야간의 잉여전력으로 열을 저장해두었다 주간에 이용하는 축열공조에는 50여년에 걸친 긴 역사가 있었다. 이 방식이 가지는 효용에 일찍부터 눈뜬 선각자들의 노력에도 불구하고 당초 보급은 늦어져 그다지 진전이 없었다고 한다. 이러한 정세가 일변한 것은 전력공급에 병목현상이 생겨 부하 평준화가 안정공급에 있어 필요불가결의 과제가 되었기 때문이다. 특히 공조는 피크성이 강한 수요이므로 공조용 전력을 야간으로 옮기는 작업의 이점이 큰 것은 당연하다. 비 수요시간대의 요금이 큰 폭으로 떨어짐으로써 수요자측에서 보아도 야간의 전력을 어떻게 활용할까하는 것은 매력적인 연구테마였다. 이리하여 축열공조가 관심을 불러 보급이 기도에 놓인 지 2O년 가까이 되었다. 처음에는 물을 사용한 축열이 대부분이었으나, 축열조 용량의 제약으로 얼음을 만들어 저장하는 빙축열방식이 도입되어 현재의 표준적인 축열방식이되었다. 그러나 빙축열에도 비용상의 문제가 있어 전면적인 보급에 이르기까지는 아직 연구의 여지가 더 남아있는 듯하다. 한편, 교토의정서의 발효 등에 의해 지구환경에 대한 관심이 높아지게 되었다. 이 같은 배경 속에 건물및 건축설비의 에너지절약 기술의 중요성이 대두되고, 특히 창 주변의 공조방식, 조광제어, 축열 공조시스템 등, 건물부하의 직접적인 저감과 전력부하 평준화에 의한 환경부하저감 및 운영비용의 저감을 목적으로 한 건물일체형 설비시스템을 적극적으로 도입하기에 이르렀다. 환경을 배려한 건축구조.설비시스템의 채택 사례가 증가하며 건축물 종합환경성능 평가시스템과 성능검증 등 건물설비의 평가.검증 수법도 연구되어 건물에 적합한 운용면에서의 사고가 중요함이 인식되었다. 이와 같이 건축구조와 설비시스템의 양면에서 에너지절약성 및 환경성, 쾌적성, 편리성의 추구가 적극적으로 도입되는 가운데, 슬래브축열시스템은 건축구조와 공조설비가 균형있게 융합됨으로써 초기비용의 삭감과 부하 평준화에 의한 경제성 향상, 복사에의한 실내환경의 향상 등의 효과를 기대할 수있는 시스템으로 추목받고 있다.

This paper investigates the thermal storage performance of the office building which has adopted an air conditioning system with its slab structure as a regenerator. Four cases of the thermal storage performance experiment were conducted. Room air temperatures, floor slab temperatures, temperatures around the air conditioning unit were logged and analyzed. The load handling capacity of the air conditioning unit and the amount of heat stored in the slab were decided from those experiments. Several efficiencies were investigated to evaluate the performance of the thermal storage. The results concluded that the slab as a regenerator is very effective in cutting down peak loads of the office building.

In this paper, the appropriate thermal storage time of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage was considered by use of summer measurement values. Two standards of heat extraction rate and criterion function were established as the standard that evaluates appropriateness. When heat extraction rate was a standard, zero hour and seven hours were obtained as appropriate thermal storage time, in the case of evaluation by energy consumption and running cost individually. Also, when criterion function was a standard, the difference between energy consumption and running cost was small, it was because the weight function to room air temperature deviation was much bigger than heat extraction rate.

In this paper, the optimal thermal storage time of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage in office building was analyzed on the basis of the gradient method algorithm. The sum of room temperature deviation and heat extraction rate was set to the criterion function. It was calculated that four hours is the optimal thermal storage time under the standard evaluation criterion. Furthermore, some case studies were executed by controlling ratio of weight functions of room temperature deviation and heat extraction rate in criterion function. It is possible to design many kinds of optimal operation of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage by controlling ratio of the weight functions in criterion function.

In this paper, the optimal bang-bang control problem of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage was formulated by gradient method. Furthermore, the numeric solution obtained by gradient method algorithm was compared with the analytic solution obtained on the basis of maximum principle. The control variable is changed uncontinuously at the start time of thermal storage operation in an analytic solution. On the other hand, it is showed as a continuous solution in a numeric solution. The numeric solution reproduces the analytic solution when a tolerance for convergence is applied severely. It is conceivable that gradient method is effective in the analysis of the optimal bang-bang control of the large-scale system like an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage.

In this paper, the sensitivity analysis was examined about the main factors that compose an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage by using the analytic solution. Those factors are the insulation performance of floor slab surface, the slab thickness, the heat capacity of floor slab, the air change rate, and the insulation performance of the wall. The slab thickness and heat capacity of floor slab that minimize heating loads was gained by sensitivity analysis. It is became clear that the insulation performance of slab surface, high airtightness and high heat insulation are important design factors in air conditioning system with slab thermal storage.

Generally, the reinforced concrete slab has great fire resistance performance because concrete has excellent thermal material properties under fire. But, in the case of hollow slab, it will be expected that hollow slabs have different temperature distribution and fire endurance performance compare to reinforced concrete slab. Because hollow slab has internal void space that occurs decreasing regenerative effect of concrete and formation of internal air layer. Evaluation method for fire resistance performance of hollow slabs was proposed using $wickstr{\ddot{o}}m^{\prime}s$ method. For the casual use of evaluation, simplified method was proposed which was limited to solid slab and donut type hollow slab which was developed by authors of this research paper. Also, verification on proposed method was performed by comparing results of fire experiment for hollow slab and evaluation results. Proposed method of the results of this study was possible to predict the residual strength and temperature distribution of slabs under fire.

In this paper, optimal control strategy of the air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage was investigated based on the optimal control theory. An optimal heat output to the plenum chamber and the air-conditioned room was determined based on two kinds of criterion functions. The first one requires small deviation in room air temperature from a set-point value and low energy consumption. It is shown that the optimized control is to store heat through the whole storage time and to increase storage rate gradually with time. As the second case, a criterion that both a deviation of operative temperature from a set-point temperature and the energy consumption should be minimized was adopted. The room air temperature was a little high and the cooling load during storage time was reduced, compared with the results when a criterion function considering only the room air temperature is used.

An optimal control of an air-conditioning system with slab thermal storage is investigated by making use of the Maximum Principle. An optimal heat input to a plenum chamber and an air-conditioned room is determined by minimizing a criterion function which is given as integral sum of two terms. The first term is the square of the deviation in the room air temperature from the set-point value, and the second is the absolute value of the heat input. The result indicates that it tries to keep a room air temperature in set-point value by heating as much as possible at the time of a setup of a room air temperature or just before that, in order to avoid a heat loss arising at the time of the non-air conditioning. The result is compared with that of the case when the square of the heat input is used as a criterion.
