Purpose: There have been more researches focused on eco-friendly construction practices in order to save energy consumed and these practices have been extensively applied for constructing buildings. However, researches on energy consumption saving and efficiency for hospital facilities have been still insufficient. This research aims to draw factors that affect energy efficiency of hospital buildings through literature reviews and perform an expert-survey using AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) method in order to analyze the importances and priorities of these energy efficient factors. Method: Using the AHP method, this paper suggests the importances and priorities of factors to affect energy efficiency in hospital buildings. The survey of experts at a architectural design and a construction management companies was conducted via e-mail and mail. Result: As a result, factors of window and door, insulation, ventilation, and natural lighting turned out relatively important as respectively 0.104, 0.102, 0.101, and 0.095 n the energy efficiency in hospital buildings, while factors of artificial lighting, geothermal, solar heat, and control did unimportant as 0.027, 0.033, 0.043, and 0.053.

A sensor networkis composed of a large number of sensor nodes, which are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. One of the most important constraints on sensor nodes is the low power consumption requirement. Sensor nodes carry limited, generally irreplaceable, power sources. Therefore, while traditional networks aim to achieve high quality of service (QoS) provisions, sensor network protocols must focus primarily on power conservation. This paper presents the characteristics of energy consuming, average delay in 802.11 MAC, S-MAC that is specifically designed for wireless sensor networks. We analyze the energy consuming state in the 802.11 MAC in the simulation topology nodes, and measure average delay in 802.11 and S-MAC. Energy efficiency is the primary goal in this protocol design. 802.11 MAC is more efficient than S-MAC in the average delay, throughput. However S-MAC is an energy efficient protocol, a tradeoff between energy efficiency and delay.

Of all the ways that energy is consumed within textile industry, few are as high energy-expending as dyeing process. The energy consumption in dyeing process amounts to 77% of total fuel consumption, 54% of total electricity use. A technical development in terms of efficient saving energy and time as well is required in the process of dyeing textiles. Recently, dyeing experts are investigating new technologies can conserve energy grafting into microwaves, radio waves, infrared lights, etc. Dyeing industry in Korea, however, the research related to energy conservation has been rarely conducted. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the possibility where especially microwaves could be applied to reduce the energy use and enhance dyeing process skill. This study performs the experiment in which microwave is employed as heating condition in dyeing and figures out as color yield being promoted, bathochromic effect would be achieved. Applying microwaves in dyeing process is expected to lower the carbon emission, energy and time wasted, ultimately exalt economic efficiency.

Currently water supply system with water storage is generally applied except for small building such as single-family houses, and water supply system on replacing water storage installed system by direct connecting system has been increasing because of sanitary and energy-saving aspects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate energy-saving and environmental efficiency of direct connecting booster pump system in comparison with the water storage installed system. The architectural condition of the evaluation subject is ten-story apartment house in which sixty households live. To calculate the power consumption of the pump, the volume of water supply was determined from existing data and other data, such as head, efficiency of the pump, was the value used for general application in design office. The power consumption of the water supply pump for one day was 8.5 kWh for direct connecting booster pump system, and 22.5 kWh for water storage installed system, and the former system showed energy savings of 62% compared to the latter system. Reduced power consumption also leads to reduction of $CO_2$ emission. According to the criteria presented in the Korea Energy Management Corporation, reducing the 2,410 kg $CO_2$ emission is possible per year.

Nowadays, reduction of energy use in buildings is a big issue, especially in public buildings like schools. The building structure is very simple in that, the room size, schedule and user number is similar across different schools. There are many policies which are suitable for this kind of buildings. Investigation of energy consumption pattern in primary school, middle school and high school in different cities of Korea has been done in this paper using statistical data from national organization and the data from IBM and Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, aimed at providing the basic data for the development of energy efficiency improvement policies of educational facilities. The study was divided according to climate, energy source type and public or private school, as different cities have different climates and accordingly different amount of energy sources are used. It was observed that, the average energy consumption in primary school is $36.9kWh/m^2$, in middle school is $20.5kWh/m^2$ and in high school $27.4kWh/m^2$. As further analysis, monthly energy consumption pattern has been analyzed for one city.

센서 네트워크에서 사용되는 동적 클러스터링 방식은 주기적으로 클러스터 구조가 바뀌는 셋업과정으로 인한 에너지 소모가 크다. 셋업과정은 보안적용을 해야 할 경우 보안 키가 주기적으로 재 생성되는 등 클러스터 구성 이외에 추가적인 에너지 낭비가 발생한다. 본 논문은 최초에 구성된 클러스터 알고리즘과 이후 반복적으로 발생되는 클러스터 재셋업 알고리즘을 달리하는 하이브리드 방식을 제안한다. 재 셋업에서는 고정된 클러스터 내에서 순환적으로 클러스터 헤드노드를 선출하는 순환적 클러스터 헤드선정(RRCH: Round-Robin Cluster Header)방식을 이용하여 에너지 소모를 줄인다. 보안키 생성 및 적용으로 추가되는 에너지 소모는 클러스터가 지속적으로 고정되기 때문에 최초 클러스터 형성 때 사전 배포하는 방식으로 해결된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 모의실험을 실시하였다. 라운드 구간을 100번 반복하여 클러스터 구성과 데이터 전송을 포함한 전체 에너지 소모량을 측정하였다. 결과는 제안한 방식이 LEACH방식보다 평균 26.5%, HEED방식보다 평균 20% 적게 소모되는 것을 확인하였다.

코드 리팩토링은 소프트웨어의 수명을 연장하기 위한 목적을 가지고, 유지보수성을 증진하는데 초점이 있다. 그러나 최근 소프트웨어의 유용성이 높아지고 활용 범위가 방대해지면서, 성능 및 신뢰성 등의 다양한 품질 속성을 코드 리팩토링을 통해 향상시키고자 하는 노력이 있었다. 최근 스마트 폰과 같은 모바일 기기에서 저전력 소프트웨어의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라, 전력 효율성을 보장하는 코드 리팩토링 기법들도 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 코드 리팩토링이 소모 전력의 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 즉 기존에 제시되었던 코드 리팩토링 기법들이 소모 전력에 대한 충분한 고려가 이루어지지 못했기 때문에 코드의 유지보수성은 향상시키지만, 전력 효율성이 감소하는 결과를 초래할 수 있다는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 M. Fowler가 개발한 코드 리팩토링 기법들을 대상으로 전력 효율성을 분석한다. 제시된 연구 결과를 통해 개발자들은 어떠한 리팩토링 기법이 전력 효율성을 제공하는지 판단할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 유지보수성이 높은 전력 효율적인 소프트웨어를 개발할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a novel miniaturized 3-D cubic antenna for use in wireless sensor network (WSN) application. The geometry of this antenna is designed as a cube including a meander dipole antenna. A truly omnidirectional pattern is produced by this antenna in both E-plane and H-plane, which allows for non-intermittent communication that is orientation independent. The operating frequency lies in the ISM band (centered in 2.45 GHz). The dimensions of this ultra-compact cubic antenna are 1.25*1.12*1cm3 which features a length dimension λ/11. The coefficient which presents the overall antenna structure is Ka=0.44. The cubic shape of the antenna is allowing for smart packaging, as sensor equipment may be easily integrated into the cube hallow interior. The major constraint of WSN is the energy consumption. The power consumption of radio communication unit is relatively high. So it is necessary to design an antenna which improves the energy efficiency. The parameters considered in this work are the resonant frequency, return loss, efficiency, bandwidth, radiation pattern, gain and the electromagnetic field of the proposed antenna. The specificity of this geometry is that its size is relatively small with an excellent gain and efficiency compared to previously structures (reported in the literature). All results of the simulations were performed by CST Microwave Studio simulation software and validated with HFSS. We used Advanced Design System (ADS) to validate the equivalent scheme of our conception. Input here the part of summary.

4족 보행로봇은 에너지원을 본체에 부착하고 다녀야 하기 때문에 산업용 로봇에서 크게 고려되지 않았던 에너지 효율이 중요한 문제로 부각되었고 이에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 현재까지 4족 보행로봇 에너지 효율에 관한 연구의 대부분은 수학적 모델링, 동역학적 해석 또는 시뮬레이션으로 주기(Period)당 에너지 소모량을 근거로 효율을 평가하였다. 실험적 결과에 의한 연구는 아직 부족하며 로봇은 단순히 한주기를 보행하는 것이 아니라 연속적으로 보행하는 것이기 때문에 한주기를 기준으로 효율을 평가하는 것은 적합하지 않을 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 실험 로봇인 TITAN-VIII을 보폭이 0.1, 0.2, 0.3[m]일 때 주기를 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0[sec]로 변경하면서 12가지 경우에 대해서 2[m]를 Trot 보행 시키면서 에너지 소모량을 측정하고 실험적 결과를 근거로 에너지 효율관계를 분석하였다.
