  • The building remodeling is providing a lot of solutions - structural, aesthetic, environmental, and energy performance improvement - in improving buildings performance and environment. The remodelings influences on our society are resource conservation, environmental conservation, expansion of construction market, and creation of new employment. The three principal remodeler groups involved in this building remodeling are general construction contractors, interior architecture contractors, and ESCO (Energy Service Company). Having a representative character, this study classifies remodeling methods into five types: structural remodeling, spatial remodeling, exterior remodeling, environment-friendly remodeling, and ecological remodeling.

  • Photovoltaic(PV) technology is a popular part of building vocabulary. It can be used today on both existing and new buildings. Its use in the building envelope is very varied and open ways, such as roofing materials, facades, skylights and shading systems, for creative designers. So, to activate this systems demand appropriate sources of information, performance data of elements and design tools offering architects and designer. Therefore this paper describe application elements for BIPV system and then predict improvement in the generated electric power performance of balcony BIPV system.

  • This study proposes an algorithm that combines a Kalman Filter method with effective decay constant correction to improve the accuracy of predicting radiation dose rate distribution during emergencies. The algorithm addresses the limitations of relying solely on measurement data by incorporating calculation data and refining the estimations. The effectiveness of algorithm was assessed using hypothetical test scenarios, which demonstrated a significant improvement in the accuracy of dose rate prediction compared to the model predictions. The estimates generated by the algorithm showed a good agreement with the measured data, and the discrepancies tend to decrease over time. Furthermore, the application of the effective decay constant correction accelerated the reduction of prediction errors. In conclusion, it was confirmed that the combined use of the Kalman filter method and effective decay constant correction is an effective approach to improve the accuracy of dose rate prediction.

  • Energy is essential factor of production for a firm to produce goods and services. If so, what is the condition of maintaining profit of a firm when energy price is going up? In conclusion, the condition is that the rate of productivity improvement should be greater than the rate of energy price increase. To put this concretely, when the elasticity of energy price as to the productivity improvement is greater than the weight of the energy cost on to the total revenue of the firm, the firm can escape the negative effect of energy price increase. This is that, saying that once more, the firm have to reduce the energy cost or promote energy efficiency to maintain appropriate or sufficient profit when energy price is going up fast. Therefore, in this study we will analyze the effect of the oil price increase on the energy saving investment and that of energy saving investment on the energy efficiency in the field of Korean manufacturing industry. In doing so, this study could show that the effect of energy price increase on the energy efficiency of the firm and the factor of that mechanism.
