Recently, regulation of ventilator installation and its details has been revised and the establishment of heat recovery ventilator in newly built apartments has been obligated. This study was done to offer the method of operation and design of heat recovery ventilator to save energy by measuring its efficiency and comparing with the results of experiment. This paper confirmed that it is desirable to operate heat recovery ventilator by using "by-pass mode" within $60{\sim}80%$ scope of the difference indoor absolute humidity in spring and autumn and outdoor absolute humidity and heat recovery ventilator of energy saving effect is better than constant air volume system.

With the improvement of living standards, the ventilation for the mitigation of indoor or outdoor air-pollution problems has recently attracted a lot of attention. Consequently, the ventilation for the supply of outdoor fresh air into a room is treated as an important building-design factor. The ventilation is generally divided into the forced and natural types; here, the former can control the ventilation rate by using mechanical devices, but it has the disadvantages of the equipment costs, maintenance costs, and noise generation, while the latter is applied to most workshops due to the absence of noise and the low installation and maintenance costs. In this experimental study, the ventilation performance of a typical rotating-type natural ventilator, which is called a "wind turbine," was investigated with the outdoor-wind velocity and the indoor/outdoor-temperature difference. From the experiment results, it was confirmed that the temperature difference of $10^{\circ}C$ corresponds to the ventilation driving force with an outdoor-wind velocity of 1.0 m/s. Additionally, the intake-opening area of a building also exerts a great effect on the ventilation rates.

Most of radiant floor heating systems are operated in the intermittent heating mode in Korea. The application possibility of predictive suboptimal control for Koran residential house was investigated by computer simulation and experiment. For this study, TRNSYS program was used and an experimental facility consisting of tow rooms ($3\times4.4\times2.8 m$) identical in construction was built. The facility enabled simultaneous comparison of two different control method. And real multi residential hose was investigated. Results showed that outdoor air temperature prediction control was superior to the conventional control for radiant floor heating system operated in the intermittent heating mode. New control system resulted in good thermal environment and les energy consumption.

Cooling load reduction was analysed of a ventilation system adopting a regenerative evaporative cooler. The regenerative evaporative cooler is a kind of indirect evaporative cooler which cools the air down to its inlet dewpoint temperature in principle without change in the humidity ratio. The regenerative evaporative cooler was found able to cool the ventilation air to $18{\sim}21^{\circ}C$ when the outdoor condition ranges $25{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ and 0.01~0.02 kg/kg. When the outdoor humidity ratio is lower than 0.018 kg/kg, the regenerative evaporative cooler was found to provide cooling performance enough to compensate the ventilation load completely and to supply additional cooling as well. Energy simulation during the summer was carried out for a typical office building with the ventilation system using the regenerative evaporative cooler. The results showed that the seasonal cooling load can be reduced by about 40% by applying the regenerative evaporative cooler as a ventilation conditioner. The reduction was found to increase as the outdoor temperature increases and the outdoor humidity ratio decreases.

바이패스 공조시스템은 냉각코일과 가열코일의 공기통과여부에 따라 크게 외기바이패스, 혼합공기 바이패스와 순환공기 바이패스 공조시스템으로 구분할 수 있다. 이 중에서 순환공기 바이패스 공조시스템은 다른 두 방식과 달리 공조되지 않은 외기가 시스템 내부로 직접 유입되지 않으므로 실내온습도 조절면에서 가장 효율적인 시스템이다. 먼저, 수치계산을 통하여 부하변동에 따른 순환공기 바이패스 공조시스템과 단일덕트 정풍량공조시스템의 실내온습도 구현능력을 비교, 평가하였다. 또한 제안 시스템의 성능분석을 위해 실물실험동을 건립하여 그 실험결과를 수치계산결과와 비교하였다. 실험을 통하여 실현열비가 0.7(현열부하만 변동)인 경우, 실내 최대현열부하에 대한 부분부하시의 실내 현열부하의 비(DSL; Design Sensible Load)가 70% 이내에서는 수치계산, simulator 실험 모두 실내상대습도는 ASHRAE STANDARD 62-1999에서 지정하는 60% 이하로 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 바이패스 공조시스템은 실내의 온습도를 정해진 범위의 부하변동내에서는 바이패스 댐퍼의 조작만으로 쾌적한 상태로 유지시킬 수 있으며, 환기회수가 많은 장손의 경우, 순환공기 바이패스에 의해 양질의 실내공기질(IAQ; Indoor Air qualify)을 확보할 수 있다.

The power density and heat dissipation rate per unit area of the telecommunication equipment have been increased with the technology development in the footprint of telecommunication hardware. A proper heat dissipation method from the PCB module is very important to allow reliable operation of its electronic component. In this study, a hybrid air-conditioner for the telecommunication equipment room was designed to save energy and obtain system reliability. For high outdoor temperatures, the hybrid system operates in the vapor compression cycle, while, for low outdoor temperatures, the hybrid system works in the secondary fluid cooling cycle with no operation of the compressor. The performance of the hybrid air-conditioner was measured by varying outdoor and indoor temperatures. The hybrid air-conditioner yielded 50% energy saving compared with the conventional refrigeration system when the mode switch temperature was $8.3^{\circ}C$.

Dedicated outdoor air(DOA) system which conditions the outdoor air separately is superior to conventional Cooling + reheating system with respect to energy consumption and indoor comfort. Since the sensible and latent load characteristics of indoor and outdoor are different, it is more efficient to treat them separately. In this study, cycle analysis and on-site performance test of DOA system have been conducted. The study shows that DOA requires 50% less equivalent energy than the conventional system. The on-site performance test of a prototype shows that the coefficient of performance(COP) of the DOA system is 37% higher than the conventional system.

Recently, energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) have been installed for energy saving in many multi-residential buildings in Korea. The performance of the heat exchanger of an ERV is analyzed in this study under specific indoor and outdoor conditions in a test-cell measurement. However, the performance of the heat exchanger varies according to the indoor and outdoor condition. In this study, the performance of energy recovery of the ventilation system was therefore analyzed in actual weather conditions using field measurement. Experiments were conducted under winter conditions in a multi-residential building for 20 days. Based on the measurement results, the characteristics of sensible heat and latent heat exchange rates were analyzed.

The energy conservation is one of the most important issues in recent years. Especially, the energy conservation through improved control strategies is one of the most highly possible area to be implemented in the near future. The energy conservation of the ice storage system can be accomplished through the improved control strategies. A real time building load prediction algorithm was developed. The expected highest and the lowest outdoor temperature of the next day were used to estimate the next day outdoor temperature profile. The measured dry bulb temperature and the measured building load were used to estimate system parameters by using the on-line weighted recursive least square method. The estimated hourly outdoor temperatures and the estimated hourly system parameters were used to predict the next day hourly building loads. In order to see the effectiveness of the building load prediction algorithm, two different types of building models were selected and analysed. The simulation results show less than 1% in error for the prediction of the next day building loads. Therefore, this algorithm may successfully be used for the development of improved control algorithms of the ice storage system.
