in architecture. The benefits of daylighting may vary significantly because a characteristic of daylight is the way in which it varies. Indirect sunlight, however, received in the interior of a building after reflection, can serve a useful purpose as the main source of illumination. In a cloudy climate it can serve as an occasional welcome addition to the available skylight. Also, site constraints or surrounding urban context may necessitate using reflected light sources, or such sources may be an integral part of the overall design objectives and aesthetics of the proposed projects. When reflected sunlight is introduced into a space, its role in general illumination is what is of interest in this study. Results show that reflected sunlight may help the general illumination in almost same level of significance as daylight from diffuse sky. It is also summarized that the contribution of reflected sunlight to general illumination through the year round may be even and uniform regardless of the season. Consequently, introduction of reflected sunlight should be regarded as one of the successful means to enhance the visual environment in quantitative and qualitative way.

  • 최근 들어 도시화에 따른 개발압력으로 기존시가지에 있는 학교 등의 이적지는 시설 폐지로 인해 대다수가 아파트 부지를 비롯한 타 용도로 전환되고 있는 실정이다. 학교시설의 입지는 용도지역에서 큰 규제를 받지 않으며, 시가화구역이 아닌 녹지지역에서도 입지가 가능하기 때문에 상대적으로 이적지 발생의 중요한 부분이 되고 있다. 특히 학교시설은 학생들의 통학거리와 근린주거구역단위 배치 등을 감안하여 입지가 이뤄져야 하고, 입지결정시 고려할 요건 중에서 시설 및 이용자의 안전성 그리고 교육환경 측면을 감안한 입지가 요구되기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부산시역내 학교시설 이적지의 이전 전후 비교를 통해 어떠한 입지특성을 보이는지를 규명하고자 한다.

  • This paper discusses the results and observations from a large-scale fire test conducted on a slim floor system, comprising asymmetric beams, rectangular hollow section beams and a composite floor slab. The structure was subjected to a fire where the fire load (combustible material) was higher that that found in typical office buildings and the ventilation area was artificially controlled during the test. Although the fire behaviour was not realistic it was designed to follow as closely as possible the time-temperature response used in standard fire tests, which are used to assess individual structural members and forms the bases of current fire design methods. The presented test results are limited, due to the malfunction of the instrumentation measuring the atmosphere and member temperatures. The lack of test data hinders the presentation of definitive conclusions. However, the available data, together with observations from the test, provides for the first time a useful insight into the behaviour of the slim floor system in its entirety. Analysis of the test results show that the behaviour of the beam-to-column connections had a significant impact on the overall structural response of the system, particularly when the end-plate of one of the connections fractured, during the fire.

  • Serviceability rather than strength is the most critical design requirement for vibration-vulnerable floor constructions. Annoying vibrations due to normal walking activity have been observed more frequently on long-span lightweight floor systems in office and commercial retail buildings, raising the need for the development of floor vibration design procedures. This paper highlights some limitations of one of the most commonly used guidelines AISC/CISC DG11, and proposes improvements to this method. Design charts and approximate closed form formulas to estimate the walking response are developed in which various factors relating to the dynamic characteristics of both the floor and the excitation are considered. The accuracy of the proposed formulas and other proposals found in the literature is examined. The proposed modifications would be significant, especially with long-span floors where vibration levels may be underestimated by the current design procedure. The application of the proposed prediction method is illustrated by worked examples that reveal a good agreement with results obtained from finite element analyses and experiments. The presented work would enhance the accuracy and maintain the simplicity and convenience of the design guideline.

  • Daylighting has a very effective role in reducing power consumption and improving indoor environments in office buildings. Previously, it was not under consideration as a major source of renewable energy due to poor reliability in the design. Optical fiber as a transmission medium in the daylighting system demands uniform distribution of light to solve cost, heat, and efficiency issues. Therefore, this study focuses on the uniform distribution of sunlight through the fiber bundle and to the interior of the building. To this end, two efficient approaches for the fiber-based daylighting system are presented. The first approach consists of a parabolic mirror, and the second approach contains a Fresnel lens. Sunlight is captured, guided, and distributed through the concentrator, optical fibers, and lenses, respectively. At the capturing stage, uniform illumination solves the heat problem, which has critical importance in making the system cost-effective by introducing plastic optical fibers. The efficiency of the system is increased by collimated light, which helps to insert maximum light into the optical fibers. Furthermore, we find that the hybrid system of combining sunlight and light emitting diode light gives better illumination levels than that of traditional lighting systems. Simulation and experimental results have shown that the efficiency of the system is better than previous fiber-based daylighting systems.

  • The term “energy saving is economical” is appropriate for the national view point and for design and assessment of one system, but not appropriate when choosing the system by comparing alternative systems in the early design step. Sometimes, non-energy saving system is more economical than energy saving system because of the price of electricity, gas or oil, which are used for operating the air conditioning system. Therefore, when designing a system, we should consider the efficient alternatives through economic assessment of energy saving method. However, research on non-operating number control of the system is not sufficient because it is more common to use operating number control of the system for most economic assessment of air conditioning systems. For this reason, this research can provide the economic operating number control method as basic design data. The data obtained through analysis of life cycle cost based on amount of yearly energy use, are produced by system simulation of HASP/ACLD/8501 and HASP/ACSS/8502 for six alternative heating$.$cooling systems based on seasonal air conditioning system, which is widely used for medium and large size office buildings in Busan.

  • This study aims to examine the impacts of built environmental features on the nocturnal and diurnal temperatures during the heat wave season in Gwangju, Korea. Built environmental measures are summarized at micro-scale level, such as 50 meters and 100 meters from temperature monitoring spots. Regressing the built environment on nocturnal and diurnal temperatures, we estimate how the artificial constructs contribute to temperature either day and night times. We found that impervious surface ratio is positively and negatively associated with nocturnal and diurnal temperatures, respectively. Buildings and structures tend to construct high thermal mass and absorb heat during day time and emit it for the night time. This property contributes to the nocturnal temperature model. On the other hand, urban areas with more vertical structure tend to block sun radiation more than rural, and it is more likely to find the negative relationship between impervious surface ratio and the diurnal temperatures.

  • 전력선은 동축선이나 광섬유 링크와는 대조적으로 제한된 전송전력, 높은 부하 간섭과 잡음, 가변하는 감쇠 및 임피던스 레벨 등의 문제를 안고 있으나, 별도의 통신선로가 필요없이 신호와 전원을 동시에 제공 할수 있는 잇점이 있으므로 가정 자동화 및 근거리 통신 목적으로 가치 있는 채널을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 220V의 AC전력선을 이용하여 1200bps의 디지털 신호를 송수신할 수 있는 OOK BASK모뎀을 구현하였다. 수신 신호의 복조를 위해 비동기 검파 방식을 택하였으며, 연성판정(soft decision)을 수행하였다. 대부분의 과정을 단일 칩 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하여 하드웨어를 대폭 간소화하였다. 또한 유럽의 표준인 CENELEC의 규격에 적합하도록 설계되었으며, 가정 자동화 시스템으로 적절히 응용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Due to reinforcement of international environment regulation and high oil prices, interest in renewable energy is growing. Countries participating in UNFCCC are continuously putting efforts in reducing greenhouse gas after enforcing Kyoto Protocol into effect on Feb, 2005. Energy used in buildings, which relies heavily on fossil fuel accounts for about 24% of total energy consumption. In this study, air, geothermal and water source heat pump systems for an 322 $m^2$ auditorium in an office building is simulated using TRNSYS version 17 for comparing energy consumptions. The results show that energy consumptions of air, geothermal and water source heat pumps are 14,485, 10,249, and 10,405 kWh, respectively. Annual equal payments which consider both initial and running costs become 5,734,521, 6,403,257 and 5,596,058 Won. Thus, water source heat pump is the best economical choice.

  • In the work package 'Integrated Positioning' of the research project NAVIO (Pedestrian Navigation Systems in Combined Indoor/Outdoor Environements) we are dealing with the navigation and guidance of visitors of our University. Thereby start points are public transport stops in the surroundings of the Vienna University of Technology and the user of the system should be guided to certain office rooms or persons. For the position determination of the user different location sensors are employed, i.e., for outdoor positioning GPS and dead reckoning sensors such as a digital compass and gyro for heading determination and accelerometers for the determination of the travelled distance as well as a barometric pressure sensor for altitude determination and for indoor areas location determination using WiFi fingerprinting. All sensors and positioning methods are combined and integrated using a Kalman filter approach. Then an optimal estimate of the current location of the user is obtained using the filter. To perform an adequate weighting of the sensors in the stochastic filter model, the sensor characteristics and their performance was investigated in several tests. The tests were performed in different environments either with free satellite visibility or in urban canyons as well as inside of buildings. The tests have shown that it is possible to determine the user's location continuously with the required precision and that the selected sensors provide a good performance and high reliability. Selected tests results and our approach will be presented in the paper.
