At present, many countries are trying to reduce green gas emissions to mitigate the effects of these gases on climate change. Year after year, there have been efforts to cut energy use for heating and cooling. Heating and cooling systems, common in all forms of housing, are increasing due to the constant supply of new housing resulting from improvements in economic growth and the quality of life. Thus, studies related to the design of cooling and heating systems to improve energy efficiency are expanding. Among the new designs, radiant floor cooling and heating systems which use capillary tubes are becoming viable means of reducing energy use. Radiant floor cooling and heating systems which use capillary tubes are creative and sustainable systems in which cool and hot water is circulated into capillary tube which has small diameter. In this study, the cooling and heating performance of this type of capillary tube system is investigated in an experimental study and a simulation using TRNSYS. The results of the experimental study show that under a peak load, a capillary tube radiant floor cooling system using geothermal energy can achieve desired indoor temperature without an additional heat source. The set room air temperature is maintained while the floor surface temperature, PMV and PPD remain within the comfort range. Also, this system is more economic than a packaged air conditioner system due to its higher COP. The results of the simulation show that the capillary tube radiant floor heating system maintains set temperature more stable than a PB pipe radiant floor heating system due to its lower supply temperature of hot water. In terms of energy consumption, the capillary tube radiant floor heating system is more efficient than the PB pipe radiant floor heating system.

자동차를 이용하는 시간이 늘어남에 따라 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 그러나 아직까진 실제 자동차 중에서 공조시스템의 냉방성능은 자동차 제조사별로 온열쾌적성 지표를 통해 평가되지 않고, 실내의 공기 속도와 온도 등 열환경 기준에 의해 평가되고 있다. 또한 차 실내의 온열쾌적성을 수치해석으로 평가하는 경우 타당한 결과를 도출할 수 있는 수치기법에 대한 기준이 확립되지 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 외부 열원을 모사하기 위하여 태양광선 추적모델을 사용하고, 공조시스템 작동 후 20 분까지 다양한 매개변수(공조시스템의 작동모드와 작동풍량, 인체모델 탑승조건)에 대한 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 지표를 예측할 수 있는 평가모델을 도출하였다.

무선 인터넷을 이용하여 사용자들은 공간적 제약 없이 중요한 정보를 신속하게 제공 받을 수 있지만, 무선 통신의 특성상 불안전하고 시간 지연된 서비스에 대한 불편이 있다. 이를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 데이터 복제 기법이 제안되었으나, 복제 데이터를 유지하기 위한 부담을 극복할 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 이동형 환경에서의 거래 안정성과 데이터 가용성 증대를 위한 새로운 복제 데이터 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 위임 정족수 합의(Proxy Quarum Consensus) 모델은 프락시를 이용하여 불안정한 상태의 다수의 모바일 사이트에 직접적인 투표를 하지 않는 대신이 미리 선출한 대표 정족 집단에 위임함으로써, 안정된 위임 투표(Proxy Voting)를 진행하는 제어 기법이다. 또한, 시뮬레이션과 성능 분석을 통하여 제안 기법이 기존의 복제 데이터 제어 기법에 비하여 처리 성능이 우수함을 검증하였다.

In this paper, the effects of ventilation and humidification on thermal comfort and indoor air quality(IAQ) were evaluated in a classroom when a heat pump system was operated in winter. Thermal comfort parameters, such as temperature, relative humidity, globe temperature and air velocity, were measured at 9 points in the classroom. The concentration of $CO_2$ and total suspended particles(TSP) in the classroom were measured in order to analyze IAQ. Temperature distribution in the classroom was decreased by $2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ when the ventilation system and the humidifier were operated. When the relative humidity was adjusted to 60% by operating the humidifier and the ventilation system, the predicted mean vote(PMV) in the classroom was within the comfortable range of $-0.5{\sim}0.5$. When the ventilation system was operated, the average concentration of $CO_2$ and TSP were decreased by 645 ppm and 0.17 $mg/m^3$, respectively. This paper suggests the humidification and ventilation conditions to maintain the comfortable environment in the school classroom in winter experimentally.

To analyze human thermal environments in protected horticultural houses (plastic houses), human thermal sensations estimated using measured microclimatic data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar and terrestrial radiation) were compared between an outdoor area and two indoor plastic houses, a polyethylene (PE) house and a polycarbonate (PC) house. Measurements were carried out during the daytime in autumn, a transient season that exhibits human thermal environments ranging from neutral to very hot. The mean air temperature and absolute humidity of the houses were $14.6-16.8^{\circ}C$ (max. 22. $3^{\circ}C$) and $7.0-12.0g{\cdot}m^{-3}$ higher than those of the outdoor area, respectively. Solar (K) and terrestrial (L) radiation were compared directionally from the sky hemisphere (${\downarrow}$) and the ground hemisphere (${\uparrow}$). The mean $K{\downarrow}$ and $K{\uparrow}$ values for the houses were respectively $232.5-367.8W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and $44.9-55.7W;{\cdot}m^{-2}$ lower than those in the outdoor area; the mean $L{\downarrow}$ and $L{\uparrow}$ values were respectively $150.4-182.3W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and $30.5-33.9W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ higher than those in the outdoor area. Thus, L was revealed to be more influential on the greenhouse effect in the houses than K. Consequently, mean radiant temperature in the houses was higher than the outdoor area during the daytime from 10:45 to 14:15. As a result, mean human thermal sensation values in the PMV, PET, and UTCI of the houses were respectively $3.2-3.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $4.7^{\circ}C$), $15.2-16.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $23.7^{\circ}C$) and $13.6-15.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $22.3^{\circ}C$) higher than those in the outdoor area. The heat stress levels that were influenced by human thermal sensation were much higher in the houses (between hot and very hot) than in the outdoor (between neutral and warm). Further, the microclimatic component that most affected the human thermal sensation in the houses was air temperature that was primarily influenced by $L{\downarrow}$. Therefore, workers in the plastic houses could experience strong heat stresses, equal to hot or higher, when air temperature rose over $22^{\circ}C$ on clear autumn days.
