  • 지하철 역사에서의 신조명 방식을 적용(특히 승강장)하기 위하여, 우선 지하철역사의 조명 특성 및 현황을 살펴보고, 최근의 주요 신조명 방식 몇 가지를 점검해 본 후, 그중 현실적인 여건상 바람직한 조명이라고 생각되는 광파이프 조명을 중심으로 현재 일반적으로 설치된 형광등 조명 방식과 비교/검토해 보았다. 광파이프 국내공급사에서 입수한 조명 프로그램으로써 국내의 지하철 역사 승강장을 시뮬레이션 해본 결과로는, 광파이프 조명시스템(프리즘 방식)은 초기 투자가 너무 크고 효율적인 광원이 없어, 현재까지는 형광등조명보다도 약 배 이상 고비용이며 원래의 라인 조명으로서의 양호한 균제도 특성도 충분히 살리지 못하여 좀 더 발전시켜야 적합해질 것이라고 판단되었다.

  • A daylighting system includes three parts; light collector, light transformer and light distributor. A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylighting system consists of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism film light pipe distributor. The double blinds for a light collection are used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements throughout the day. Behind both sets of blinds is the light transformer, which is based on a rectangular cone shaped light duct. The light transformer was designed to efficiently deliver the light into the light pipe within a 30 degree radial spread for the efficient light into the distributor. In this study, DBLP system efficiency was simulated, evaluated and optimized by Tracepro as a popular ray trace light design simulation program. The results indicated that DBLP system efficiency evaluated a maximum 22.4% in case of Spring/Fall season solar noon time. While the overall average system efficiency in the morning and afternoon is evaluated about 10%.

  • The use of natural light has the potential for improving both the energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality in buildings. A light-pipe system can introduce daylight to spaces that would otherwise not be able to benefit from the advantages of daylight penetration. For the light-pipe system to be widely used in Korea, it is important to quantify its daylighting performance with due consideration regarding the effects imposed by the local climate conditions. This paper presents the evaluation results of existing semi-empirical models to predict daylighting performance of a light-pipe system. The evaluation of the existing models was based on the monitoring data obtained from a underground parking lot in which the light-pipe system was installed. Comparisons were made between the predicted and the monitored data obtained from the study. The results indicated that semi-empirical models which was developed using the experimental data obtained under the Korean climatic conditions had a good prediction performance. We also quantified the effects caused by sky conditions, solar altitudes, room dimensions, and the aspect ratio of a light-pipe system on both the daylighting performance of the light-pipe system and the indoor illuminance distributions of the space using the semi-empirical model. Finally, this paper provides the design guideline of the light-pipe system for its application to an underground parking lot space.

  • The use of natural light can improve the quality of indoor environment and also occupants health. In recent years, with an increasing awareness of sustainable development, various innovative methods of integrating daylight into the building have been developed. One such device is the light pipe system. The light pipes are innovative daylighting system that allow the transmission of daylight into the hard-to-reach indoor space. The system consist of mainly three parts. First, a top collector which is mounted on the outside of the roof and gathers skylight and sunlight. Second, light-reflective tube which is coated with highly reflective mirror finish material to transmit the daylight into the diffuser. Third, a diffuser which is installed on the ceiling in the room and spread the daylight into the room. Light pipes have been widely used and researched in many countries such as Australia, America, Canada and Britain. However, despite the significant daylight potential, little work have been carried out in Korea compare to the other countries. In this study, recent lighting technology and application of light pipe system in both Korea and other countries have been compared. For the results, the benefits of each light pipe system and suitable application in Korea is also discussed.

  • The aim of this paper is to show the daylight environment of a light pipe system according to sun movement. A light pipe system has been mounted on the roof of the windowless full scale model: the solar spot has diameter of 0.65m and is 1.3m long, giving an aspect ratio of 1:2. The full scale model was installed on the rooftop of the SHINAN apartment in Yongin city that has no obstructions against sunlight. The test room is equipped with sensors for the measurements of the internal illuminance and has an area of 6m(W)$\times$6m(D)$\times$4m(H). The system has been monitored with a data-logger to evaluate the cumulative distribution of illuminance on a floor-plane from 16th, April to 29th, May, 2008 over one month and selected clear sky condition. For the daylight performance of floor area, the totally 49 measuring points has been used to determine the internal illuminance and an HP datalogger(HP34970A) records the measurements for one consecutive month. The horizontal external illuminance has been measured with two outdoor sensors. This paper presents the results of monitoring light pipe system with internal/external illuminance ratio and cumulative frequency distribution of floor-plane illuminance are discussed The results show that lightpipe is proficient device for introducing daylight into the building. However It provided different daylight indoor environment with wide or narrow Interquatile range of illuminance, internal/external illuminance ratio and cumulative frequency distribution according to solar positions under suuny sky condition. For more achieving the improvement of lightpipes also include energy savings, user visual comfort with various indicators; seasonal solar height, room and lightpipes geometries.

  • A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylight system can be installed at a building exterior wall or roof to replace artificial light during the day time. This system was consisted of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism light pipe distributor. The double blinds were used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements to collect the sunlight throughout the day. The sunlight collected by the light collector was reflected on the first mirror and the second mirror and sent to the light pipe through the light transformer. The transformer was designed to deliver the sunlight into the light pipe efficiently. The light distributor plays a role in diffusing the sunlight coming in through the light collector to be used for indoor lighting. In this paper, a DBLP system has been designed, installed and tested at a KIER daylighting twin test cell. The DBLP daylighting system was applied to the experimental test cell which has an indoor area of 2.0 m wide ${\times}$ 2.4 m height ${\times}$ 3.8 m length. The experiment was conducted from January 30 to February 27, 2012, under clear skies and partially cloudy skies. Data was collected from 10:00 am to 16:00 pm every 2 minute and the average was calculated for every 30 minute of the data collection to obtain the system efficiency. The results indicated that the DBLP system efficiency was evaluated as 11.67%. The DBLP system indoor illumination energy reduction was predicted as 0.822 kWh/day. This could replace 4 sets of a 32W fluorescent lamp operating 6.4 hours per a day.

  • The LFLP (Linear Fresnel Light Pipe) system uses a linear Fresnel lens to follow the sun and concentrates the parallel sunlight into a line. A LFLP daylighting system has been developed and updated to a DBLP (Double Blind Light Pipe) daylighting system to improve the overall system efficiency in the morning and afternoon. The new design consists of a double-blind style with a cone-shaped light transformer. The blinds are used to collect the sun's altitude and azimuth movements through the day. Behind the two sets of blinds is the light transformer, which is based on a parabolic-shaped light concentrator. The light transformer is designed to efficiently deliver light within a thirty-degree radial spread so that the light pipe can internally reflect the light. The results of scale-model tests are encouraging, and the efficiency is three times higher than that of the previous LFLP system.
