Currently, the energy consumption rate in buildings is approximately 28.5% of the total energy consumption in Korea. Therefore the amount of the consumption of petroleum resourses is at a worrying level of the blackout. The system of the amount of the Architectural Energy Efficiency Grade [AEEG] is in force by the government to apply the technologies of the Emissions Trading System and the Target Management System to mitigate the Green House Gases for buildings according to the climate change. On the account the mitigation of the Green House Gases and the reduction of the energy, from the view of maintenance and management, for the new and remodeling buildings should be under consideration. The author wants to present the possible ways how to improve the AEEG for the existing buildings by trying to establish the foundation of the BEMs, and by confirming the potential of the energy savings.

Hybrid power systems with fuel cells and batteries have the potential to improve the operation efficiency and dynamic response. A proper load management strategy is important to better system efficiency and endurance in hybrid systems. In this paper, a fuzzy logic algorithm has been used to determine the fuel cell output power depending on the external required power and the battery state of charge(SoC). If the required power of the hybrid system is small and the SoC is small, then the greater part of the fuel cell power is used to charge the battery pack. If the required power is relatively big and the SoC is big, then fuel cell and battery are concurrently used to supply the required power. These IF-THEN operation rules are implemented by fuzzy logic for the energy management system of hybrid system. The strategy is evaluated by simulation. The results show that fuzzy logic can be effectively used to optimize the operational efficiency of hybrid system and to maintain the battery SoC properly.

무선 센서 네트워크 시스템에서 에너지 효율을 증가시키기 위한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며 그중에서도 통신과 관련된 에너지 소모를 감소시키는 연구가 가장 많이 진행되어 왔다. 실제로 각 노드에서는 통신 및 센싱이 빈번하게 일어난다. 그러므로 통신에서의 에너지 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 센싱 주기와 전송 주기를 제어하는 기능이 요구된다. 또한 질의에 해당하는 노드에게만 질의를 전파함으로써 전송횟수의 감소를 통하여 에너지 소비를 감소할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 질의어를 통해 센싱 주기와 전송 주기를 제어할 수 있는 노드 관리 기능과 서비스 디스커버리 기술을 응용하여 질의에 해당하는 노드에게만 질의 전파 제한 메커니즘을 제안하고, 구현하며 성능을 평가한다.

In this paper, we introduce a quality of experience (QoE)-provisioning mobility management scheme. The emphasis is on a mobility-aware QoE solution enabling network components to recognize the mobility pattern of an end-user and to prepare a handover in advance. We further focus on an energy-adaptive QoE solution based on the energy profile providing the preferred pattern of energy consumption and an energy preference check engine determining whether the provision of the service that the end-user requested is suitable to QoE or not. Lastly, we concentrate on a network-based intelligent mobility management scheme adopting the calm service and the balance. Consequently, we conclude that the proposed schemes improve the handover latency, QoE metrics, and energy efficiency simultaneously.

As environmental concerns grow, people are becoming more aware of energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable development. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is currently the most widely recognized building environment assessment method connected to energy and the environment worldwide. This study explores trends for six factors (energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, sustainable sites, water efficiency, and innovation in design) to assess four levels of LEED certification (Platinum, gold, silver, and certified) using 11,209 LEED projects in the United States. The study analyzes trends using scores of percentages of maximum points by certification level, ownership type, space type, and climate zones. With the interest in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principle on the rise, this study contributes to a better understanding of the trends and future of LEED certification in the built environment sector.

최근 유무선 네트워크는 IP 코어망을 중심으로 가입자망의 형태를 가지는 BcN(Broadband convergence Network)로 진화되고 있으며, 이와 함께 인간 외부환경의 감지를 수행할 유비쿼터스 센서네트워크(USN : Ubiquitous Sensor Network)가 새로이 연구되어 오고 있다. 감지하는 대부분의 데이터의 경우에 악의를 가진 노드에게 노출되거나 위변조 되어서는 안될 정보들이기 때문에 센서네트워트에서 에너지 효율을 고려한 정보보호 기법을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 임의의 센서노드부터 싱크까지의 에너지 효율적이고 안전한 데이터 전달을 위한 정보보호기법으로, 단순한 해쉬함수의 계산을 중심으로 에너지 소모를 줄이는 키관리기법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 키관리기법의 보안성 분석을 위하여 만족해야 하는 보안성에 대해 정의 증명하였으며, 에너지효율성을 측정하였다. 각 기법은 기존의 관련연구와 비교 분석하여 본 논문에서 제안한 기법이 우수함을 증명하였다.

Technology for high-level-waste disposal employing a multibarrier concept using engineered and natural barrier in stable bedrock at 300-1,000 m depth is being commercialized as a safe, long-term isolation method for high-level waste, including spent nuclear fuel. Managing heat generated from waste is important for improving disposal efficiency; thus, research on efficient heat management is required. In this study, thermal management methods to maximize disposal efficiency in terms of the disposal area required were developed. They efficiently use the land in an environment, such as Korea, where the land area is small and the amount of waste is large. The thermal effects of engineered barriers and natural barriers in a high-level waste disposal repository were analyzed. The research status of thermal management for the main bedrocks of the repository, such as crystalline, clay, salt, and other rocks, were reviewed. Based on a characteristics analysis of various heat management approaches, the spent nuclear fuel cooling time, buffer bentonite thermal conductivity, and disposal container size were chosen as efficient heat management methods applicable in Korea. For each method, thermal analyses of the disposal repository were performed. Based on the results, the disposal efficiency was evaluated preliminarily. Necessary future research is suggested.

Energy consumption has become a main problem of sustainable development in communication networks and how to communicate with high energy efficiency is a significant topic that researchers and network operators commonly concern. In this paper, an energy-efficient multicast algorithm in multi-hop wireless networks is proposed aiming at new generation wireless communications. Traditional multi-hop wireless network design only considers either network efficiency or minimum energy consumption of networks, but rarely the maximum energy efficiency of networks. Different from previous methods, the paper targets maximizing energy efficiency of networks. In order to get optimal energy efficiency to build network multicast, our proposed method tries to maximize network throughput and minimize networks' energy consumption by exploiting network coding and sleeping scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better energy efficiency and performance improvements compared with existing methods.
