As 'Low Carbon Green Building' is highly required, programs to evaluate building performance are actively and commonly used. For most of these programs, dynamic responses of buildings against external weather changes are very important. In order to simulate the programs, weather data of each region must be properly entered to estimate accurate amount of building energy consumption. To this end, the existing weather data and weather data of KSES were compared and analyzed to find out how weather changes. Energy load of Korea's standard houses was also analyzed based on this data. As a result, data corresponding to June ${\sim}$ September when cooling is supplied shows 23% of average increase with 30% of peak increase(June). On the other hand, data corresponding to November ${\sim}$ February when heating is supplied shows 29% of average decrease with 34% of peak decrease(November). Increase in cooling load and decrease in heating load in the above data comparison/analysis show that KSES 2009 data reflects increase in average temperature caused by global warming unlike the existing data. Increase in dry-bulb temperature depending on weather change of standard houses increases cooling load by 17% and decreases heating load by 36%

The Multichannel Analyzer for Transient and steady-state in Rod Array - Liquid Metal Reactor for Flow Blockage analysis (MATRA-LMR-FB) code for the analysis of a subchannel blockage has been developed and evaluated through several experiments. The current version of the code is improved here by the implementation of a distributed resistance model which accurately considers the effect of flow resistance on wire spacers, by the addition of a turbulent mixing model, and by the application of a hybrid scheme for low flow regions. Validation calculations for the MATRA-LMR-FB code were performed for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) 19-pin tests with wire spacers and Karlsruhe 169-pin tests with grid spacers. The analysis of the ORNL 19-pin tests conducted using the code reveals that the code has sufficient predictive accuracy, within a range of 5 $^{\circ}C$, for the experimental data with a blockage. As for the results of the analyses, the standard deviation for the Karlsruhe 169-pin tests, 0.316, was larger than the standard deviation for the ORNL 19-pin tests, 0.047.

This study aims to investigate the possibility of expanding the support program for green remodeling of fire stations and analyze the standard design guidelines. Green remodeling is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting green buildings, but currently, it is only conducted for buildings with limited purposes. In this study, we conduct green remodeling for fire stations with severe aging to demonstrate energy performance improvement and investigate the potential for expanding the support program to other types of aging buildings. The research methodology includes analysis of previous studies, preliminary investigation and alternative setting, energy analysis, calculation of construction costs, evaluation of the possibility of introducing support programs, and examine of the fire station standard design guidelines. The research results confirm that green remodeling can reduce energy consumption in fire stations and present the possibility of including fire stations as targets in the support program for green remodeling of public buildings.

최근, 전 세계적으로 온실 가스 증가에 따른 기후 변화에 대한 문제가 논의되고 있다. 그중, 건축물에서의 에너지 소비량은 전체 에너지 소비량의 40%까지 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 건축물에서의 에너지 소비량 절감에 대한 노력이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는, 건물에너지 절감에 효과적으로 기여하는 재료 중 하나인 목재를 이용하여, 목질 제품 구성에 따른 중부지방과 남부지방의 난방에너지 요구량에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 도구는 미국 에너지부(Department of Energy)가 BLAST와 DOE-2의 장점을 결합해 만든 동적 에너지 해석 엔진인 EnergyPlus를 이용하였다. EnergyPlus는 다양한 건물 및 HVAC 시스템 구성요소(Object)에 대한 입력항목(Field)을 가지고 있으며, 특히 건물, 공조시스템, 열원기기 사이의 피드백을 통해 통합된 동시계산을 수행하며, ASHRAE Standard 140-2007 표준에 따라 상용 프로그램 간의 비교를 통해 검증된 프로그램이다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 기상데이터는 EnergyPlus에서 제공하는 IWEC 인천 지역과 광주 지역의 epw 형식 기상데이터를 이용하였다. 대상 모델은 한국농어촌공사에서 제시한 2012년 농 어촌주택 표준설계도면 중 '농림-12-26-가' 유형을 이용하였으며 총 10개의 실로 구성되어 있다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과, 중부지방과 남부지방 별 목질 제품의 적용 범위를 실내마감재, 실외마감재, 창호, 목구조로 단계적으로 변경해 지역에 따라 각각 16 Case의 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 실내외의 마감재로 목재를 사용한 것만으로도 에너지 성능이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

What is attempted here is to find out an optimum method for the design of physical environments that could save human energy expenditures and safely perform household duties. There are, if any, very little amount of research done in this area. This is particulary so when the work relates to the designing of household storage facilities in the light of the energy metabolism of human body. The first step to this study, therefore, is to find out the ways by which we can determine the energy metabolism of human body accurately. To measure the volume and the concentration of human respiration continuously and automatically, a new apparatus is selected here. This includes the recording system with the Wright Respirometer and the Expired Gas Analyzer as well as the computer system to multiply volume by concentration of human respiration and to integrate them for a given time. Then, the author experimented on the reliability of this apparatus and came to the conclusion that this apparatus satisfied our need to research the energy metabolism of human body. Next, the general plan and procedures to experiment with this apparatus have been determined as follows: 1) subjects are three young and sound females. Their physical characteristics are shown in Table 1 and most approximates the standard characteristics of Japanese females, 2) height of open shelves is selected in such away as to correspond to the respective height of each subject(see Table 2), 3) utensils to be stored are box shaped object, which weight is 0.5kg, 1.0kg, 2.0kg or 3.0kg, 4) working motions are given while one or two hands as to place utensil on each shelf from the standard working board, 85 cm in height and then to place back it on the board from the shelf and repeated in constant velocity as 10 times per a minute, 5) each posture of motion is chosen by each subject in free, 6) procedures of measurement of human energy metabolism ard shown at(6), 1, Section 3 as specific methods for using this apparatus. Findings of this study are as follows: 1. Human energy expenditures for storing utensils on shelves by each subject are shown in quantity more accurately than in any other studies, under varying conditions about height of shelves, load of utensils and working motion with one hand and two hands (see Fig. 8~13 and Table 3). 2. Experimental formulae of human energy expenditure for that work are shown as formula (8), (9) and (10), to generalize results of 1. and to apply those for working motion under given conditions. 3. As results of analysis on gained data, we are able to show the standard model of human energy expenditures for storing untensils on shelves by the standard Japanese female (see Table 7 and Fig. 14).

Recently, Korea government decided to introduce RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) mechanism which requires electricity providers to gradually increase the amount of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal. As a consequence, it is expected that the long-term fuel mix would be changed to result in more expensive production and the increased production costs would be distributed to the rate payers via electricity tariffs. This paper presents the change in long-term fuel mix in year 2020 with the four RPS scenarios of 3%, 5%, 10% and 20%, and the methodologies for collecting the increased production costs through new tariff schedule. The studies on long-term fuel mix have been carried out with the GATE-PRO (Generation And Transmission Expansion Program) optimization package, a mixed-integer program developed by the Korea Energy Economics Institute and Hongik university. Three methodologies for distributing the production costs to the rate payers have also been demonstrated.

Recently, there have been suggestions that power factor should be considered to increase the efficiency of electric power supply when evaluating the performance of the electric appliances in standby mode and the related studies have been conducted to improve the efficiency standard of standby power. But, they lack the analysis of the standby power characteristics with the changes of power factor. This study is conducted to analyze the standby power characteristics of TV which is a typical home appliance and reaches a conclusion that the apparent power can be a more reasonable index which reflects the efficiency of electric power supply. It is also found that LED TVs show the best performance in standby mode. Moreover, an example to set standby power standards on TVs to be applied in the future is suggested, considering the energy efficiency policies for appliances.

In this study, the theoretical investigation of the electrically heated catalyst(EHC) for vehicle application has been carried out using the thermal equivalence of EHC system and the data of vehicle tests to meet ultra low emission vehicle(ULEV) standard. To improve the efficiency of EHC system, it is necessary to understand relation between the power, the operating time and the conversion efficiency of EHC system. The relation was found with thermal equivalence of EHC system which considers the power supply to EHC, heat loss, chemical exothermic energy generated by oxidation reaction and net energy coming in via the exhaust gas. From this relation, the limits of needful power and operating time to meet the ULEV standard can be suggested, when the conversion efficiency of catalyst was known.
