This study examines visual perception and spatial satisfaction according to lighting conditions. Field measurements and surveys were performed in three rest space of university buildings where various lighting conditions were employed. Results indicate that overall impression of space improved when low color temperature, such as 3,000 K governed overall lighting environment and accent lighting was used for wall surfaces. Lighting conditions that kept uniform illuminance levels using area light sources containing fluorescent lamps with 6,500 K failed to keep favorable spatial satisfaction for space. High color temperature was not recommended for lighting in rest space. Asymmetrical illuminance levels formed by low color temperature such as 3000 K is recommended to keep positive mood and improve spatial satisfaction in rest space. Overall impression of the space was influenced by visual comfort, color temperature, spatial satisfaction and brightness. Spatial satisfaction for space was effectively impacted by psychological comfort, color temperature and overall impression for lighting conditions. Psychological comfort in space was influenced by color temperature, spatial satisfaction and visual annoyance from reflected light.

자동차를 이용하는 시간이 늘어남에 따라 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 그러나 아직까진 실제 자동차 중에서 공조시스템의 냉방성능은 자동차 제조사별로 온열쾌적성 지표를 통해 평가되지 않고, 실내의 공기 속도와 온도 등 열환경 기준에 의해 평가되고 있다. 또한 차 실내의 온열쾌적성을 수치해석으로 평가하는 경우 타당한 결과를 도출할 수 있는 수치기법에 대한 기준이 확립되지 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 외부 열원을 모사하기 위하여 태양광선 추적모델을 사용하고, 공조시스템 작동 후 20 분까지 다양한 매개변수(공조시스템의 작동모드와 작동풍량, 인체모델 탑승조건)에 대한 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 자동차 실내의 온열쾌적성 지표를 예측할 수 있는 평가모델을 도출하였다.

Attention plays vital role either students academic performance in classroom or work performance of workers. This study was accomplished among elementary school students of elementary school classroom for two years. Three experiment cases were designed based on the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) indexes. Thermal environment and PMV were directly monitored; Thermal Sensation Vote (TSV) and Comfort Sensation Vote (CSV) were analyzed based on survey data; and attention was analyzed for different comfort level using FAIR program. PMV, TSV and CSV were varied with the change in thermal environment and there was not noticeable gender influence on impact. The good correlation between thermal environment, PMV, TSV and CSV confirmed the impact of thermal environment on indoor comfort. There were different impacts on attention with comfort conditions. Academic attention of low attention group i.e. weak students, can be improved by providing the comfort environment. Thermal environment influences the comfort and the comfort influences the attention, it is possible to assess the impact of thermal environment on attention in further.

열 쾌적 제어는 실내 환경의 질을 나타내는 기본 요소로써 건물에서 사용되는 에너지와 거주자의 만족도에 매우 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내의 쾌적 상태(Predictive Mean Vote)를 검출하고, 목표 소비 전력 내에서 냉난방 온도, 습도, 풍량을 제어함으로써 에너지를 절감하고 근무자에게 쾌적한 환경을 제공할 수 있는 스마트 쾌적 제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 열 쾌적 제어에 의한 냉난방제어는 기존의 일반 냉난방기에 비해서 실내의 쾌적도는 그대로 유지한 상태에서 0.5kW의 전력을 절감할 수 있고, 조명제어 알고리즘이 적용된 조명 제어에 의해서 49.2%의 조명 개선 효과가 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 검증된 쾌적 제어 알고리즘을 기존의 냉난방기에 적용할 경우 쾌적도는 유지하고 에너지는 절감할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The study was carried out through measuring the temperature and humidity of the indoor/outdoor space and the distribution of interior thermal condition, and investigating the effect of loess materials on human body. The purpose of this study is to analyze the change of dry bulb temperature and relative humidity and correlation of thermal reaction of human body with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning) comfort chart in the loess interior space. In the view point of biomedical sciences, loess interior space provides optimum thermal conditions for human thermal sensation.

This study examined the wearing conditions of working clothes of shipbuilding industry workers according to the working environmental factors and working process features. It was also investigated the relationship between the wearing sense of working clothes and the overall comfort according to work processes. In the working process of shipbuilding industry, the process of fitting, welding, grinding and painting were chosen by considering work environmental factors, disaster types, hazardous materials, work process features, working clothes and safety equipments of each work categorized. The workers of fitting process usually wore the standard working clothes, while more than 60% of the workers of welding, grinding and painting wore the specialized protective clothes. The hazardous work environmental factors such as noise, heavy dust, high temperature and noxious fumes affected to the workers of fitting, welding and grinding. However, the workers of painting were greatly damaged by organic solvent. The dissatisfaction with the wearing performance of working clothes was highly shown in the sweat absorbency, moisture permeability and body protection. In respect of the correlation between the overall comfort and the wearing sense of working clothes, the satisfaction was decreased in orders of movement comfort> sensual comfort> physiological comfort.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comfort of PET clothing treated by UV. The physiological responses of the human body were investigated. Mean skin temperature and physiological signals such as Electroencephalogram (EEG), and heart rate (Electrocardiogram, (ECG)) were examined for 20 minutes during stable wearing conditions. Mean skin temperature was measured every two seconds using Ramanathan's method. Physiological responses were measured using Biopac MP100 series and analyzed using the software, Acqknowledge 3.5.2. Psychological effects were analyzed every five minutes. Comfort of untreated PET clothing decreased with the passage of time. Compared with PET clothing untreated, treated for 30 minutes, and treated for 90 minutes, the analysis of EEG showed that PET clothing treated for 90 minutes was the most comfortable after 20 minutes. In addition, the interval of the heart rate shown on the ECG was the highest in PET clothing treated for 90 minutes. Skin temperature was the lowest in PET treated for 90 minutes. We thus conclude that suitable UV irradiation would improve comfort.

In this paper, a personal air-conditioning system considering the human thermal adaptability is analyzed. Although the conventional personal air-conditioner was proofed to be satisfactory in providing for the thermal comfort, it is being questioned on the term of its energy efficiency. Therefore, it is important and urgent to develop new types of personal air-conditioning system with sustainable control strategy that can ensure energy saving and thermal comfort simultaneously. In this study, we first examined the problems of the conventional personal air-conditioning system with field interview and laboratory experiment in terms of usage, management and thermal comfort, and proposed the energy-saving personal air-conditioning system considering the human thermal adaptation. Then a laboratory experiment was performed to analyze the characteristics of the human thermal comfort under severe indoor thermal conditions, which were controlled using a new personal air-conditioning unit designed according to the proposal. The results help to illustrate the alleviation effect of the new personal air-conditioning system, and indicate that the thermal alleviation time is useful to maintain the thermal comfort with efficient usage of energy.

The aim of the research was to evaluate the characteristics of thermal environment and thermal comfort in the Dry Double floors Hydronic Ondol System. Physical indoor thermal environments (the floor surface temperature, the vertical temperature, etc.) and skin temperature have especially been measured. Physical features conditions, sensation, thermal comfort, humidity sensation, comfort of body were investigated for the survey. As a result, (1) During the operation of the boiler (12 hour), the average indoor temperature is appeared to be $21.6^{\circ}C$. The floor surface temperature showed peak value of $31.4{\sim}40.6^{\circ}C$ after 8hours 30minutes after the start-point of the heating. The vertical difference of temperature was turned out to be not uniform. (2) While the skin temperature showed a narrow distribution of temperature in the Dry Double floors Hydronic Ondol system. (3) The response to thermal comfort which people felt was satisfactory, and most of them felt dry during the test.
