  • BIPV system that can alternate building envelope by making materials of PV module should be considered in initial design step for applying PV system efficiently in office building. Mean while, area of the building skin also increases as the number of floors increases, but the valid area that can apply BIPV system in effect decreases relatively. Despite of this weak point, installing BIPV system is still being evaluated as the only measure left that can reduce electronic energy consumption in the building. Therefore, the impact on building energy consumption according to the increase of the number of floors when BIPV system is applied in the building was analyzed. And it will be used as basic information for application of BIPV in office building. Conomic about application of BIPV is interpreted to be secured within the 10 story high. Forover the 11 floors, the methods of increasing the contribution ratio produced by BIPV system through the optimization of install angle and increase in install area of south, high efficiency should be considered. The ways to reduce basic load by integrated design with another renewable energy besides BIPV should be found. Later, the study on the total building energy comsumption with PV generation according to the various type of the basic load and ratio of the width and depth will be performed based on this study.

  • The application of Photovoltaic (PV) power in the building sector, is expanding as part of the ongoing energy transition into renewables. The article addresses the question of sustainability of energy generated from PVs through an environmental assessment of a building-integrated PV system (BIPV) connected to the grid through net metering. Employing retrospective life cycle analysis (LCA), with the CCaLC2 software and ecoinvent data, the article shows that the carrying structure and other balance of system (BOS) components are responsible for a three times higher energy payback time than the literature average. However, total environmental impact can be lowered through reuse or reinstallation of PVs on the same building structure after the 30-year interval. Further ways to improve environmental efficiency include identifying the most polluting materials for each LCA parameter. The results of this study are of interest to researchers and producers of PVs and organizations investing and promoting decentralized power production through PVs.

  • Unlike the previous approaches, we analyzed for economic efficiency of renewed heating and cooling systems as the characteristics of space. The purpose of this study is to analysis the energy consumption and economical efficiency of absorption chillers and EHP systems in renovated library. It is important that equipment selection should be considering energy cost as well as space program. In recently, many EHP systems were installed in the building for reducing the energy cost and for seeking the convenience of individual control. In contrast, though absorption chillers have the disadvantage of a central control, absorption chillers are appropriate for the conditions of the library that needs simultaneous operation. The results by payback period method, show that selection of heating and cooling systems should be consider for space program and the characteristics of space.

  • This study examined the energy performance according to the main design parameters of a solar water heating system for an office building using the life cycle cost (LCC) optimization simulations. The LCC optimization simulations of the system were conducted with TRNSYS and GenOpt employing the Hooke-Jeeves algorithm for cases where water temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. The results showed that for water temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ the global radiation incident on the collector could be decreased by 16.98% and 28.52%, collector useful energy gain could be decreased by 15.04% and 22.59%, energy to load from storage tank could be decreased by 10.86% and 18.06% and AH energy to load could be increased by 16.86% and 38.50% respectively compared to a non-optimized system. The annual average collection efficiency of the collector was increased by 0.88% for $60^{\circ}C$ and 2.78% for $50^{\circ}C$ because of increase of collector slope and decrease of the mass flow rate per collector area. The annual average efficiency of the system was increased by 1.74% and 3.47% compared to the basis system. However, the annual solar fraction of the system was decreased by 6.68% for $60^{\circ}C$ and 11.26% for $50^{\circ}C$ due to decrease of collector area and storage tank volume.

  • In this paper, in order to maximize the input process efficiency of the building energy simulation field, the authors developed the automatic extraction module of spatial information based BIM geometry information. Existing research or software extracts geometry information based on object information, but it can not be used in the field of energy simulation because it is inconsistent with the geometry information of the object constituting the thermal zone of the actual building model. Especially, IFC-based geometry information extraction module is needed to link with other architectural fields from the viewpoint of reuse of building information. The study method is as follows. (1) Grasp the category and attribute information to be extracted for energy simulation and Analyze the IFC structure based on spatial information (2) Design the algorithm for extracting and reprocessing information for energy simulation from IFC file (use programming language Phython) (3) Develop the module that generates a geometry information database based on spatial information using reprocessed information (4) Verify the accuracy of the development module. In this paper, the reprocessed information can be directly used for energy simulation and it can be widely used regardless of the kind of energy simulation software because it is provided in database format. Therefore, it is expected that the energy simulation process efficiency in actual practice can be maximized.

  • Today, the need for alternative energy has increased due to the global environmental problems and energy depletion. In order to solve a global environmental matter and an energy issue simultaneously, the application of the renewable energies in building has been constantly demanded. therefore, we must develop new energy resources that are abundant and provide substitutes for fossil fuels and we must study the application method of the renewable energies in building. Among renewable energies, the solar energy(photovoltaic system) is clean, inexhaustible, and available everywhere in the world and is judged to have the application possibility in building. Daegu city has a plan of putting a photovoltaic system on large buildings. For instance, EXCO, exhibition and convention building, and dormitory in Kyungpook National University, Dongho elementary school, Osan building in Keimyung University, Young korea academy in Daegu, are on the process of having a photovoltaic system. Therefore a study on the performance of photovoltaic system is important for the system design and maintenance. this paper describes the first invest cost, and performance test of the 95kW utility-interactive photovoltaic power system.

  • Building deterioration reflects the degradation of basic building performance including structural performance, energy performance, durability, and safety, and it also includes perceived deterioration, which considers a user-based perspective. More than 50% of the existing buildings in Korea are over 15 years old and public buildings compose 2.5% of all buildings domestically. Therefore, there are several different problems, such as poor energy efficiency, structural performance, and safety. To address the challenges of increasing stock in deteriorated buildings, it is necessary to make decisions about reconstruction or renovation. In this study, we propose a new method to evaluate public building value with a contingent valuation method (CVM). By estimating willing-to-pay (WTP) from users of private buildings in similar situation with the public building, it is possible to compare market prices and calculate a correction factor to adjust the WTP data. Finally, we apply the correction factor to the WTP of a public building and estimate market price, willingness to pay (WTP). Finally, we apply the correction factor to willing to pay (WTP) of public building and estimate market price.
