The insulation performance of the insulation currently used in building structures is reflected only during design based on initial performance and the reduction in heat insulation performance due to the degradation of long-term durability is not reflected. This study reviewed the degradation of heat insulation performance due to the durability degradation of insulating materials through the accelerated durability test. The study findings showed that the foamed polystyrene insulation bead method did not show performance degradation due to aging in the standard environmental condition and laboratory accelerated test condition but the performance is degraded in the freeze-thaw test condition. On the other hand, in the case of the extrusion method, the degradation of the heat insulation performance was less in the freeze-thaw test condition, but the rapid performance degradation was caused by the release of the internal gas at the beginning of aging. In addition, the hard polyurethane foam insulation showed better initial insulation performance than other insulation materials, but the performance was found to be degraded somewhat under laboratory accelerated test conditions and freeze-thaw test conditions.

본 연구에서는 경골 목조 주택 (2${\times}$4 주택, 2${\times}$6 주택), 통나무 주택 및 콘크리트 주택(내단열, 중단열, 외단열) 벽체에 대하여 유한 요소 해석으로 단열 성능을 평가하였고, 표면 결로 현상을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 벽체의 단열 성능은 정량 골조 2${\times}$6를 사용한 주택이 가장 우수하였고, 경량 골조 2${\times}$4 주택, 통나무 주택, 콘크리트 주택의 순으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 콘크리트 벽체의 내단열, 중단열, 외단열의 벽체 구성법에 따른 단열 성능의 차이는 없었으며, 콘크리트 주택에서 단열재의 사용이 필수적이었다. 3. 내부 결로의 경우 콘크리트 벽체의 외단열이 가장 우수한 결로 예방성을 보였다. 이는 외부에 설치된 단열층이 외부의 낮은 온도를 차단해 벽체 전체의 온도를 높게 유지하기 때문이었다. 표면 결로는 모든 벽체에서 나타나지 않았지만, 실내 습도가 높아진다면 콘크리트 주택의 벽체에서 발생할 가능성이 가장 높았다. 본 연구는 벽체내의 단열 성능에 관하여만 분석을 하였고, 열전달 외에 축열성능 등에 관한 고려는 하지 않았으므로 추후에는 여러 가지 복합적인 열적 성능에 관한 연구가 수행되어야 하리라고 생각한다.

Insulation of rooftop is one of the major performance to energy-saving construction. Further, waterproofing performance is also important. For such a reason, it is need to develop waterproofing method containing thermal insulation property. This study was wanted to evaluate thermal insulation performance about the composite waterproofing method of thermal supplement type that is developed recently. As a result of waterproofing performance test, every test item was showed over the performance standards of KS (Korean (Industrial) Standards). And the result of thermal insulation performance test, the highest temperature in the styrofoam box was $25.91^{\circ}C$, the bubble sheet box was $17.28^{\circ}C$, the insulation sheet box was $15.47^{\circ}C$ and the waterproofing sheet box of thermal supplement type was $24.11^{\circ}C$. In observations of thermal bridges of sheet's joint, thermal bridges was not identified at the sheet's joint. As a result, composite waterproofing method of thermal supplement type is interpreted to have thermal insulation performance.

Energy saving standard for buildings are strengthened, the application of exterior insulation finishing system and thickness of insulation materials are increasing. Most buildings with exterior insulation finishing system is applied organic insulating material. Organic insulating material have workability, economic feasibility, reduction in construction cost, and excellent thermal insulation performance. However, Organic insulating material is very vulnerable to heat, so when a fire occurs, rapid fire spread and toxic gas are generated, causing many casualties. Inorganic insulating material can be non-combustible performance, but it is heavy and has low thermal insulation performance. Mineral wool has higher thermal insulation performance than other types of inorganic insulating material, but mineral wool is disadvantageous to workability and vulnerable to moisture. Glass bubble are highly resistant to water and chemically stable substances. In addition, the density of the glass bubble is very low and the particles are spherical, fluidity is improved by the ball bearing effect. Glass bubbles can be used with cement-based ino rganic insulating material to impro ve the weight and thermal insulatio n perfo rmance o f cement-based inorganic insulation. This study produced a inorganic insulating materials were manufactured using cement-based materials and glass bubble. In order to evaluate the insulation performance and flame retardant performance of cement-based super light-weight inorganic insulating materials using with glass bubble, insulation performance or flame retardant and non-combustible performance were evaluated after manufacturing insulating materials using micro cement and two types of glass bubbles. From the test result, Increasing the mixing ratio of glass bubbles improved the insulation performance of cement-based super light-weight inorganic insulating materials, and when the mixing ratio of glass bubbles was 10%, it sho wed sufficient flame retardant and no n-co mbustible perfo rmance.

MLI(Multi-layer Insulation) is widely used to get highly insulating on cryogenic system in order to reduce heat loads. MLI for satellites thermal performance is changed by materials and laminated method. In this study, a composite multilayer insulation by application of heat stroage tank performance were compared with materials and laminated to change the way. Experimental methods of the KS C 9805 was used, the composite multilayer insulation and EPS was compared with the insulation performance. A method for analysis of experimental results is the equivalent thickness about CMI and the insulation performance were used to compare thermal conductance. As a results, the equivalnet thickenss and the thermal conductance of the composite multilayer insulation were smaller than the EPS and the thermal performance are more excellent. In addition, the configuration of the composite multilayer insulation materials and laminated method varies depending on the overall heat transfer coefficient was confirmed.

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.

Although the life jacket can provide the buoyance with the drowner, heat loss can make the drowned individual be subject to the hypothermia. In this study, The thermal insulation of two types life jacket including inflatable and foam type were evaluate by both experiments and numerical analysis. To estimate the thermal resistance of the jackets, experiments on the heat flux were conducted by the thermal manikin exposed to cold water. Heat flux loss on the surface of thermal manikin were measured for both foam and inflatable type life jacket. Also, finite element method is applied to a body section in order to understand the level of hypothermia of each life jacket. The segmental of human thigh is represented by a multi-layered section which considers the heat conduction within tissue, bone and fat. As a result, the thermal resistance and hypothermia time of each jackets have been compared based on the finite element analysis. It was found that the insulation ability of suggested life jackets is better than that of conventional type.
