Purpose: PMV, PET, and similar thermal comfort indices and microclimate modeling have recently become actively used to evaluate thermal comfort. This study will look at pedestrian roads with diverse spatial characteristics on university campus using the ENVI-met model as the base for onsite measurement. Method: The PET was used as the thermal comfort index. The first microclimate measures were collected on September 20, 2014, and the second microclimate measures were collected on June 1, 2015. The ENVI-met model was used at the same time. Result: As a results, Onsite measurement results differed depending on the PET spatial characteristics. The location associated with the most discomfort had a PET of $47.8^{\circ}C$. The spatial characteristics of this place included a with no shade. The most comfortable location had shade, and the PET was $24.6^{\circ}C$. When the ENVI-met model and onsite measurements were compared, similar patterns were found, but with a few differences at specific points; this was due to the limitation of using input materials such as trees, buildings, and covering materials with the ENVI-met model. This factor must be thoroughly considered when analyzing modeling results.

Recently the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) has been used as an important index to evaluate the degree of the indoor thermal comfort in modern residential buildings. It is known that the PMV is mainly affected by four major factors, which are the air temperature, the air velocity, the humidity and the mean radiant temperature (MRT). Through the numerical calculation of the temperature and the modeling of the mean radiant temperature considering the solar radiation, we proposed the new modeling strategies of the mean radiant temperature and investigated the PMV index and evaluated the MRT. Also, we compared the numerical results with the experimental values. As the results, we found out that the MRT is affected by the wall temperature and the solar radiation. We also knew that the new modeling strategies of the mean radiant temperature is a more correct way of PMV calculation. Especially, the new modeling is necessary for the spaces like an atrium and large rooms with windows mainly influenced by solar radiation.

본 연구는 도시 소공간의 열환경을 개선하기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 공간 구조별 열특성을 평가하여 분석하였다. 도심 내 위치한 고려대학교 캠퍼스를 연구 대상지로 선정하였으며, 대상지 내에 공간 유형을 대표하는 각각의 장소에서 열환경을 조사하였다. 기상장비를 활용한 미기상 및 바이오 기상 측정, 어안렌즈 촬영사진(Fish-eye lens photography)를 활용한 공간구조 및 특성 분석, 그리고 온도나 습도와 같은 기상정보 및 이미지 정보를 활용한 열쾌적성 모델링의 순서로 공간의 열환경 및 인체 열쾌적성을 분석하였다. 열환경 평가 결과, 인체 열쾌적성의 정도는 캠퍼스 공간의 유형에 따라 차이가 나타났다. 건물이나 수목 등에 의해 위요된 폐쇄형 공간 유형에서 개방형 공간 유형에서 분석된 평균 복사온도, PMV, PET 지수보다 더 양호한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 수목과 건물에 의한 태양복사열의 차단 및 그림자의 영향을 받기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 공간을 계획할 때 개방성이나 통풍성을 높이기 위한 수목의 배치를 고려하고 복사열을 차단할 수 있는 바닥포장이나 건물 외장재 종류를 선택할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 도시 공간의 이용자가 실제적으로 느끼는 열쾌적성의 정도를 정량화하고 이를 평가함으로써 이용자를 고려한 공간계획 방안을 제안하였다.인체 열쾌적성을 평가하는 정량적 평가 방법 및 그에 따른 연구결과는 향후 도시 공간의 쾌적한 환경을 조성하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 컴퓨터 모델링의 결과를 실측자료 보정없이 이용하였을 때의 문제점을 조사하기 위해, 작은 도시공원을 대상으로 실측자료와 컴퓨터 모델링 결과를 비교 분석하여 보았다. 컴퓨터 모델링 결과는 실측자료에 비해 미기후 요소인 기온과 풍속에서는 과소예측을 보였으며, 상대습도와 평균복사온도에서는 과대예측을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그 차이는 인간 열환경지수인 PMV와 UTCI에서 최대 2.3 PMV와 4℃ UTCI의 차이를 보였다. 그러므로, 인간 열환경지수 (열쾌적성) 연구에서 컴퓨터 모델링을 이용할 때는 반드시 실측자료를 이용한 결과보정 과정을 거쳐 도시와 조경계획 및 디자인에 적용되어야 할 것이다.

One of the most important functions of a building is to provide thermally comfortable indoor environmental conditions for the occupants. Therefore, a great deal of energy is consumed for heating and cooling to satisfy those thermal requirements. In order to provide thermal comfort with minimum heating and cooling energy consumption, optimal design of building affecting indoor climate is required. This study used the TRNSYS for modeling and simulation of the energy flows of residential building types, and examined the energy efficient measures to reduce the thermal loads. The residential building types are classified into the detached house, apartment house and high-rise residential complex. The results of the simulation show that the heating energy consumption in the detached house is especially high, whereas the cooling load is an important determinant in the apartment house and high-rise residential complex. The measures examined are the insulation thickness, various types of glazing, infiltration, natural and controlled ventilation, solar shading, orientation and etc. Comparative evaluations and sensitivity analyses revealed the effects of these variables and identified their energy efficient building design strategies.

Background: A detailed evaluation of the underground mine climate requires extensive measurements to be performed coupled to climatic modeling work. This can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, and consequently impractical for daily work comfort assessments. Therefore, a simple indicator like a heat stress index is needed to enable a quick, valid, and acceptable evaluation of underground climatic conditions on a regular basis. This can be explained by the unending quest to develop a "universal index," which has led to the proliferation of many proposed heat stress indices. Methods: The aim of this research study is to discuss the challenges in identifying and selecting an appropriate heat stress index for thermal planning and management purposes in underground mines. A method is proposed coupled to a defined strategy for selecting and recommending heat stress indices to be used in underground metal mines in the United States and worldwide based on a thermal comfort model. Results: The performance of current heat stress indices used in underground mines varies based on the climatic conditions and the level of activities. Therefore, carefully selecting or establishing an appropriate heat stress index is of paramount importance to ensure the safety, health, and increasing productivity of the underground workers. Conclusion: This method presents an important tool to assess and select the most appropriate index for certain climatic conditions to protect the underground workers from heat-related illnesses. Although complex, the method presents results that are easy to interpret and understand than any of the currently available evaluation methods.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the effects of a restoration project on the decrease in the temperature in the surrounding areas. The thermal environment characteristics of the investigation area were analyzed using the meteorological data from the Busanjin Automatic Weather System which is closest to the target area. The terrain data of the modeling domain was constructed using a digital map and the urban spatial information data, and the numerical simulation of the meteorological changes before and after the restoration of the stream was performed using the Envi-met model. The average temperature of the target area in 2016 was $15.2^{\circ}C$ and was higher than that of the suburbs. The monthly mean temperature difference was the highest at $1.1^{\circ}C$ in November and the lowest in June, indicating that the temperatures in the urban areas were high in spring and winter. From the Envi-met modeling results, reductions in temperature due to stream restoration were up to $1.7^{\circ}C$ in winter, and decreased to $3.5^{\circ}C$ in summer. The effect of temperature reduction was seen in the entire region where streams are being restored.
