Recently, as structures in Korea and other countries become much taller, larger, and more specialized, concrete used for constructions of these structures is required to have high performance characteristics. Especially, seismic performance of concrete must be improved to resist cyclic loading from earthquakes. Consequently, this study was performed to focus on developing optimal mixtures of high ductile fiber reinforced mortar with high ductility and durability, which have good serviceability, stability and reliability performances. Eventually, this material is expected to improve seismic performance of concrete structures such as load carrying capacity, ductility capacity, and energy dissipation capacity when applied to critical regions of flat plate slab-column joint. Ultimately, this research is intended to develop a material for basic designs and practical constructions of reinforced concrete structures. Test results showed that the maximum load carrying capacity, the ductility capacity, and the energy dissipation capacity of the test specimens titled RCFPP series were increased by 15%~34%, by 33%~37%, and by 2.14 times, respectively, compared to those of the standard specimen titled SRCFP.

The building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system has a double advantage that it reduces costs for exterior materials and PV panels. It allows the construction of a low-energy building without the need for the additional installation space. At the construction planning stage, however, it requires sufficient evaluation on the efficiency and performance. This study was performed to promote the distribution of photovoltaic power generation system by estimating the potential photovoltaic power generation capacity of the BIPV system installed on the university lecture building and by evaluating the characteristics and performances of window, spandrel and combined attachment types via the simulation of generation capacity per unit area.

The masonry structure is constructed by cement mortar binding material of brick objects and uses reinforced hardware(connected hardware or wall tie) together when building. However, over time, the corrosion of reinforced steel and the deterioration of joint mortar as well as bricks cause the risk of collapse. In particular, when the externally decorated brick wall is installed on the concrete girder for each floor, the angle bracket is not constructed or corroded, the full-layer weight load is applied to the wall of 0.5B, which is an example of full-scale or collapse. As a result of the evaluation, it was confirmed that the performance was improved compared to the existing bracket, and we plan to carry out a real-life test and long-term performance review of the building using the bracket in the future.

Today, global warming is one of main problems all over the world. The cause of the global warming is carbon dioxide outbreak by the rapidly increasing energy use. Therefore, it is necessary to save energy in each industrious field. It was investigated that the half of total energy consumption over the world was used for construction and building. Therefore, the saving of the building energy plays a significant role in decreasing total energy consumption. With the considerable increase in building energy consumption, a green building rating system and certification are required to reduce building energy consumption and $CO_2$ emissions. Of various elements reducing building energy, the thermal conductivity of materials affects the energy consumption as a basic element, which is directly related with reducing energy consumption. In particular, as the thermal conductivity of finishing materials is an important factor to decide heating energy efficiency of floor heating system, the investigation and development are necessary.

The more demands on efficient utilization of resources, the more structural engineers prefer to select remodeling to improve old building's capacity. A series of four shear wall specimens were tested under constant axial stress and reversed cyclic lateral loading in order to evaluate the effect of the opening on the lower center of the wall induce by remodeling. Consequently, the existence of opening was verified to induce a different failure, which was caused by reduction of compression strut area formed on the wall to diagonal direction. Especially, the ultimate strength of the wall with an opening was revealed approximately 35% lower than that of the wall without an opening. And the similar results were appeared in characteristics of stiffness and energy dissipation capacity.

Meteorological data is one of the important factors in the calculation of building energy demand. The purposes of this study are to review the limitations of the typical meteorological data of ECO2 program and to create the new typical meteorological data and then analyze the building energy demands for additional regions which are not included in the existing 13 region in the ECO2 program. The extended typical meteorological data to a total of 33 regions were based on IWEC(International Weather for Energy Calculations) data files and were created in the form applicable to the building energy efficiency rating certification system. As a result of comparing the heating energy demands of a representative region with the surrounding regions in each of five regions in Korea, the variance of Cv(RMSE) ranged from 36% to 344% and MBE ranged from -32% to 190% for the whole regions. This suggests that the difference of heating energy demand may vary greatly depending on the region where the meteorological data is used and the meteorological data of more detailed regions is needed for reliable calculation of building energy demand.

In this study, we analyzed high-performance building technologies through a case study of 65 high-performance buildings in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Oceania. In detail, we reviewed the international trend of building energy-saving technology and energy consumption per unit area by analyzing buildings constructed within a 10 year period(2008-018). The primary energy consumption was $48-440kWh/m^2$, and the average value was calculated as $169.3kWh/m^2$. Although some buildings received high certification ratings, they did not meet either Korean or international energy evaluation standards. The system analysis revealed that many energy-saving technologies show various application rates in different countries because the technologies possess different properties. Furthermore, small-area building groups tended to have less primary energy consumption than the medium and large-area buildings, but the area-energy relationship $R^2$ value was analyzed as 0.3161, indicating no clear proportional relationship. Therefore, we propose that it is necessary to maximize the energy savings of buildings by taking into consideration a region's code, climate, building usage, area and space-using patterns to reduce energy and greenhouse gas emissions.

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.

The information on the planar figure of the building envelope is commonly required in various criteria related to the energy performance of the building. However, since the method of creating varies depending on each criterion, the information displayed in the planar figure of the building envelope differs considerably according to the person making the figure. In this regard, this study sought to derive the commonly required information for the unification of the information included in the planar figure of the building envelope, and thus examine the standardization of the planar figure of the building envelope based on BIM. Towards this end, 1) the required information about the planar figure of the building envelope was derived through the literature review and case analysis results submitted to the energy performance evaluation agencies, and 2) the standardized output technology using IFC was investigated based on the required information. Therefore, it is expected that the findings of this study will help to create a general-purpose planar figure for the building envelope, and this study can serve as the preliminary research for automatically extracting the information on the planar figure of the building envelope.
