Exterior Insulation and Finishing System(EIFS) is recognized as a promising alternative for energy reduction as energy reduction ratio of apartment is to be increased from 40% to 60% in 2017. However, EIFS is not actively applied to apartment because additional construction costs and duration are required for the current existing construction method of EIFS. Therefore, this study proposes a conceptual framework for concurrent construction method of EIFS which can reduce construction costs and duration by working sequentially from frame work to exterior insulation finishing work, and then verify the method's feasibility by analyzing a case study. It has been proven from the analysis that concurrent construction method of EIFS reduces 6.7% of construction duration and 13% of construction costs compared with the conventional exiting method. The proposed method is expected to contribute to invigorated application of EIFS to apartment.

As a building energy saving standard strengthened, The number of building installed external thermal insulation composite system(ETICS) using EPS insulation increased. But frequent fire accident in the buildings installed EIFS using EPS led to strengthening of building fire safety regulation. This study is for fire property of EPS ETICS reinforced with noncombustible calcium silicate-based mineral insulation as a fire spread prevention structure(FSPS). Fire test for large scale wall by ISO 13785-2 was applied and results showed EPS EIFS with FSPS got 3~8 times superior fire safety than normal EIFS by visual investigation. Temperature and heat flux measurement results, which data of upside of specimen were lower than downside, also supported fire safety of EIFS with FSPS.

This research proposed a model for automatically monitoring the quality of insulation adhesive application in external insulation construction. Upon case implementation, the area segmentation model demonstrated a 92.3% accuracy, while the area and distance calculation accuracies of the proposed model were 98.8% and 96.7%, respectively. These findings suggest that the model can effectively prevent the most common insulation defect, insulation failure, while simultaneously minimizing the need for on-site supervisory personnel during external insulation construction. This, in turn, contributes to the enhancement of the external insulation system. Moving forward, we plan to gather construction images of various external insulation methods to refine the image segmentation model's performance and develop a model capable of automatically monitoring scenarios with a considerable number of insulation materials in the image.

In this study, thermal transmittance which is a parameter to measure the thermal performance was evaluated for an internal insulation versus an external insulation. Then the ISO regulation was applied to evaluate it, and the superiority of an external insulation was verified by the thermal transmittance values. The three zones of apartment housing were selected to evaluate the performance. (1) The junction of an outer wall and a protruded slab : If there is no a thermal bridge protection system, then the values are about same in the two insulation systems, so the protection system should certainly be installed. If it is installed, then the value for the external insulation is 2 times lower than internal system. (2) The junction of a side wall and a flat slab: The value is 0.509W/mK for the internal insulation and about zero for the external insulation. (3) The junction of an outer wall and a division wall: The value is 0.451W/mK for the internal insulation and also about zero for the external insulation. A domestic regulation that could evaluate a thermal transmittance has to be established by applying the ISO regulation for the evaluation of external insulation systems in apartment housing in the future. Additionally, the government must decide which length should be used for the national standard.

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.

The application of an adhesive calcium carbonate-based hybrid insulation board with quasi-combustibility in the external thermal insulation composite system(ETICS) ensures effective thermal performance and fire safety. This study aimed to conduct a mechanical test of the quasi-non-combustible hybrid insulation board as well as its constituent materials to obtain the basic data for the structural design of the adhesive ETICS. Test specimens were fabricated based on domestic and foreign test standards to examine and evaluate their tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear strengths. The strength characteristics of the quasi-non-combustible hybrid insulation board were identified from the test results, which verified that the minimum required physical properties suggested by the current KS M ISO 4898 were met. Furthermore, the quasi-non-combustible ETICS used in this study was found to be suitable for use as an external insulation system for walls unless subjected to continuous gravity load, such as a heavy exterior finish.

Fly ash has different chemical composition depending on the type and quality of flaming coal. Fly ash is classified according to carbon content and particle size. Waste glass powder is manufactured by crushing glass. Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) is generally applied by using poly-styrene foam which is economical and has excellent thermal insulation performance. However, poly-styrene foam has excellent insulation performance, but it is vulnerable to fire, which is becoming a serious problem. In this study, using a fly ash and waste glass powder to produce a finishing mortar at high temperatures. Also, High temperature strength and flame retardant properties were tested according to the cover thickness. From the test result, finishing mortar prepared using fly ash and waste glass powder is due to the improved heat resistance by alkali-activated bonding. However, since the strength decreases at high temperatures, it is necessary to select an appropriate mixing proportion.

The purpose of this research is to obtain experimental data for developing a structural design of an external insulation system by evaluating the shear performance of a composite insulation system according to the adhesive type. The shear performance of the composite insulation system was experimentally evaluated by considering a simultaneous placement method, full and spot/edge coverage using adhesive mortar. As a result of the test, the shear strength of simultaneous placement and full coverage method was almost similar, the spot/edge coverage method was about 80% of them. Also, the simultaneous placement method is considered to be constructively advantageous when applied as an external insulation system to a high-rise building compared to using an adhesive mortar.

In the case of fire, surface treatment agents used in external insulation finishing methods are substances that are vulnerable to fire due to thin finishes and the combustion of polymers. In this study, it was expected that the performance of surface preparation mortars could be improved by using expandable graphite with excellent thermal performance. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties of surf ace preparation mortar were improved by using the fly ash and silica fume. Surface treatment materials using expanded graphite have a characteristic of expanding when a fire occurs. It has been shown that heat-swellable surface treatment materials can reduce the penetration of heat sources into the surface of synthetic insulation.
