Recently, some policies for reducing standby power, which has quite an effect on electricity consumption, have been employed all over the world. This study surveys the present condition of standby power for major electric home appliances during three years and analyzes the result of technical development reducing standby power. It presents how the industry paid attention to applying the technique of reducing standby power to electric appliances and how it affects the product's energy efficiency. We survey the standby power's change for six items, which were selected from the major electric appliances available on the market. It analyzes the difference of standby power consumption between appliances with a standby power reducing technique and those without during the latest three years. The amount of the average standby power is also compared. The comparison data confirms that the industry's effort and application of reducing standby power contribution has contributed to increasing an appliance's energy efficiency. This study restricted the analyzed items to six appliances, which has been a low volunteered involvement in the standby power reducing program. It is important for reducing standby power consumption of appliances because it contributes to saving electric energy at home and abroad. The development of the standby power reducing technique is needed for more appliances. Along with the development of the standby power reducing technique in the industrial field, it also necessary for consumers to enlarge their understanding of standby power reduction for economic, social, and environmental values.

지구온난화 및 에너지 고갈로 인해 건축물의 에너지효율 향상은 시대의 흐름으로 인식되고 있다. 건축물의 효율을 향상시켜 에너지를 절약하기 위해서는 결국 패시브 요소를 적용해야 한다. 그런 첫발걸음이 단열경계에 대한 새로운 기준 적용이라 생각한다. 현재 고시된 단열경계선 기준의 경우 경계가 적정하지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 용도별로도 구분되어있지 않다. 이로 인해 에너지가 낭비되고 있으며, 민원 또한 많이 발생되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 단열선 적용에 있어 난방과 비난방, 공조와 비공조 구간을 구분하고 건물을 용도별로 보다 더 세분화하는 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 용도별 단열경계와 적용 가능한 기준을 마련하여 정확한 실제 난방면적과 공조면적을 제시한다. 이렇게 제시된 실제 난방과 공조면적, 용도별 단열 경계기준선을 통해 장비의 적정한 용량과 부하의 일치를 기하고 최적의 유지관리로 에너지를 절감할 수 있는 기준을 마련함으로써 실 거주자의 환경개선뿐 아니라 에너지 절감효과까지 기대할 수 있는 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose: There have been more researches focused on eco-friendly construction practices in order to save energy consumed and these practices have been extensively applied for constructing buildings. However, researches on energy consumption saving and efficiency for hospital facilities have been still insufficient. This research aims to draw factors that affect energy efficiency of hospital buildings through literature reviews and perform an expert-survey using AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) method in order to analyze the importances and priorities of these energy efficient factors. Method: Using the AHP method, this paper suggests the importances and priorities of factors to affect energy efficiency in hospital buildings. The survey of experts at a architectural design and a construction management companies was conducted via e-mail and mail. Result: As a result, factors of window and door, insulation, ventilation, and natural lighting turned out relatively important as respectively 0.104, 0.102, 0.101, and 0.095 n the energy efficiency in hospital buildings, while factors of artificial lighting, geothermal, solar heat, and control did unimportant as 0.027, 0.033, 0.043, and 0.053.

This study analyzed the standard school's energy usage and patterns as the zero-energy goal of primary school building, and proposed the energy reduction process of school building using energy analysis computing simulation tool. As a analysis simulation tool, Visual DOE 4.0 is used. For analysis of actual energy usage, selected primary school that is standard in the nation's energy consumption. Standard of the school's energy consumption analysis were devided into electric and gas energy. Input parameters of the simulation program based on the literature material and field survey material. after, but it was calibrated to comparison with the standard school's energy consumption. Finally, its energy usage analyzed by component and made the priority order of energy saving. Applied energy saving technologies are envelopment insulation, high efficiency lighting, high performance HAVC system and used active equipment system of solar collector and photovoltaic generation for additional savings.

Purpose: This study is to analyze the characteristics of energy usage in apartment houses that had built for 20 years recently in capital area and the correlation between the characteristics of energy usage and the regulation of energy efficiency in building. Method: It is investigated 264 apartment sites having been built since 1991 where 312,071 houses live. The sites were listed on Naver map. Quantities of energy usages in the sites were searched in a portal, Green Together being operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The appraisal report of building energy in the portal is recording usage quantity of gas energy, district cooling & heating energy, electric energy, total energy, 1st gas energy, 1st district cooling & heating energy, 1st electric energy, 1st total energy, etc. Result: Analyzing the average of total energy usage from 1991 to 2012, the average in 2001, 2008 each was reduced more than 10 percent compared to the previous year. It was analyzed that the reduction was relevant to building energy-saving design criterion which have been tightened more than before.

이동통신 시스템에 적용되는 적응변조방식의 변환은 주변 환경을 고려한 변환을 사용하므로, 변환 조건 및 이에 따른 전송량의 변화에 대한 관점에서 다루었으나, 이동통신 단말기와 같이 에너지 효율이 좋아야 하는 경우에는 이러한 적응방식이 성능을 낮게 할 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 전송효율만을 고려하던 기존방식에서 소비 에너지를 고려하고, 프레임 길이를 조절하여 사용하는 적응변조방식을 제어하는 최적화 방식을 제안한다.

In this paper, a personal air-conditioning system considering the human thermal adaptability is analyzed. Although the conventional personal air-conditioner was proofed to be satisfactory in providing for the thermal comfort, it is being questioned on the term of its energy efficiency. Therefore, it is important and urgent to develop new types of personal air-conditioning system with sustainable control strategy that can ensure energy saving and thermal comfort simultaneously. In this study, we first examined the problems of the conventional personal air-conditioning system with field interview and laboratory experiment in terms of usage, management and thermal comfort, and proposed the energy-saving personal air-conditioning system considering the human thermal adaptation. Then a laboratory experiment was performed to analyze the characteristics of the human thermal comfort under severe indoor thermal conditions, which were controlled using a new personal air-conditioning unit designed according to the proposal. The results help to illustrate the alleviation effect of the new personal air-conditioning system, and indicate that the thermal alleviation time is useful to maintain the thermal comfort with efficient usage of energy.
