최근 건물 내 에너지 소비량의 30%를 점유하고 있는 조명 에너지 절감을 위해 자연광을 이용하여 인공조명의 의존도를 낮추고 에너지 사용을 최소화하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 조명 에너지 소비 절감 및 재실자의 작업 능률 향상을 위해 조명시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 Relux를 이용하여 소규모 사무 공간을 3D로 모델링하고, 이를 기준으로 시간대별 자연광의 유입량에 따라 조명장치를 점멸제어, 조광제어, 스텝제어의 다양한 제어방법을 적용하여 반복적인 시뮬레이션 과정을 통해 각 제어방법에 따른 에너지 절감률을 비교 및 분석하였다. 분석 결과 조광제어가 60.5%로 가장 높은 에너지 절감률을 보였다.

The energy efficient design of the multiple stock housing is very important not only to save energy but also to increase sustainability in a whole city because the multiple stock housing type is dominated in the major residential supply markets in Korea. During the early design phase of the multiple stock housing type, the architect need convenient and accurate tools for evaluating energy consumptions based on building types rapidly. Building Information Modeling(BIM) is introduced as useful tool systems providing interoperability between 3rd dimensional modeling tools and environmental engineering analysis tools, and could reduce time and cost for unnecessary modeling works in the analysis. However, it is still hard to apply to building design practice and integrated energy simulation techniques because interoperability using industrial standard file formats such as IFC and bXML is still underdeveloped. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to perform the building energy simulations, to compare the results on typical building types in multiple stock housing based on BIM, and to clear the problems using industrial standard file formats between 3rd dimensional modeling and building energy simulation software. In addition, through comparisons with simulation results according to the typical building types such as building forms, orientations, and building stories, the interrelation ship and characteristics of BIM based building energy simulation software are analysed and evaluated.

Hospitals contribute to energy consumption and have a negative environmental impact. This study aims to find how meaningful energy performance, reflecting good energy management and design, can be planned for hospital buildings, a category encompassing complex buildings with different setups and large differences between them. Energy-consumption characteristics were surveyed throughout Korea to establish statistical energy models. Findings confirm that different hospital departments have hugely different energy-demand profiles. Energy efficiency and energy-saving potentials on HVAC systems are presented. The energy performance analysis can be applied to a wide range of problems in energy-system design and planning, including simulations and optimizations of community energy systems.

Han-green project, which pursues Korean style post and beam timber house with traditional construction technique of Han-ok, has been carried out in KFRI (Korea Forest Research Institute) since 2006. Recently, the improvement of its building energy performance was studied with energy-saving elements. This study was conducted to provide the insulation details of building envelopes in a post-beam timber house for recent enhanced insulation standards and following effect on building energy performance. The level of thermal transmittance (U-value) values of building envelopes was composed of two stages: present Korean insulation standards and passive house. To evaluate building energy performance, the building airtightness values of two stages was ACH50 = $3.0h^{-1}$ for common domestic timber house constructed recently, and ACH50 = $0.6h^{-1}$ for passive house. Consequently, four cases of the building energy performance according to the combination of U-value with airtightness were evaluated. The test house for evaluation was located in Seoul and its energy performance was evaluated with CE3 commercial building energy simulation program. The result showed that enhanced insulation from level I to II reduced $14kWh/(m^2{\cdot}a)$ of annual heating energy demand regardless of airtightness.

The goal of this study is to analyze the impact of load factors on building energy consumption by using EnergyPlus program. We selected a campus building and monitored energy consumption from January 2009 to November 2010. First, we simulated energy consumption basically with weather data, building heat gain and EHP performance data. And then we simulated energy consumption with three additional parameter(infiltration, OA control and schedule). Simulation results are verified by MBE and Cv(RMSE) proposed by M&V guideline 3.0. Simulated total energy consumption was 104.3% of measurements, 4.33% of MBE, and 13.62% of Cv(RMSE). Results show infiltration and schedule were revealed as the most dominant factor of heating energy consumption and of cooling energy consumption, respectively.

This work aims to develop a platform to investigate the effect of operation schedules on the building energy consumption and to derive a simulation model based optimal start and stop daily strategy. An open-source building energy simulation tool DOE2 is used for the engine, and the developed simulation model is validated using ASHRAE guideline 14. The effect of late-start/early-stop operation of HVAC system on the daily building energy consumption was analyzed using the developed simulation model. It was found that about 10% of energy consumption cut was possible using the control strategy for an hour of advance of the stop operation, and about 3% per an hour of delay of the start operation.

The present paper deals with two types of heating methods widely used for the Radiant Floor heating systems in Korea. Of these, one method circulates hot water according to the predefined schedule ("intermittent heating") while the other runs the system with the aid of thermostats ("continuous heating"). The standard version of SERI-RES has been modified for the numerical simulation of the problem. Preliminary results show relatively large temperature swings in the case of intermittent heating with solar availability. On the other hand, the case of continuous heating would avoid such undesirable temperature fluctuations. These results are also verified by experimental evaluations.

This study aims to choose installation location of wind power system and analyze influence factors of wind power system by shape of super high-raise building by using CFD simulation. As a result of this study, wind power system is more applicable to streamlined building than normal building. Round openings are seemed to be the most efficient shape for building integrated wind power system in types applying venturi effect. Safety and vibration should be considered in the case of application of wind power system between the buildings.

주거 상업용 건물에 있어 최근 TV, LED 조명, 컴퓨터, IT 기기들과 같은 직류를 사용하는 부하가 점차 증가함에 따라 기존의 교류 배전 기반의 건물 전력구조에서 에너지절감을 위한 하나의 방안으로 직류기반의 건물 배전구조에 대한 도입에 대한 연구가 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 또한 직류 형태의 전원인 태양광 발전, 연료전지 등의 신재생 에너지와 가정 및 전기자동차용 배터리의 등장은 직류 기반 전력구조가 가지는 강점을 더욱 부각시키고 있다. 직류 배전 시스템은 기존 교류 배전에서 직류부하를 위한 다중의 전력 변환 과정을 최소화함으로서 전원 및 부하에서 소모되는 에너지를 절감하여 전력시장 내 전체적인 탄소배출량 저감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 고려되어지고 있다. 이는 직류배전 시스템의 에너지 저감 효용성 이외 기존 교류배전 대비 부하단 부품 수의 감소에 따른 신뢰성 향상 및 가격 저감, 무효전력 고려사항의 제거 등 많은 장점을 가지기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 소용량 건물에 직류배전 구조가 도입될 경우 실현 가능성이 높은 대표적 직류 배전 구조들을 Functional Modeling 기법을 통해 모델링하며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 교류 배전 건물과 함께 각각의 전력계 구조에 대한 효율 및 장단점들을 정성적으로 비교하고, 구현에 필요한 고려사항들을 제시한다.

The simulation tool of building energy - EnergyPlus (DOE and BLAST based simulation S/W), it has been used and accomplished calculations and analyses for evaluating the effect of the system types and operating condition of central HVAC plant on the building energy consumption. In this paper, we offer comparison and simultaneous results those involve electricity consumption pattern and amount between actual operation versus EnergyPlus simulation to the object building during summer season.
