This paper introduces a sensor system based on indoor locations in order to implement the Building Energy Management System. This system consists of a thermopile sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor module is rotated by $360^{\circ}$ and yawed up-and-down by two electric motors. Therefore, it can simultaneously detect the number and location of the inhabitants in the room. It uses wireless technology to communicate with the building manager or the smart-home server, and it can save electric energy by controlling the lighting system or heating/air conditioning equipment automatically. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system by applying it to a real environment.

Modern agriculture is changing from resource-oriented agriculture to technology-oriented agriculture. Agriculture, which combines science and technology, is recognized as a new growth engine, and governments, local governments, research institutes, and industry are working together to develop and disseminate various devices necessary for smart farms to build intelligent smart farms. Recently, research is being conducted to build a more intelligent agricultural environment by building a cloud platform. In this paper, we propose a plan to build an urban energy - independent smart farm that can utilize leisure time and agricultural activities by utilizing the rooftop of a city. Also, by using IT technology, various data of smart farm can be managed on remote server, and HMI module for controlling internal environment of smart farm can be developed to manage smart farm automatically or semi-automatically. The service model suggests a model that can manage the internal environment of the smart farm based on mobile.

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established Heating and cooling energy conservation plan of apartment for 2017, reducing 90% compared to energy consumption of 1990. Also, at 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Ministry announced to reduce 37% of estimated $CO^2$ emission(850 million ton) at 2030. To satisfy this, it is urgent to reduce $CO^2$ emission due to the building, which takes majority amount of total $CO^2$ emission, and public interest for the commissioning of intensified building performance is uprising. However, the building commissioning at construction is not enacted, and not activated due to the lackness of promotion and will of general contractor. Furthermore, commissioning is not mandatory for obtaining G-SEED certification. Therefore, this paper describes effectiveness of commissioning with comparison of commissioning evaluation criteria of G-SEED with LEED and BREEAM, to propose making commissioning as mandatory process and drive changes in perception among stakeholders for activation of domestic building commissioning.

Recently, there has been a tendency to improve seismic performance of building structure by installing a steel hysteretic damping device which is economically efficient and easy to install and maintain. However, for a reinforced concrete building, a set of complicated connecting hardware and braces to fix the steel hysteretic damping device yields deteriorated reliability in damping performance. Therefore, this study presents a method of directly embedding a Kagome damper, which was investigated in previous researches, into a concrete structure without additional connecting hardware. Moreover, in this study, a series of experiments conducted to provide a basis of the Kagome damper by confirming the seismic behavior for various embedded lengths. As a result, in a group of the embedded length of $1.0l_d$, the dampers were pulled out, while concrete breakout occurs. In a group of $2.0l_d$, neither pull-out nor concrete breakout occurred, while the dampers show stable behavior. Moreover, the buried length of $2.0l_d$ has 1.3 times better energy dissipation capacity. The system presented in this study can reduce the cost and period for installing, omitting making additional hardware.

As climate change is becoming the main issue, various efforts are focused on saving building energy consumption both at home and abroad. In particular, it is very important to save energy by maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of existing multi-family housing complex, because energy consumption in residential buildings is not only forming a great part of gross energy consumption in Korea but the number of deteriorated complexes is also sharply increasing. However, energy saving is not considered as a main factor in decision making on rehabilitation project. Also, any supporting tool is not appropriately prepared in existing process. As the first step for development of decision support system on rehabilitation, this paper developed a breakdown structure, which makes clusters of multi-family housing complexes. Decision tree, one of data mining methods, was used to make clusters based on the characteristics and energy consumption data of multi-family housing complexes. Energy saving and CO2 reduction will be maximized by considering energy consumption during rehabilitation process of multi-family housing complex, based on these results and following research.

In this paper, We implement a power-saving and efficient measures in buildings using the smart-meter. In order to save electric power energy, We propose an improved automatic power-factor controller(APFC) and demand control measures. This is achieved by controlling directly circuit breakers and the capacitor bank feeders in real time via a two-way smart-meter's ICT skills. Improved APFC is minimizing installation costs by series-parallel connecting heterologous capacitors to form a more diverse capacitor banking and controlling using the smart-meter. In order to suppress the demand power, We have designed a smart-meter with communication functions using Atmel's AVR465 and tested an operated lodging building for 24-hours. As a result, We made sure to always retained more than 95% power factor and did not occur over compensation.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) 조명 기술이 친환경 조명 기술로 떠오르고 있다. LED는 기존의 백열등, 형광등 조명에 비해 에너지 효율이 좋아, 최근 우리나라에서도 가로등, 신호 등을 LED 조명으로 교체하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 건물의 외장이나 전시회 등에 사용되는 LED 시스템의 경우, 가격적인 측면보다 성능적인 측면이 더 중요시 되고 있으며, 이러한 고급조명용 LED 시스템에는 색을 관리 및 제어해주는 장치 즉, MCU의 탑재가 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는 LED를 이용한 조명용 백색광원의 색좌표 및 색온도 제어가 가능한 디지털 파워플랫폼을 개발하고 그 성능을 측정하였다.

태풍 및 집중호우로 인해 댐과 저수지 등의 붕괴위험이 증가되고 있으며, 실제로 붕괴가 일어나 크고 작은 피해사례가 증가하고 있다. 담수의 목적을 가진 댐과 저수지가 붕괴될 경우 다른 자연재해에 비해 인명 및 재산에 대한 피해가 막대하다. 따라서 국가 및 각 지자체에서 관리하고 있는 댐과 저수지는 안전성 평가 및 비상대처계획 등을 수립하여 만약의 상황에 대해 대비를 하고 있다. 특히 비상대처계획의 경우 댐 붕괴시 상황을 예상하여 홍수파의 전파와 대피로 등을 설정하는 것으로 댐 붕괴상황시 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 지금까지의 비상대처계획 수립시 하류부 홍수파 해석은 1차원 모형을 활용하여 범람지역의 산정 및 홍수파에 대한 정보를 획득하였다. 1차원 모형의 경우 빠른 계산시간과 해석을 위한 절차가 간단한 장점이 있으나 건물 및 제내지의 정확한 지형을 반영하지 못하며, 제내지에서의 홍수파 전파양상 등을 나타내지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정확한 지형의 반영과 제내지에서의 상세한 홍수파 해석이 가능한 2차원 모형을 이용하여 비상대처계획 수립시 적용성을 검토해보았다. 실제 붕괴사례인 경주 산대저수지 붕괴를 통해 2차원 모형의 정확성을 검증하였으며, 이를 국내 A저수지에 적용하여 비상대처계획도를 작성하였다. 대상저수지의 경우 댐 직하류부에 주거지역 및 홍수파가 넓게 퍼질 수 있는 지형을 가지고 있어 2차원 모형의 장점을 잘 활용할 수 있다고 판단하여 대상 저수지로 선정하였다. 1차원 모형인 DAMBRK 모형과 2차원 모형인 FLO-2D 모형을 사용하여 1 2차원 모형의 댐 붕괴홍수파 해석 결과를 비교하고, 그 결과를 이용한 비상대처계획도를 작성을 하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 기존에 활용되던 비상대처계획도의 단점을 보완하여 정확한 침수범위 및 홍수파 전파양상을 나타낼 수 있는 새로운 비상대처계획도 작성할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 정확한 지형의 반영이 필요하거나 댐 및 저수지 하류부에 도심지가 위치한 경우 제내지에서의 상세한 홍수파 정보를 제공할 수 있는 비상대처계획도 작성에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
