  • Unlike other countries, Korea uses various kinds of wall-paper as finishing material. Conventional wall-paper consists of paper and vinyl, and petrochemical ink is used for the decoration of the surface. Adhesive is used to paste the wall with the wall-paper, which emit substantial amounts of VOCs and formaldehyde. In this study, VOCs characteristics emitted from specimens made of concrete, mortar, gypsum board and wall-paper were investigated using small chamber method. Moreover, concentration and emission factor of BTEX(Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m,p,o-Xylene) and TVOC were investigated, and concentration and emission factor decay were estimated. As a result of the prediction, both time-dependent concentration decay and cumulative concentration can be converted into the logarithmic scale. Furthermore, prediction equations were developed from the experimental results under accurately controlled experimental conditions. Therefore, there may be difference if the estimated equations are directly applied to real buildings. Further research should be done on the generalization of the developed prediction equations.

  • Recently, Energy savings in buildings has received much attention in response to the increased needs for global warming and better comforts of the occupants in apartment housing. This study proposes the method which uses the sun control window film to reduce the cooling load and heating load improving the thermal performance of the building and it improves an energy efficiency. The film which used in actual measurement has a low shading coefficient and a solar energy transmission. so we measured the surface temperature of the triple Low-e glazing system used and inside temperature according to the change of outside temperature and solar energy to study thermal performance evaluation. As a result, it was helpful to use window film insulation to reduce inside temperature in summer and to keep room warm in winter.

  • This paper suggests using the ICP (Iterative Closet Point) algorithm to compensate a two-dimensional map. ICP algorithm is a typical algorithm method using matching distance data. When building a two-dimensional map, using data through the value of a laser scanner, it occurred warping and distortion of a two-dimensional map because of the difference of distance from the value of the sensor. It uses the ICP algorithm in order to reduce any error of line. It validated the proposed method through experiment involving matching a two-dimensional map based reference data and measured the two-dimensional map.

  • Over the last several years, Korea has increasingly adopted design-build for public construction projects. There is a much greater awareness of the need to change to a system based on 'Value for Money', which is high on the government's agenda. A whole life performance bid evaluation model is proposed to aid decision makers in the selection of a design-builder. This is based on the integration of a framework using an analytic hierarchy process, as the bid awarding system is being changed from one based on the lowest price to one based on best value over the life-cycle. Key criteria such as whole life cost, service life planning and design quality are important through the key stages of the evaluation process. The model uses a systematic and holistic approach, which enables the public sector client to make better decisions in design-builder selection, which will deliver whole life benefits based on long-term cost-effectiveness.

  • Corrosion sensors were devised to develop a system whereby the depth of chloride permeation from concrete surfaces can be monitored in cover concrete of reinforced concrete structures. For making sensor which is similar to rebar author uses Screen printer machines, Ag paste and Fe powder. Appropriate portion of Ag and Fe is over 1:2. The resistance of sensors increased as the degree of corrosion increased. And according to cover depth author suggests sensor system which has a demanded cover depth. It was therefore confirmed that the corrosion sensor can monitor chloride permeation by change of resistance.

  • Green Frame is a column-beam system that uses composite precast concrete members. Previous studies have proven this system to be not only structurally safe, constructible, and economically feasible, but also environmentally-friendly. If the computerized program is used to estimate the quantity, the result of it shall be calculated much easily, quickly and exactly than manual estimation, because precast concrete members of Green Frame has standard size and connection method between it. Therefore, this study suggest quantity survey concept for column-beam structure comprised of composite precast concrete members. Hereafter, the quantity survey of Green Frame shall be much quickly and accurate, if the system would be made based on the result of this study.

  • This paper describes the classification problems of the unit modular housing through reviewing design drawings. Modular construction is a new industrialized homebuilding technology that uses large, factory produced modules. In general, more than 70% of construction processes in unit modular construction method are produced in factory after that the modular, which is completed is lifted on site and assembled. This research considers categorization in which the design drawing of the unit module housing can have problems. There are 17 types of construction method and 14 types of design approach as a result of the classification.

  • TMA clathrate that is used by PCM of ice storage system in this research creates hydrate crystallization at higher temperature than pure water, and application is expected as PCM because having comparative big dormant temperature without phase separation phenomenon. In case this research uses TMA clathrate by PCM, choose admixture by purpose to control or remove subcooling of TMA clathrate and evaluated experimentally. Subcooling is improved and can expect contraction of freezing machine running time and increase of coefficient of performance as that add admixture to TMA clathrate conclusively. Also, may supply thermal storage system that apply low temperature potential heat thermal storage material that subcooling is improved more extensively laying stress on medium size building and small size building, can expect allowance through localization of ice storage system.

  • The microwave sensor in which the sensitivity was excellent and a structure is simple was developed and it manufactured. And the sensing range that uses the developed product was confirmed. When the developed microwave sensor was set up in the ceiling of a building, we confirmed that the amplitude of the sensitive area increased as the tilting angle was enlarged. The sensitive area became a greatest in case the tilting angle was 65 degree. According to the height of a ceiling, because the sensing range is determined, in case of using in the building in which the height of a ceiling is enough secured it is determined to secure the more wide sensitive area. Moreover, the configuration of the circuit having the simple structure makes the miniaturization of a product, and the light weight possible. It is considered to have the price competitive power which it reduces the manufacturing cost, is sufficient.
