The research analyzes the arrangement of boiler and hot water header, the method of radiator pipe setting, hot water supply control, hourly heating situation of each room for underfloor radiant heating systems in Korea and suggests an alternative to improve to efficient heating method. One of the best options for install position of hot water distributor is under kitchen sink which is center point of all rooms, according to previous research of the energy saving strategies. When the radiator pipes are arranged to each individual room instead of bedrooms through livingroom and kitchen, it has energy saving effects. For rooms without occupancy according to a time period, hot water supply method should be intermittent heating rather than continuous heating. For this intermittent heating method, individual control of hot water supply is more practical, and it can lead to massive energy savings. The intermittent heating system has time-lag, so it is more effective in energy saving with mild and comfort condition if the spaces are preheated by automatic control equipment prior to required time.

우리나라는 1960년대 이후 국가 경제성장에 힘입어 사회적·경제적으로 주민 생활에 큰 변화가 있었으며 특히 미혼 여성의 경제적 자립, 청년층의 만혼(晩婚), 중년층의 이혼, 고령층의 사별 증가 등으로 전체 가구의 29%가 1인 가구인 시대로 되었다. 하지만 급격히 증가하고 있는 1인 가구에 대한 연구가 인구가 밀집된 대도시에 거주하는 1인 가구에 치중되어 본 연구는 지방 중소도시에 거주하는 1인 가구의 특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과 지방 중소도시는 도시특성에 따라 성장 정체도시, 산업 선도도시, 지역 거점도시, 인구 유출도시 등으로 구분되며 도시유형에 따라 1인 가구특성도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 성장 정체도시에서의 1인 가구는 산업활동의 근간이 되는 30-40대 연령대가 적으며 자가인 단독주택에서 방 3개 이상에 거주하는 장년층 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 장년층 위주의 장기임대주택 및 쉐어하우스 등의 주택공급과 함께 사회적 교류를 위한 단지형 연립주택과 다세대 주택공급정책이 필요하다. 산업 선도도시에서의 1인 가구는 모든 연령대에 고루 분포되어 있으며 아파트 거주비율이 타 유형에 비해 가장 높은 것으로 나타나 행복주택 등 청년층 주택공급과 함께 기존주택에 대한 재건축 및 리모델링을 통하여 청·장년층 1인 가구의 주택수요에 대처하여야겠다. 지역 거점도시의 1인 가구는 대졸 학력에 20대 이하의 미혼 가구가 많고 월세주택에서 방 1개에 거주하는 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 청년층을 위한 소형 주택공급을 확대하는 한편 아파트, 오피스텔 등의 분양주택과 전월세 주택공급을 통해 청년층 주거안정에 초점을 맞추어야 겠다. 인구 유출도시에서의 1인 가구는 초졸 학력에 사별한 가구가 많고 자가인 단독주택에서 방 4개 이상에 거주하는 노령층 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 고령자 복지주택 등 노령층 위주의 단지형 주택공급을 통해 사회적, 문화적 교류가 가능한 주거환경을 만들고 분산된 주택거주 형태를 집단적 거주형태로 주거공간을 개선할 필요가 있다.

Single household is expected to be the typical form of future Korean elderly household from reduction of household size and rapid growth of the elderly. As Japanese solve the same problem with Senior Sharehouse, a case study on Senior Sharehouse in japan focused on the Spatial Arrangement and Spatial Composition could suggest an potential applications in Korea. In conclusion, compare to Korea, the Senior Sharehouse in Japan supplies additional $7.5{\sim}9.3m^2$ more space to support the physical movement of the elderly and to help the elderly to solve various functions at one space. The independence and privacy of residents are also assured by supplying single occupancy. Space analysis shows that public space is as spacious (47.3~55%) as personal space. The result of the Space analysis suggests that the sharehouse provides rational ratio of space to assure residents' independence. It was supposed that the center type would be the main stream of the Spatial Arrangement for sharehouse considering its characteristic of sharing space. But, the Senior Sharehouse in Japan prefers corner type. The guarantee of personal space is being considered as a important characteristic. As a result of case analysis, Senior Sharehouse can be a proper type of house for single elderly household and present study can be used for the baseline data to solve the residence problem for single elderly household in Korea.

In this study, we developed a heat supply control algorithm that minimizes the heat loss in the heat distribution pipelines used for supplying heat energy to shared group housing. Controlling the temperature and flow rate of the hot water supplied to the heat exchanger for shared group housing enables us to develop a heat supply control technique that meets the heating load required by each household in a shared apartment building in accordance with changes in the outdoor air temperature, and that minimizes the heat loss occurring in the heat distribution pipeline. A one-year study in 2008 on a 1,473-household D-apartment building in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, compared the heat capacity used by each household, as well as the heat capacity supplied to the heat exchanger room of the apartment housing building, to calculate the amount of heat loss in the heat distribution pipeline. The results confirmed that 24.1% of the heat supplied was lost in the piping.
