In this study, the effect of hot water supply flow rates on energy consumption for radiant floor heating system in apartment were researched by computer simulation. The parametric study of different hot water supply flow rates was done with regard to energy performance and control characteristics, respectively. Also the effect of different hot water supply flow rates on the hot water supply temperatures is studied. As a result, energy consumption were reduced but the response time is increased by reducing the supply flow rate. And energy consumption can be saved by adjusting the hot water supply temperatures with different supply flow rates.

Vertical open display cases are widely used in shopping malls, supermarkets, or retail stores to sell frozen and refrigerated products. Open display cases use air curtains to maintain a reasonable temperature within the storage space, prevent insects from breaking in, and reduce energy usage. In this research, computational fluid dynamics was used to find the optimal condition for reducing energy by considering various conditions such as discharge speed or temperature of air curtains. Results of the study showed that the amount of energy consumed in the display cabinet is influenced by the discharge speed and temperature of the slots installed on the upper area and the amount of air supplied to the storage area inside the shelf. This shows that the amount of discharged air supplied from the storage area influences the formation of air curtain and also the amount of energy consumption. As a result of this study, we learned that the amount of energy used can be reduced by increasing the amount of discharged air within the storage area and enhancing back pressure.

Unlike the previous approaches, we analyzed for economic efficiency of renewed heating and cooling systems as the characteristics of space. The purpose of this study is to analysis the energy consumption and economical efficiency of absorption chillers and EHP systems in renovated library. It is important that equipment selection should be considering energy cost as well as space program. In recently, many EHP systems were installed in the building for reducing the energy cost and for seeking the convenience of individual control. In contrast, though absorption chillers have the disadvantage of a central control, absorption chillers are appropriate for the conditions of the library that needs simultaneous operation. The results by payback period method, show that selection of heating and cooling systems should be consider for space program and the characteristics of space.

지금까지 우리는 건물분야에서의 합리적인 에너지 사용을 위하여 건물외피의 단열성능을 향상시킴으로써 열손실을 줄이려는 데에 주력하여 왔으며, 침기로 인한 열손실을 줄이려는 노력은 상대적으로 미흡하였다. 그러나, 침기로 인한 난방에너지의 소비가 상당량에 이르는 것으로 조사됨으로써 재실형태에 따라 최소환기기준을 만족시키면서 침기에 의한 불필요한 에너지의 손실을 줄이려는 노력이 매우 유효한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 실제로 침기에 의한 불필요한 에너지의 낭비가 얼마나 되는가를 평가하기 위해서는, 건물에서의 침기율을 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 방법이 전제되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 감압/가압법의 일종인 Blower Door System을 사용하여 공동주택에서의 기밀성능을 측정, 평가함은 물론 측정결과를 토대로 합리적인 수준까지 기밀화할 경우 난방에너지의 절약가능성에 대하여 추정하였다.

콘크리트는 현재까지 사용되는 건축재료 양호한 품질을 지니고 있으며, 시멘트의 화학조성이 지표상의 화학조성과 유사하여 가장 쉽게 얻을 있는 재료 중 하나이다. 하지만 약한 결합력과 낮은 결합에너지로 변형에 취약하여 균열이 발생하게 된다. 건조수축 균열 저감을 위해 본 연구에서는 AE제, 감수제, 수축저감제 등을 각각 사용하는 기존연구와 달리 작업의 편리성 향상을 위하여 수축저감제 및 감수제의 혼합 형태인 수축저감형 혼화제(Superplasticizer for Reduction of Shrinkage, 이하 SRS로 칭함)를 이용하였다. 현재 레미콘사에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 콘크리트와 모르타르의 배합으로 계획하였으며, SRS 혼입률 변경과 혼화재 치환에 따른 기초적 실험을 진행하였다. 강도와 길이변화율을 고려하였을 때 SRS 혼입률 2%가 적정한 혼입률이라고 판단된다. 또한 대량치환과 노출콘크리트용 혼화제 적용에 관한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Across the world, building energy codes are becoming stricter, demanding higher levels of energy performance with each issuance. Some locations have taken initiatives to eliminate operational emissions altogether by requiring buildings to be carbon neutral. However, while the objectives of carbon neutrality are without doubt statement worthy, we believe that once operational performance has been tackled to a reasonable level of performance the sights should be trained on a different objective-life; cycle carbon. This paper defines what we mean by life cycle carbon neutrality and presents an approach toward reducing it.

Building-integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) perform traditional architectural function of walls and roof while also generating electricity. But most of the absorbed solar energy appears passively as heat, raising the temperature of cells and reducing the efficiency with which the active part is converted into electricity. Therefore this paper presents the comparison of electrical, architectural and thermal performance of roof integrated photovoltaic(PV) modules, which is composed of different hybrid structure layer such as urethane form, waffle stud etc.

The dynamic pricing of electricity, where the electricity rate increases in a time zone with a high demand for electricity is typically applied to a building whose power reception capacity is greater than a certain size. This includes the time of use(TOU) electricity pricing in Korea which can induce the effect of reducing the power demand of a building. Meanwhile, a VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system that uses electricity is regarded as one of the typical heating and cooling systems along with central air conditioning (central HVAC) for its easy operation and application to the building. Thus, to reduce power energy and operating costs of a building in which the TOU and VRF systems are applied simultaneously, we suggested a control for changing the indoor temperature setting within the thermal comfort range or limiting the rotational speed of an inverter compressor. In this study, to describe the features of the above-mentioned control and verify its effects, we evaluated the results obtained from the analysis of its operation data. Through the actual measurements in winter operations for 73 days since mid- December 2014, we confirmed a reduction of 10.9% in power energy consumption and 12.2% in operating costs by the new control. Also, a reduction of 13.3% in power energy consumption was identified through a regression analysis.

Many artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been embedded into various engineering technologies to assist them in achieving different goals. The integration of modern technologies with energy consumption management system and occupant's comfort inside buildings results in the introduction of intelligent building concept. The major aim of this integration is to manage the energy consumption effectively and keeping the occupant satisfied with the internal environment of the building. The last few couple of years have seen many applications of AI techniques for optimizing the energy consumption with maximizing the user comfort in smart buildings but still there is much room for improvement in this area. In this paper, a hybrid of two AI algorithms called firefly algorithm (FA) and genetic algorithm (GA) has been used for user comfort maximization with minimum energy consumption inside smart building. A complete user friendly system with data from various sensors, user, processes, power control system and different actuators is developed in this work for reducing power consumption and increase the user comfort. The inputs of optimization algorithms are illumination, temperature and air quality sensors' data and the user set parameters whereas the outputs of the optimization algorithms are optimized parameters. These optimized parameters are the inputs of different fuzzy controllers which change the status of different actuators according to user satisfaction.

이 논문은 지진응답을 감소시키기 위해 외부설치형 카고메 감쇠시스템의 유효성을 비선형 동적 해석 결과를 통해 나타내었다. 이전의 연구에 의해 제안된 카고메 감쇠시스템을 활용하여 본 연구에서는 등방성, 이선형 이력특성 및 설치구성이 새롭게 제안하였다. 또한, 외부접합형 카고메 감쇠시스템의 여러 가지 효과를 15층 및 20층 철근콘크리트 라멘조 아파트를 대상으로 검증하였다. 원구조물에 대한 감쇠장치 지지구조물의 강성비, 감쇠장치의 수량 및 설치 층수는 설계변수로 고려하였다. 수치해석결과, EKDS는 기존의 한 방향 층간에 설치되는 감쇠시스템과 비교할 때 더 작은 수를 적용하여도 두 방향의 지진하중을 감소시키는데 매우 효과적임을 입증되었다.
