Faced with the international issue of environmental problems from global warming and energy consumption, the Korean Government has made many efforts on reducing energy and $CO_2$ emission under the motto of "Low-Carbon Green Growth". In order to reduce energy in the building sector, severe design standards and regulations on saving energy in new buildings have been established. Now, it is necessary to focus on deteriorated buildings where applications of energy saving designs and techniques have been insufficient, for maximizing energy saving in the building sector. Specially, it is very important to reduce energy through the remodeling process at deteriorated school buildings which were built over 20 years ago and sharply changed into the excessive energy consumption structure from new educational curricula. Thus, this paper examined the effects of potential factors to reduce energy at deteriorated elementary school buildings using the energy simulation on the Visual DOE 4.0 program. Among applied factors of insulations, southern louver, window's SHGC, indoor setup temperature, and system efficiency, all factors except window's SHGC turned out contribute to reduce energy at the deteriorated elementary school buildings, compared with the baseline energy performance.

The purpose of this study is to discuss how to improve the maneuverability of lifting and diving for underwater vehicle's vertical motion. Therefore, to solve these problems, applied the 3-D numerical simulation, Taguchi's Design of Experiment (DOE), and intelligent parameter design methods, etc. We planned four steps as follows: firstly, we applied the 2-D flow simulation with NACA series, and then through the Taguchi's dynamic method to analyze the sensitivity (β). Secondly, take the data of pitching torque and total resistance from the Taguchi orthogonal array (L9), the ignal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and analysis each factorial contribution by ANOVA. Thirdly, used Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) method to train the non-linear meta-modeling and found out the best factorial combination by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Weighted Percentage Reduction of Quality Loss (WPRQL). Finally, the application of the above methods gives the global optimum for multi-quality characteristics and the robust design configuration, including L/D is 9.4:1, the foreplane on the hull (Bow-2), and position of the sail is 0.25 Ls from the bow. The result shows that the total quality is improved by 86.03% in comparison with the original design.

IEEE 802.15.4는 다양한 모니터링과 제어 응용을 위한 보편적인 대안으로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.4를 이용하여 직류배전선로를 실시간으로 감시하고, 신속한 장애감지와 장애발생 선로를 차단하기 위한 직류배전선로 장애관리시스템을 설계하였다. 각 노드에 번호를 할당하였고, IEEE 802.15.4의 Unslotted CSMA-CA 방식을 사용하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능분석을 하였다. 이를 위해 전류 16비트, 진폭 16비트, 기타 상태정보 28비트로 총 60비트의 제어정보를 보냈고, 직류배전선로 장애관리시스템의 패킷전달율과 전송 지연시간을 측정하고 분석하였다. 트래픽 부하가 초당 330 패킷 이하일 때, 0.02초보다 짧은 평균 지연이 나타났으며, 트래픽 부하가 초당 260 패킷 이하일 때, 99.99% 이상의 패킷 전달률을 보여준다. 따라서 트래픽 부하가 초당 260 패킷 이하일 때, 미국 DOE(Department of Energy)의 엄격한 조건을 만족함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문의 연구결과는 IEEE 802.15.4를 이용한 직류배전선로 장애관리시스템 구축을 위한 기본 자료로서 활용이 가능할 것이다.
