Recently, the application of renewable energy to building is steadily increasing in domestic due to the energy saving efforts around the world. Among the all, wind energy is one of the rising energy source because of its high technological maturity. Domestic wind power market has rapidly increased in recent years but the certification system for wind turbine has not been activated since it was introduced in 2009. Thus, this study aims to propose the improvement of certification system for wind turbine by comparing domestic certification system with international certification system. The result of this study are as follows. First, domestic certification system needs to be subdivided and established by systematic standards. Second, it is considered that education about rating standards is required to wind turbine makers to activate domestic certification system. Third, domestic certification agenciesand test agencies need to be unified and reduced.

The design of the LEDs lighting in general household illumination was proposed and compared with the fluorescent lighting in this study. Using the LED as a light source would promote energy saving lighting for household illumination purposes. We used the LightTools and DIALux software to design and simulate different standards of illuminance, different correlated color temperatures and different color rendering indices for household environments. The power consumption and efficiency of traditional illuminated light sources and an LED light source with the same standard of illuminance for lighting the household environment were analyzed and compared with each other. Finally, our results show the advantages of using white-light LEDs for lighting and household illumination.

Ventilation requirement of apartment was mandated according to building equipment standards in 2006. When ventilation unit was considering for indoor air quality maintenance, we needed energy saving and efficiency ventilation control methods. This study carried out experiment of ventilation rate 0.7 adequacy. When we lived in apartment, we assumed that sleeping time was long stayed time in unconsciousness. Experiments carried out ventilation rate 0, 0.1, 0.4 and 0.7 in environment chamber from 22 o'clock to 06 o'clock, the concentration of $CO_2$, temperature and humidity rate measured. Analyzing the results, conclusions are as follows. 1) When we sleep in bedroom, ventilation rate 0.4 meet the requirements of domestic legal standards. Conform fan of similarity law, ventilation rate 0.4 reduced power cost about 80% than 0.7. 2) In generally sleeping time 8 hours, peak point control reduced running time of ventilation unit about 43% than normal control.

The present study has been conducted for evaluating and comparing the performance of the underfloor air distribution system(UFAD) and the ceiling based air distribution system(CBAD) under cooling condition. Simulations and experiments were carried out for verifying the model by TRNSYS program about UFAD and CBAD. The results of simulation for various conditions of thermal load are summarized as followings. UFAD had an advantage for making thermal comfort because of lower temperature of the floor surface. Moreover, UFAD showed lower fan power about 30~50% than CBAD under the same conditions of thermal load. The energy saving rates of UFAD were increased to 17.7% in proportion to the thermal load on unoccupied zone(lighting). Ultimately, additional investigations should be done for analyzing optimized operating conditions of UFAD with considering the thermal performance of building envelop and the thermal load.

Due to the building energy consumption of total energy consumption of Korea takes over 24%, economizing building energy and using renewable energy resources is being required. To suggest the prototype of zero energy house of country house, the passive systems and active systems are applicated and simulated. In case of wall insulation system is applicated, the heating load of building is reduced. Also, clear triple pair glazing system reduced 2.1% of heating load of building. The amount of reducing heating load by infiltration is depending on the Heating system. In this model, the 0.3ACH made 14.6% saving on heating load from base infiltration 0.82ACH. The solar thermal system of active system could save 80% of DHW and PV system supplies electric power more than average consumption of year. Through the optimum process, the end use of zero energy house of country house is 36kWh/m2.yr and total energy consumption is reduced about 74.2%.

The indoor air quality is one of the most important issues of designing ventilation in high rise apartment buildings. This study suggested proper ventilation rate in the apartment bedroom where mechanical ventilation system has installed. Six university students(four male and two female) were participating in the experiment. Experiments were performed in environmental chamber. Experimental conditions were combinations from three ventilation rate 0, 0.4 and 0.7. Measurement items during 8 hours of experimental time were temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentrations and questionnaire surveyed aftrer sleeping. The concentration of Carbon Dioxide depending on ventilation rate in the chamber was analyzed for proper ventilation rate. The results of this paper can be summarized as follows. (1) When two persons experiment, 0.7 ventilation rate was in excess of 1000ppm. (2) When one person experiment, 0.7 and 0.4 ventilation rates were satisfied the criteria of IAQ. (3) It compared 0.4 with 0.7 in the ventilation rate, 0.4 ventilation rate could reduced about 80% of the power by fan similarity law.

본 논문은 외부 전원에 연결되었지만 본래의 용도(예: 셋톱박스인 경우 방송서비스 제공)로 사용되지 않는 대기상태에서도 기존 셋톱박스처럼 업데이트를 수행하면서도 기존의 셋톱박스에 비해 전력소모를 줄일 수 있는, 대기상태의 셋톱박스를 제어하는 방안을 제안한다. 본 논문의 제어방안은 셋톱박스로 전달되는 CPU 활성화 메시지를 이용하거나 메시지의 프로토콜의 일부만 분석하는 방법을 이용하여 셋톱박스 업데이트 필요 유무를 판별하는 방안으로 이는 낮은 CPU(Central Processing Unit) 연산 량만 필요로 하여 셋톱박스 전력소모 저감에 적합하다. 본 논문의 제어방안은 기존의 사업자 측면에서 대기상태 셋톱박스의 업데이트 편의성을 유지시키면서도 국가적 차원의 전력소모 저감에 기여를 할 것이다.

In this paper, we proposed a home network integrated dimmer switch using Z-wave Mesh Network. The dimmer switch come with wired and wireless network-based intelligent lighting switch that can be installed in a apartments with home network technologies. This switch is ease to install and operate. Furthermore, it provide power saving through efficient control of light using motion detect sensor and light intensity sensor. In order to evaluate the performance of our developed home network integrated dimmer switch, we performed a load performance test and from our result, it showed excellent performance in terms of lighting control and communication speed.

This paper presented an occupancy-based smart plug system for appliance energy saving in home. We measured current consumption of appliances in real time using smart plugs, and check the occupation of residents using occupancy sensors installed on the door. The proposed system saves energy to switch off the supply power of unnecessary usages in the unoccupied spaces. Experiments conducted have shown that current usage of appliances can be measured by using smart plugs and presence can be checked by using occupancy sensors.

본 논문에서는 부하의 상태에 따라 능동적으로 추종 및 보상기능을 갖으며, 에너지절약기능 및 고품질을 유지할 수 있는 소형이면서 가격도 저렴한 전력 품질보상장치의 Prototype을 구성하고져 한다. 최근 일반 주택이나 사무실내에 반도체소자 및 전력전자기기의 사용이 급증하면서 이들 기기에서 발생하는 고조파 및 무효전력량이 증가하여 주위의 환경과 전기적 손실이 심각한 문제를 발생한다. 이런 상황 하에서 전력품질에 민감한 부하들이 급증하고 부하의 민감도에 따라 다양한 전력품질을 요구하는 장치가 점점 필요로 하게 되었다. 지금까지 국내 외적으로 이런 문제를 보상하는 소형보상장치는 가전기기 즉 세탁기 냉장고등 각기 개개로 부착하고 있는 것들은 어느 정도 개발되어 사용되고 있으나, 가정용도로 사용하기 위하여 주택전체를 보상하는 기기는 개발이 되어있지 않은 상태에 있다. 따라서 현재까지 국내 외적으로 개발되어온 기기들은 가정용 소형 전력품질의 모니터링 수준이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기기의 최 말단 즉, 기기자체에 부착하여 사용하는 단순형 보상형태를 확장시켜 소형이면서 에너지 절약이 가능한 가정용으로 적합한 능동 추종형 전력품질 보상장치의 기술에 대한 연구를 하는 것이 목적이다.
