The problem controlling lateral drift by the wind and the earthquake is very important in high rise buildings. But, outrigger system, generally used for residential tall buildings in Korea, has weak points with the occupancy of special space, the difficult construction and the long duration of works. On the other hand, the damper reduces story drifts of building structure by absorbing vibration energy induced by the dynamic loads and the application of damper systems is relatively simple. Also, the lateral drift control system such as outrigger system may raise the wind vibration problem of serviceability like human comfort and this problem may need another vibration control devices. Accordingly, we analyze the effect of the drift control using various dampers to substitute for outrigger system as the efficient system in residential tall buildings.

The slowdown of private building industry resulted in growth of remodeling market as a way to improve energy performance. Remodeling is considered more cost-effective and eco-friendly approach for energy efficient building than new construction. Since 2008, Seoul has promoted Building Retrofit Project (BRP) preponderantly to attract energy-saving renovation by supporting building owners to switch building system into energy-saving system when they remodel their old buildings. According to 2012 press release, 254 Private sectors participated in this green building project and annually reduced 41000ton of greenhouse gas emission, 14000TOE, which also result in 7.5 billion won energy cost savings per year. The paper focuses on the building envelope remodeling as a way to improve energy efficiency. Different components of the building envelope such as wall insulation, window, and shading, were applied to the baseline model and the comparison was analyzed to come up with the ideal solution. This study only assesses the building envelope as to suggest the way to redesign the better energy performing building. Offering solution focusing on the architectural feature is essential because it will provide basic information and standard when remodeling a building for energy efficiency, especially, for the nonresidential buildings used as rental offices.

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.

우리나라 전국의 사찰수는 약 22,000개로 추정되며, e-나라지표에 의하면 사찰 역사가 오래되거나 전통 양식의 건축물과 문화재 등을 간직한 사찰로 문화체육관광부가 지정하는 전통사찰은 2010년 3월말 현재 전체의 4.2%인 935개로 알려져 있다. 대도시에 위치한 사찰을 제외하면 일반적으로 사찰은 계곡에 위치하여 인근에 하천이 있으며, 유역이 작아 유량은 적으나 경사가 심해 낙차를 크게 얻을 수 있다. 또한 설계제원이 비슷한 전통사찰들을 그룹핑하고 소수력발전시스템을 Kit형태로 표준화하여 개발한다면 초기투자비를 저감할 수 있는 장점도 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전통사찰에 소수력발전의 적용가능성을 타진하기 위하여 유역면적이 $49.71km^2$인 사찰 1지점을 선정하여 인근의 하천을 이용한 소수력발전 성능특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 단위 유효낙차당 설비용량은 약 9.3kW, 연간전기생산량은 약 28,602kWh로 산정되었으며, 낙차가 커질수록 설비규모와 연간전기생산량은 비례하여 증가될 것으로 추정된다. 부존자원이 부족하여 에너지해외의존도가 97%가 넘는 현실을 감안할때 전통사찰에 대한 타당성 조사를 통해 소수력발전을 적용함으로서 사찰에서 사용되는 전기에너지의 절약과 친환경 재생에너지의 활용을 확대해 나가는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

The recently constructed buildings are ensuring seismic safety with enhanced design criteria. But, the buildings unapplied enhanced design criteria are very weak. In this study, steel grid shear wall is proposed as a solution of seismic retrofit to ensure safety of the existing buildings for the earthquake. And the structural performance experiments were carried out under axial force and cyclic lateral loads. The two specimens were made of a reference RC frame and steel grid shear wall in-filled RC frame. The test setup configured with two dynamic actuators, for the axial force with a 500kN capacity actuator and for the cyclic lateral load applied with the 2,000kN actuator. Compared with control specimen, the strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity of the seismic retrofit structures is evaluated.

The aim of this paper is a seismic performance evaluation of metallic damper devices which are efficient in workability and installation process. For this V shape and S shape dampers is considered. The strut figures of dampers are V shape and S shape and, the research parameters are strut height and angle of the dampers. ABAQUS program is used for nonlinear finite element analysis. The analysis is performed with the hysteretic curve that has maximum displacement with 50mm and has increased progressive. As a results of evaluating the yield strength, maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity of each device, V and S shape have a good strength capacity and the devices with strut angle $60^{\circ}$ and strut height 140 and 200mm are evaluated stable in seismic behaviors. The response of S shape is more efficient than that of V shape. In the yield strength estimation process, proposed formula can not estimate the yield strength of V and S shape dampers. Even though, the formula can not consider the variation of strut heights and strut angles. Finally the S shape damper is recommended in seismic performance than V shape damper.

This study investigates the thermal conductivity and density of expanded polystyrene insulation materials collected from buildings under going energy retrofit projects. Due to the absence of initial thermal conductivity data, determining precise long-term patterns was challenging. Analysis based on design documents revealed that expanded polystyrene insulation maintained consistent performance over ten years. Notably, the thermal conductivity measurements of insulation samples of the same grade and age varied significantly. Additionally, the insulation density was found to be substantially below the standard specified in the design documents. The results of the experiment indicate that performance management during both construction and operation phases is lacking. It is crucial to apply building commissioning, which involves performance verification throughout the building's life cycle, to properly evaluate building energy performance improvements, such as building energy retrofit projects.

In order to evaluate the energy performance of buildings, it is important to determine reliable information of energy utilization during operating phase. It is also required to establish the database which have the amounts of population deducted by objective filtering and analysis. In this study, all energy sources were applied to evaluate synthetically the energy performance of Multi-Family Housings(MFH) using district heating and the amounts of population were obtained sufficiently through data searching in Seoul and neighbor cities. Finally the database of source energy utilization and $CO_2$ emission in 325 MFH complexes were established through cross validation between data sources and statistical analysis. Additionally, further ideas have been proposed to improve existing MFH Management Information System.

Many researches and policies have been carried out for saving energy in buildings. However, there are a few studies of thermal characteristics of wood-based materials that have been widely used as structural materials and finishing materials in buildings. In this study, thermal bridging areas were found to investigate thermal performance of residential building using non wood-based materials and wood-based materials. And heat transfer analysis of 16 case studies according to composition of structural materials and finishing materials was conducted. Also in this experiment, Physibel Trisco was used as the heat transfer analysis simulation tool, which conforms to the calculation method of ISO 10211. Analytical modeling was also carried out according to the ISO 10211, and the boundary temperature conditions were set at room temperature $20^{\circ}C$ and outdoor temperature $-11.3^{\circ}C$ (Seoul standard) according to the energy saving design standard in South Korea. Applied structures are classified according to the cases of concrete structure with non wood-based finishing materials, concrete structure with wood-based finishing materials and wood structure. Analyzed building elements were divided into a wall, a roof, an interlayer floor and a bottom floor. As a result, it can be confirmed that the thermal bridge of the concrete structure and wood structure were caused by the geometrical and material causes. In addition, the structural thermal bridge was caused in the discontinuity of the insulation in the concrete structure. Also it was confirmed that the linear heat transfer coefficient of the wall decreases when the wood-based materials are applied to the concrete structure.
