Eco-friendly architecture, generally speaking, is considered as the activity of planting more and designing ponds, therefore many clients and constructors prefer to avoid building so due to initial construction costs. This paper aims to examine the cognition of environmental equipment systems and the applicability of echo-friendly building constructions. We examined the designer's demands of building equipment systems and eco-friendly environment and tried to deduce desirable suggestions for the system. We should solve the fundamentals of economical problems in the construction of eco-friendly buildings and we better think that government should make it a policy to advertise it and to reform the taxation system regarding environment friendly buildings.

The concept of base isolation for equipment is well known. Its application in buildings and structures is rather challenging. Introduction of horizontal flexibility at the base helps in proper energy dissipation at the base level thus reducing the seismic demand of the super structure to be considered during design. The present study shows the results of a series of numerical simulation studies on seismic responses of secondary system (SS) housed in non-isolated and base-isolated primary structures (PS) including equipment-structure interactions. For this study the primary structure consists of two similar single bay three-store reinforced cement concrete (RCC) Frame building, one non-isolated with conventional foundation and another base isolated with Lead plug bearings (LPB) constructed at IIT Guwahati, while the secondary system is modeled as a steel frame. Time period of the base isolated building is higher than the fixed building. Due to the presence of isolator, Acceleration response is significantly reduced in both (X and Y) direction of Building. It have been found that when compared to fixed base building, the base isolated building gives better performance in high seismic prone areas.

Optimized capacity of equipments are essential for energy saving and low cost construction and operation. So we must use proper design data for HVAC system design. We investigated for architectural data, equipment capacity, cooling and heating load design criteria of 52 office buildings. Following research results were obtained by carrying out each task. Office building effective area rate is 63%. The average building cooling load of South Korea is $140W/m^2$ and average heating loads in Seoul and Pusan area are $120{\sim}130W/m^2$ and $70{\sim}80W/m^2$. We also analysised HVAC design criteria. Person ratio in effective building area is $0.2person/m^2$, sensitive and latent heat loads of a person are 60W and 65W, light and equipment loads of office buildings are $25W/m^2$ and $20W/m^2$.

In this study, moist curing equipment was used in the exist gang-form system. By achieving sufficient spray curing, the quality of the concrete was improved and the cracking occurred in building's side wall was decreased. The following results could be made as the conclusion. For the compressive strength, all zones showed the similar results. Comparing with the zone without using moist curing equipment, the zone used moist curing equipment showed higher rebound hardness results. For the cracking, the zone utilized moist curing equipment showed the cracking averaged as 6.6 m and the zone without using moist curing equipment showed the cracking averaged as 10.3m. The effectof reducing cracking by utilizing moist curing equipment is about 36 %. Using moist curing equipment is considered as a good solution to reduce the cracking in the structure. Considering all the factors analysed, using moist curing equipment improved the quality of the concrete and decreased the cracking. When this equipment was used in the construction site, it is expected that the construction periodcan be shrunk and the ratio of defect caused by drying shrinkage can be decreased. In this research conditions, The 0.3mm sized moist curing equipment provided the most desirable results on concrete quality and preventing cracking.

A data center stores and manages internet data. The data center is mainly comprised of IT equipment, cooling systems, and other components. IT equipment is used for storing and processing internet data, generating heat during use. If the heat generated by IT equipment is not removed, it can cause malfunctions, and cooling systems are used to remove this heat. Cooling systems account for more than 40% of the total energy consumption and reducing cooling energy can reduce the overall energy consumption of the data center. Therefore, analyzing the cooling energy consumption according to heat generation changes caused by IT equipment in the data center is necessary. This study analyzed the impact of heat generation changes in IT equipment on cooling energy consumption. Additionally, three different economizer control methods were applied to select the optimal economizer control method. To achieve this, a data center model with economizer systems applied was developed using data measured from IT equipment and cooling systems. As a result, as the operation rates of IT equipment increased from minimum to maximum, the annual energy consumption for each case increased by approximately 11.7%. The economizer analysis showed that the energy savings were greatest when dry bulb temperature control was applied, but it did not meet the operation environment of the IT equipment. Therefore, it was determined that economizer control to meet the operation environment of IT equipment is required to be enthalpy-based.

Recently, our construction industry progress using the BIM system in the construction designing part. However, there are not preparing government policy about BIM even if there are many good things using BIM system on planning of heavy equipment. Therefore, planning for a input system of heavy equipment using BIM will be a kind of first challenge in this part. However, we've tried using strength point of BIM system to make better condition of our construction fields. So this study will be expected to shorten the construction time and using heavy equipment effectively.
