This research is an experimental study on BIPV Power performance of See-through a-si and Light-through applying external curtain wall. In case of See-through a-si Photovoltaic, appropriateness of facade applying standard($950\;{\times}\;980mm$) large($950\;{\times}\;1960mm$)area photovoltaic was examined. Transparent performance was also investigated through Power simulation according to angles and seasons of See-through a-si and Light-through Photovoltaic so that Power output was surveyed with using designed and manufactured Mock-up. When comparing See-through a-si to Light-through Photovoltaic for simulation Power output on angles based on full south aspect, which the result was that See-through a-si Power output according to Light-through Power output was the highest of 65.5% when applying a 90 degree angle. Monthly accumulated average Power output during winter seasons (December, January and February) applying a vertical plane on full south aspect was analyzed, which results in 66.37W/h of See-through a-si and 139.1 W/h of Light-through. See-through a-si Power output showed 47.7% in comparison with Light-through transparent. Also monthly, hourly average Power efficiency according to solar radiation during winter seasons (December, January and February) was that 4.7% of See-Through a-si and 9.8% of Light-through.

The number of high-rise buildings has increased year after year, with there currently being 5 projects in progress to construct buildings higher than 100 stories in Seoul alone. The construction cost for such high-rise buildings is significantly higher than the cost for a conventional low-rise building, while maintenance costs are expected to be two to three times higher. To reduce the maintenance cost of a high-rise building, there is the need for a guide rail to be used for maintenance, which is why there is the need for research on the guide rail system. For this reason, as preliminary research to develop a guide rail, this study aims to derive the factors increasing construction cost by taking the installation of a guide rail into account. This is expected to lay the groundwork for the design and construction of guide rails for high-rise building maintenance.

This study has been conducted to describe the establishment of national measures to reduce world energy consumption and $CO_2$ Emission. Particularly, Reductions in energy consumption from building operation is the most important part to achieve these national objectives. Element to evaluate the quantitative effects of these systems by having rationalized regulation and operation is essential, when planning for building energy reduction design. USGBC(US Green Building Council) have operated sustainable assessment method called LEED, which introduces baseline performance and evaluation direction for building simulation techniques. This research analyzed Quantitative assessments of the building energy consumption and analyzed baseline figures to provide comparative analysis with standard building settings.

The construction of high-rise buildings is increased. The Vertical Member of tall buildings is inherently shortened and it causes several seriously problems such as tilting of slab, crack within partition wall, deformation of curtain wall. This also affects structural stability by inducing unexpected stress to the structural members such as outrigger. In this study, the column shortening according to revised field information and to compare the analysis results the actual field measurement. Pusan The $\#$, a 51-story apartment building which is currently under construction was chosen for the case study.

In recent years, the number of high-rise buildings has been on the rise. As buildings have become larger in scale, significantly different issues related to their construction and maintenance have emerged. In addition, the automation and mechanization of the cleaning work for the curtain wall, one of the most frequently-performed tasks in building maintenance, is required as a fundamental measure. For this reason, a guide-rail type cleaning robot system is emerging as one of the measures in response to external factors, including gust. The major objective of this study is to propose an economic feasibility forecasting model and to apply the a building facade cleaning robot which is now under development.

Purpose of this study is to suggest the directions for development of a transportation and procurement system for JIT management of curtain walls. First, this study looks over the concept of JIT, and grasps the characteristics of the material and the problems of logistics in the construction field through the field and literature survey. And then, it develops countermeasures for the problems and with this, it suggests the directions for development of a transportation and procurement system for JIT management.

The purpose of this study was to provide the fundamental data for the effective housing remodeling plan. Through the questionnaire survey, the actual conditions of remodeling in apartment housing were investigated. And as the result of statistic analysis, the relationships between characteristics of remodeling and building life-cycle, and family life-stage, were found out. The major findings of this study are as follows; 1) Most of apartment residents have remodeled the family living space and private living space. In detail, they performed remodeling frequently the change of finishing materials, facilities and equipments, and the change of the location of curtain wall ＆ storage fixtures. 2) It might be predicted that the building life-cycle was influential variable to predict apartment residents' remodeling. Therefore, in planning the support service for the remodeling, the building life-cycle should be taken into consideration.

Recently residential buildings are characterized with high-rise and high density. Under this circumstance, achieving comfortable and healthy indoor environment with minimized energy consumption becomes a very challenging engineering and societal issue. Along this the increased size and transparency of window as well as light surface caused by high stories lowers the heat shield efficiency of building. Since glass that constitutes building surface has low heat efficiency, it aggravates heat loss of all building considerably, thereby resulting in extreme heating load and cooling load in the country where temperature varies much in summer and winter. The research will check whether experiment can be effectively done by overcoming the limit of existing artificial solar laboratory constructed in the country and properly adjusting controlled variables with simplified function through construction of this experimental set.

As Building Integrated Photovoltaic(BIPV) system replaces the conventional building finishing materials with PV modules, two function of electricity generation and building envelope can be expected. Therefore BIPV can be a good alternative technology for the 21 century environment-friendly buildings. The objective of this paper is to develope BIPV modules for a commercial buildings of which structure is mainly light-weight, curtain wall system. Two types of module are developed for a opaque part and a transparent part of building envelope. Current technology level and market status of Korea determines the configuration of developed BIPV modules. Architectural considerations for the integration of PV module to building envelope such as building structure, construction type, safety, regulation, maintenance etc. have been carefully reflected from the early stage of BIPV module design. Especially the survey result of current building envelope materials determines the size of unit BIPV modules and a unique cladding method for PV module installation is developed. Trial product of BIPV modules and cladding hardwares are manufactured and sample construction details for a demonstration building are proposed.

The present study is to reduce the thermal phenomena and stack effect of nude elevator of the high-rise building used CFD simulation. Since many High-rise buildings used the curtain-wall glass, thermal phenomena and stack effect can easily occur at hot and cold season, respectively. The simulation has been conducted and verified for the effects of the amount of suppling air to the environment of the inside nude elevator shaft. The results of simulations show that the problems due to the thermal and stack effect will be reduced by enforced ventilation or natural ventilation and those will be presented by temperature and velocity profiles and pressure differences.
