Purpose: The balcony in the apartment is important space not only as a fire escape but also as a buffer for heat and sound insulation. However, with the legalization of balcony expansion for residential apartments in Korea in 2006, many households have eliminated the balcony space altogether to increase the inner space, often without sufficient consideration for the effects on the indoor environment. This study examined the sound insulation performance of exterior-facing windows in enclosed balconies and the changes in the indoor acoustic environment due to expansion to provide a basis for appropriate balcony expansion. The apartments for the field test were chosen where two balcony types can be compared, and the sound insulation performance for the eighteen balcony windows was measured. The windows installed were typical double window with thickness 16 mm or 22 mm. Measurements of the weighted standard sound pressure level difference showed a decrease of about 3 dB in sound insulation performance due to expansion. For common exterior noise levels of 70-85 dB(A), the indoor noise level can exceed 45 dB(A), the limit level regulated in Korea. However, it was found that the sound insulation performance of the window and the quality of the construction have more influence on indoor noise levels than balcony expansion itself.

Because international environmental and energy problems such as global warming and ozone depletion, exhausting of fossil energy sources are more serious than before, renewable energy system is attracting people's attention more and more. Organic waste bioenergy system among a variety of renewable energy system is expected to have an effect on building a society which is eco-friendly and recycles resources owing to carbon neutral effects. So this is considered as the role of an energy source of the building. Previous studies on the organic waste bioenergy are mainly bioenergy technology and activation plan of the bioenergy supply. But the performance evaluation studies of bioenergy systems installed in buildings are rarely. This study is to evaluate applicability of the organic waste bioenergy system as the building energy supply system by energy and environmental, economical analysis.

There have been many cases that the air curtain installed in the apartment can not well remove the gases such as carbon dioxide and particles such as smokes, oils and vapors generated during the cooking to disperse the pollutants into the room. This study uses the numerical analysis to show how the pollutant-removing performance of the range hood is changed when the air curtain is installed on the range hood of kitchen. As a result of the study, it turned out that, when the air amount supplied by air curtain through the slot was about 60% of exhaust amount, the capturing efficiency of range hood for pollutants increased by 70~80% more than the case without the air curtain. Even when the exhaust amount was small, the capturing efficiency was improved a lot with the use of air curtain. In case that the air flow velocity of slot was greater than 2 m/s, the capturing efficiency turned out to decrease.

We studied the risk analysis of fire and explosion caused by gas leak in underground-parking of gas vehicle. However, an entrance regulation of gas vehicles (H2/LPG/CNG etc.) to underground garages has not been enacted in Korea. Incase, a gas explodes in an underground parking garage placed in overcrowded residential area, such as an apartment, the scale of the damage would cause tremendous disaster. Faults of vehicle parts and management problems were evaluated by using the Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), which is a qualitative analysis method. The range of the damaged area by the explosion and the damage scale by the explosion pressure were analyzed by using the process hazard analysis software tool (PHAST). The study is expected to facilitate enactment of the regulation for the underground parking to restrict the gas vehicle.

The purpose of this study is to present the direction of the plan to transform the residential complex into a space that can provide an open residential environment that can lead to social communication and exchange without being closed to the urban residential environment, especially in the apartment complex environment, which is becoming more dense. As a result of the Openness analysis of the 'Codan Shinonome Canal Court', the overall accessibility was good in terms of space utilization, and the openness was low in terms of the spatial composition, which is a physical environment due to the dense block type. When looking at the overall openness of the Codan Sinonome complex in terms of analysis by block, the corrected openness index (C.O.I) for all six blocks was 0.245, the corrected accessibility index (C.A.I) was 1.447 and the openness composite index (O.C.I) was assessed at 1.692. This was due to the formation of high-density block-type urban dwellings and the introduction of S-shaped streets and the layout of low-rise urban support facilities and commercial facilities. The Codan Sinonome Canal Court, which is considered an "open city residence," quantitatively confirmed that it embodies macro-space structure and human-scale space environment even in high-precision environments.

배관 내에 유체가 흐를 때 사용되는 유체의 물리 화학적 성질에 따라 배관재질이 선택이 결정된다. 수계소화설비에 사용하는 유체는 대부분 물을 사용하므로 물속에 용해된 각종 이물질들은 관 벽에 스케일을 발생시키고 부식 및 배관 노후화를 촉진하여 마찰손실을 증가시켜 펌프의 효율을 저하시킨다. 이러한 요인을 가져오는 강관의 대체가능한 CPVC 배관은 부식에 강하고, 매끄러운 조도를 가지고 있어서 유체이송능력이 뛰어나고 배관무게가 가볍고 접착제결합 방식의 배관작업으로 시공성이 우수한 점을 들 수 있다. 그래서 설계 및 시공단계에서 마찰손실을 줄이기 위해 Hazen-Williams식을 CPVC(Chlorinated Poly-Vinyl Chloride)배관에 적용하여 조도계수에 따라 마찰손실을 조사하였다. 실제 아파트 현장에서의 적용사례를 통해 조도계수의 차이에 따라 손실수두를 조사한 결과 조도계수의 수치가 120인 강관일 때 마찰손실은 76.64MPa이고 150인 CPVC배관일 때 마찰손실은 50.72 MPa로서 34% 정도의 마찰손실이 개선되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 시공비 절감차원에서는 강관으로 시공할 때 1,585,158원이고 CPVC배관으로 시공 시에는 931,842원으로 41%정도의 시공비가 절감되는 것을 확인하여 전체 설비용량의 감소로 인한 소화시스템의 안정성 향상 및 시공비를 절감할 수 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

지진의 2차사고 중 화재 및 가스 폭발에 의한 사고는 아파트형 주거 형태와 대형 복합화 된 건물이 많은 도시 일수록 인명피해의 우려가 커지게 되고, 이를 방지하기 위하여 화재 방호 계통 스프링클러 시스템의 경우 내진 설계가 필수적으로 수행되어야 한다. 하지만 현재 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 화재 방호 계통 스프링클러 시스템 배관은 대부분 스테인리스 계열의 금속 파이프를 사용하고 있고 일부 특수 위치에서 합성수지 계열의 파이프를 사용하고 있어 진동 및 지진 등에 취약한 소재가 적용되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene, 이하 : PE)과 알루미늄(Aluminum, 이하 : Al)의 다층구조 복합관이 보유한 변위 흡수 유연성이 진동 환경과 지진 발생에 대한 내진 성능을 상승 시키는 특성으로 판단하였고, PE-Al-PE 복합관을 기존 스테인리스 관, PE관과 비교하여 내진 성능을 실험 하였다. 내진 특성은 스프링클러 파이프가 전달하는 진동의 양과 범위를 측정하면 진동에 대한 흡수 정도를 알 수 있고 이는 지진에 대하여 대상체가 자체적으로 진동을 감쇠하는 내진 특성 판단의 방법으로 횡 형 진동 측정법으로 발생한 진동의 최초 응답 변위에 대한 대수 감쇠율을 비교하여 파이프의 내진 특성을 확인하였다.

The pipes used in buildings are generally categorized into metallic or plastic materials. Metal pipes, such as copper and stainless steel pipes, are mainly used for water and hot water supply, and for the heating system. However, plastic pipes made of polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene are used for floor heating, water drainage, and air vent systems. Usually, plastic pipes have thermal demerits, such as high linear expansion coefficients and bending phenomenon by hot water, although the pipes have several merits of light weight, low price, low thermal conductivity, and the comparatively high workability of metal pipes. Therefore, if those kind of demerits are overcome, plastic pipes can be easily accepted for hot water systems. This research is aimed to evaluate the applicability for vertical heating pipes of a plastic pipe system consisting of electric fusion fitting of a conductive carbon compound and propylene random glass fiber pipe, through measurement of the expansion rate and leakage in summer and winter seasons, in the apartment construction field.

When oil is used for cooking in detached or apartment houses, large amounts of oil-mist, smoke, and particulate substances are generated and dispersed into the indoor-air environment. These pollutants diffuse into the surroundings and spread their odor while rising fast at a high temperature due to the heat energy from the gas range. Although the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust hood, which is installed on the top of a gas range to remove the diffuse pollutants, the exhaust conditions can vary greatly because they depend on the shape of the exhaust hood and the discharge rate. In this paper, the air that is required for the gas-exhaustion process is supplied by an air curtain that surrounds the kitchen hood, and the pollutant-capturing efficiency varies depending on the angle of the discharge grills; the pollutant-capturing efficiency was studied using a numerical-analysis method. The results indicate that the pollutant-capturing efficiency is not significantly changed by a change of the discharge-grill angle at a low air-discharge rate; however, at a high air-discharge rate, the efficiency value increases with an increase of the discharge-grill angle, whereby the best value occurs at 30 degrees and the efficiency decreases above this angle. Below 30 degrees, the effect of the discharge rate on the capturing efficiency is more than that of the discharge-grill angle.
