  • Architects are facing increasing risks that result from heightened expectations of benefits and performance when designing green buildings compared to traditional buildings. This study aims to explore the possible risk factors for architects in green building projects in South Korea and assess risk mitigation measures. To attain this goal, 14 risk factors and 12 mitigation measures were determined through an extensive literature review. A questionnaire was administered to architects practicing green building design and criticality index was employed to assess major risk factors and mitigation measures. This study identified 'adoption of new technology and process', 'green building certification results', 'building products and materials', and 'energy saving uncertainty' as the major risk factors of green building projects. Additionally, the questionnaire proposed 'contract indicating each party's role, liability, and limitations clearly', 'utilizing integrated design process', and 'understanding client's goal in green building projects' as the three most effective risk mitigation measures in designing green buildings. There are few studies that focus on architects' perceived risks concerning green building projects; this study contributes to a deeper knowledge and attempts to fill the current literature gap, which would benefit South Korea's green building design practice by aiding in the development of better risk management strategies.

  • In this study, flow analysis of single, double, and triple filter systems of cylindrical structures was performed to analyze the flow characteristics of each filter. As a result of the flow analysis of the filter system, the number of filters and the pressure drop rate tend to be proportional to each other. It was found that the area passing through the inside of the filter had almost the same pressure. The maximum pressure drop rate of the triple filter system was about 14.9% for the forward-flow and about 12.4% for the reverse-flow. It was determined that the performance of the filter was stable within 20% of the allowable pressure drop rate of the filter system, which is the standard presented to the Korea Water Technology Certification Institute(KWTCI). In the future, a study on the decompression characteristics of the filter system according to the effect of the arrangement interval and filter density of the triple filter will be conducted.

  • The MAC protocols, which are classified into synchronous and asynchronous MAC protocol in the wireless sensor network, have actively studied. Especially, the asynchronous MAC protocol needs to research on the algorithm synchronizing between nodes, since each node independently operates in its own duty cycle. Typically, Receiver-Initiated MAC protocol is the algorithm synchronizing particular nodes by using beacon immediately transmitted by each node when it wakes up. However, the sender consumes unnecessary energy because it blankly waits until receiving the receiver's beacon, even if it does not know when the receiver's beacon is transmitted. In this paper, we propose the MAC protocol which can improve the performance by selecting an optimal node between a sender and a receiver to overcome the disadvantages. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves energy efficiency and decreases average delay time than the conventional algorithm.

  • In this study, we survey the 2 buildings at the Central 1 and 8 buildings at the Central 2, which are divided by each climate region in the rural regions. Major heat loss factors are 47% loss of the outer shell including outer wall, roof, and bottom, 30% loss through window, and 23% loss through crevice wind. We analyze the energy simulation of ECO2 program to construct a zero energy building regarding village hall located in Jung Juk 4-le at Centeral 2. We simulate the primary energy requirement regarding village hall and the simulated results show the $265.3kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ and it may estimate '2' energy efficiency grade. The energy requirement regarding village hall is the $183.2kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ when the passive technology are applied in village hall. We research total amount of energy requirement in village hall when the passive and active technologies such as solar cell with 3kW and solar thermal with $20m^2$, geothermal power with 17.5kW. The simulated results show the improved energy efficiency certification grade with $1^{{+}{+}{+}}$ due to the reduced primary energy requirement with 73% when passive technology including 3kW of solar panel is applied and the energy independence rate is 54%, which is estimated to be 4th grade of zero energy buildings. The order of energy consumption are solar panel, solar thermal, and geothermal power under applied passive technology in the building. In order to expand the zero energy building, it is necessary to introduce the zero energy evaluation system in the rural region.
