Recently, Indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most important problem in our daily life of modern societies. Mechanical ventilation system is being recommended as an effective method to improve IAQ in apartment houses. And then, in Korea, building industry should install ventilation system in apartment house by the building construction code. In this study, to improve IAQ caused by microbial and chemical contaminant such as bacteria and TVOC, three types of mechanical ventilation system of apartment house including HRV were simulated by multizone modeling. Simulation results suggest an appropriate and economical renovation method of apartment house ventilation system for reducing indoor air contamination.

With the rapid increase in the elderly population, numerous problems arise related to the decreased cognitive function such as the declines of reaction time and concentration which are both resulting from ageing. Recently, ICT-based smart home and other residential services are being developed as a means of complementing human cognitive functions, but the elderly, who are in most cases digital-illiterate, find it hard to utilize these tools actively and if so it usually takes longer time and endeavor for the elderly to be familiarized with ICT devices. In this context, this study suggests a configuration of the holographic system in houses that complement the cognitive function of the elderly with the consideration of the interaction with the vision which is a critical function in the cognitive process. The method of this study consists of a literature review on topics including the characteristics of the cognitive function among the elderly, holographic technology and residential services; a configuration of residential services for different space types, depending on the aspects of the cognitive function among the elderly; and finally a suggestion of a holographic system configuration and application depending on various scenarios.

The current housing performance rating system displays the performance rating of the houses supplied by the housing construction company, approved by the Housing Law. This system is intended to provide accurate information to the consumers in the announcement of the tenant recruitment, thereby improving the quality of the housing. This system was revised in January 2005 and implemented from January 2006. It is obligatory for companies with a scale of more than 1,000 households (energy performance rating is over 300 households), but there is currently no content on the waterproofing field. Therefore, this study suggests the revision plan proposes the necessity of the inclusion of the performance grade for the waterproofing field which is not currently implemented in the apartment house performance rating system, and to understand how to secure an adequate living environment. As a result, according to survey results, the performance score based on the difficulty of the maintenance method according to future leaks was selected and the revised system was prepared. Based on this, the performance grade for the virtual apartment was evaluated, and the results show that the performance of various grades is presented accordingly.

Since the 1950s, crime prevention was to figure out how dissident. Unlike traditional crime prevention was a point of view. Physical environment and a method to prevent crime, "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: CPTED)" is the prevention of crime, property crime, criminals and human right with the surrounding environment. These CPTED has a variety of factors. Natural surveillance of these is the most basic elements. Natural surveillance is monitored by monitoring the behavior of criminals, to prevent crime. CPTED was the large majority of existing studies focused on a study area. However, this study examined the area around a house. Made to secure the hypothesis of natural surveillance to affect fear of crime. Research on fear of crime and crime victimization declined. Thus, the securing of natural surveillance proved to be effective in crime prevention in this study.

Recently, construction companies prefer to use large scale system forms to prepare for lacking of skilled workers, aging and the chances of application of pre-build&post-sale policy. In result of the effort and interest, the duration for framework of domestic high rise buildings has been accomplished to 3-4days per floor but for the apartment housing which form over 90% of the domestic construction industry, and especially the middle story RC apartments which is the main part, the duration for framework is only about 6-8days per level. This is only about 50% of the duration per level of RC residential buildings in North America. In previous researches elementary technology, which has potential of duration reduction, was proposed and this research suggest the applicability in construction sites and ways to improve it using elementary technology applied Mock-up Test. Furthermore, we analyze the productivity and T/C usage rate of the 6day-Cycle and suggest an improved model.

This study examined the particulate removal performance of three different types of air filters inside a heat exchanger. Of interest was the ability of each filter type in reducing the transmission of outdoor particulate matter of PM10 from entering an apartment while the heat exchanger was in operation. The study tested one commonly used medium filter (E11 grade) and two HEPA filters (H13 grade) of different thicknesses. Two different concentrations of particulate matter were used in the experiment to address different ambient air quality conditions in Korea, 32.75 ㎍/㎥ and 67.26 ㎍/㎥. Study results indicated that under the particulate matter concentration of 32.75 ㎍/㎥, all three filters were capable of removing more than 95% of the fine dust. However at a particulate matter concentration of 67.26 ㎍/㎥, the medium E11 grade filter was only able to remove about 90% of the particulates whereas the HEPA H13 grade filters were able to remove 95% or more of the particulates. The thicker HEPA filter (40T) was also more effective in removing particulates than the thinner HEPA filter (20T) by about 1.6 to 3 percentage points. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that HEPA filters of 20T thickness or greater be used during the high air pollution seasons of winter and spring in Korea while medium filters can be used during the other seasons to reduce outdoor air pollution transmission indoors.

With increasing interest in the 4th industrial revolution, data-driven scientific methodologies have developed. However, there are limitations of data collection in the real estate field of research. In addition, as the public becomes more knowledgeable about the real estate market, the qualitative sentiment comes to play a bigger role in the real estate market. Therefore, we propose a method to collect quantitative data that reflects sentiment using text mining and k-means algorithms, rather than the existing source data, and to predict the direction of housing index through artificial neural network learning based on the collected data. Data from 2012 to 2019 is set as the training period and 2020 as the prediction period. It is expected that this study will contribute to the utilization of scientific methods such as artificial neural networks rather than the use of the classical methodology for real estate market participants in their decision making process.

The amount of soil cutting, transported, and filing up the soil in the project area is considered to change the volume depending on the condition of the soil; the volume change rate of the soil is calculated by collecting undisturbed samples below 1 m to 2.0 m above the surface through test pits. In this study, large-scale field tests are carried out. There are areas with an excavation depth of 10m or more, but some errors have occurred in calculating the soil volume by uniformly applying the soil conversion factor for a depth of 1 to 2 m. According to the field tests, the earthwork volumes applied with the soil conversion factor for each depth increase by 3.9 to 9.4% compared to the soil volume applied uniformly with that of 2 m depth.

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.

본 논문은 현행 전력기술 관리법에 의하여 시행되고 있는 전력시설물공사 감리제도의 제도개선에 관한 연구로서 연구자의 현장 실무경험과 감리제도의 일반사항, 감리업자와 감리원에 대한 사항, 감리업자 선정 및 입찰에 관한 사항을 조사하여 전력시설물공사 감리제도의 현황과 실태분석 및 개선방안을 제시한 내용으로 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 법적 및 제도적 측면에서 시급히 개선될 사항이다. 정부는 1995년 12월 법률 제5,132호로 전력기술관리법을 제정하여 전력시설물에 대한 공사감리 업무를 별도 분리 발주하여 전문성을 높이도록 전기 분야 전문기술자에 의해 수행토록 하는 것을 골자로 하는 책임 감리제도를 도입하여 오늘에 이르고 있다. 그러나 공사 준골단계에서 전기사업법 제98조 2항에 의해 위탁업무를 하고 있는 전기 안전공사가 사용전 검사를 함으로서 책임 감리제도의 도입 취지를 무색케 한 정도로 심각한 국면에 접어들었다. 전력기술관리법이 제정되어 13년이 지난 오늘까지도 책임 감리제도가 성공적으로 정착되지 못한 근본적인 문제는 사용전 검사를 전기 안전공사에서 대행하고 있다는 것이다. 물론 그동안의 많은 노력으로 어느 정도의 개선은 있었지만 근본적인 문제가 해결되지 않고서는 전력시설물공사의 감리기술의 전문화를 기대하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 책임 감리계도의 성공적인 정착을 위해서는 전기사업법 제98조 2항에 의한 위탁 업무인 사용전 감사 제도를 감리업자에게 돌려줌으로서 책임과 권한을 실질적으로 부여하고 감리회사 자체의 기술력 및 기술자 확보와 기술개발에 필요한 운영자금 및 투자 확대를 유도해 나가야 하며, 무엇보다도 확실한 법적 제도적 뒤받침이 선행되어야 한다. 둘째, 제도적 측면에서 일반건축물은 사업주가 전력시설물공사 감리업자를 임의선정 및 수의계약에 의해 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간동안 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있어 인건비에 미치지 못하는 저가수주와 다음계약을 위해 어쩔 수 없이 사업주에게 종속되는 경우가 많으며, 이로 인해 감리수행에 혼란이 야기되고 책임소재의 불분명 책임 감리원의 조정 및 통제기능이 약화되는 부작용이 나타나고 있다. 전력시설물공사의 감리는 전력시설물의 안전사고, 비효율 및 부실소지 둥을 방지하기 위해서 필수적이고 발주자 감리업자 시공업체에게 모두 도움을 주는 업무이며, 일정규모이상의 건축물은 자발적인 참여로 유도할 수 있도록 적격심사제도(PQ심사)도입이 적극 필요한 실정이다. 셋째, 운용측면에서 공동주택의 주택법에 의한 전력시설물공사 감리는 사업승인권자가 사업수행능력 평가기준(PQ 심사)에 따라 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간 동안에 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있으나 평가기준이 세대수에 따라 정해져 있어 효율적, 기술적 측면에 미치지 못하는 경우가 많다. 수준 높은 감리를 수행하려면 그에 맞는 적정한 감리원의 투입이 필수적이다. 넷째, 운용 및 제도적 측면에서 공공발주 건축물(공동주택 포함)의 전력시설물공사는 사업수행능력 평가기준(PQ 심사)에 따라 감리업자를 지정하고 해당 공사기간 동안에 전기 감리원을 투입토록 되어 있으나 발주자 소속직원의 감리수행 근거에 의해 자체 감리를 함으로서 시장경쟁 및 민간경제 활성화의 제약, 부정부패 및 비효율 등 사회에 전반적으로 악영향을 끼쳐 하루 빨리 민간 감리업자에게로의 개선이 시급한 실정이다.
