In recent years, building commissioning has often been part of a standard delivery practice in construction, particularly in the high-performance green building market, to ensure the building is designed and constructed per owner's requirements. Commissioning, therefore, intends to provide quality assurance that buildings perform as intended by the design and often helps achieve energy savings. Commissioning, however, is not as widely adopted as its potential benefits are perceived. Owners are still skeptical of the cost-effectiveness claims by energy management and commissioning professionals. One of the issues in the current commissioning practice is that not every project is guaranteed to benefit from the commissioning services. This, coupled with its added cost, the commissioning service is not acquired with great acceptance and confidence by building owners. To overcome this issue, this paper presents a unique methodology to enhance owner's predicting capability of the degree of success of commissioning service using the Bayesian theorem. The paper analyzes a situation where a future building owner wants to use a pre-commissioning in an attempt to refine the success rate of the future commissioned building performance. The author proposes the Bayesian theorem based framework to improve the current commissioning practice where building owners are not given accurate information how much successful their projects are going to be in terms of energy savings from the commissioning service. What should be provided to the building owners who consider their buildings to be commissioned is that they need some indicators how likely their projects benefit from the commissioning process. Based on this, the owners can make better informed decisions whether or not they acquire a commissioning service.

Although research and technology developments have recently increased to save lighting energy within buildings, such research and technology development are judged to be unsuitable for energy savings since they are limited in the sense that the application of the technology is fragmented. This study proposes a user and location awareness technology applied to dimming lighting control system and verified the effectiveness of energy savings by building a test bed. The results were as follows : 1) This study suggested a user and location awareness technology applied to dimming lighting control system. 2) The system shows 96.6% and 82.8% energy saving rates, respectively, on the basis of one user, compared to an on/off lighting control and the user and location awareness technology applied to on/off lighting control system. 3) The energy consumption of the user and location awareness technology applied to on/off lighting control system and the user and location awareness technology applied to dimming lighting control system increased to 96.6%, 88.3%, and 59.6% and 82.8%, 85.0%, 51.5%, respectively, on the basis of one, two, and three users, compared to the on/off lighting control system. This study confirmed the energy saving performance of the user and location awareness technology applied to the dimming lighting control system through performance evaluation. In this regard, further study needs to be undertaken to evaluate the performance at night time.

Recently, electric industry confront a strategical change and high competiveness environment in the course of deregulation. Especially, rapid growth in electricity demand, financial need for new power plant construction, and environmental problems have led to search for more efficient energy production and energy conservation technologies in Korea. Due to the potential energy and cost savings, DSM(Demand-Side Management) plays and important role in the electric resource planning. In this paper, we suggest DSM potential evaluation procedures and algorithm. Also, we present screening analysis methods for DSM potential evaluation.

It is important to improve the energy performance in the industrial sector, and therefore most of the manufacturing companies need the energy performance indicators to identify the target and to verify the energy savings. However, the conventional energy performance indicators such as the total energy consumption and the energy intensity are not proper to use. The reason is that they do not consider adequate relevant variables including productions in the boundary of the manufacturing companies. Therefore, the study provides the advanced energy performance indicator using by the linear regression model according to each energy source to manage the target and to verify the energy performance properly.

As a reasonable energy policy has become required because of consuming substantial amounts of oil than others, the studies on energy consumption are in work for energy savings of buildings that spend up to 24% of total energy consumption. However, there aren't basic data on energy consumption and installationregulations for effective equipments in energy guzzled buildings. The best plan to reduce the building energy consumption is that the insulation performance should be improved because the insulation and airtight of building envelopes have an effect on the energy consumption basically. Thus, we should prepare the alternatives to improve insulation performance of envelopes and the efficiency of insulation performance of the window for reducing energy consumption.

For electricity markets to function in a truly competitive and efficient manner, it is not enough to focus solely on improving the efficiencies of power supply. To recognize price-responsive load as a reliability resource, the customer must be provided with price signals and an instrument to respond to these signals, preferably automatically. This paper attempts to develop the Windows-based load management system in competitive electricity markets, allowing the user to monitor the current energy consumption or billing information, to analyze the historical data, and to implement the consumption strategy for cost savings with nine possible scenarios adopted. Finally, this modeling framework will serve as a template containing the basic concepts that any load management system should address.

무선 센서 네트워크는 일반적으로 에너지를 위해 배터리에 의존하는 밀집되게 배치된 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 이와 같이 여러 개로 밀집되게 배치된 센서 노드들은 에너지 낭비 및 센서 데이터의 높은 중복 전송을 야기한다. 상기 전원 관련 제약 및 높은 중복성과 같은 양자 문제는 센서 노드들 간의 적절한 노드 활동 스케줄링에 의해 해결될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 우수한 커버리지 성능 보장 및 노드들 간 에너지 절약과 네트워크 수명의 연장을 위한 셀룰러 오토마타 (CA) 기반의 노드 스케줄링 알고리즘이 제안된다. 또한 CA 프레임워크에 기반하여 노드 스케줄링 알고리즘의 새로운 수학적 모델을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 스케줄링 결정을 위해 노드 내 지역 환경 조건의 변경 및 인접 노드들의 상태 정보를 이용한다. 본 논문은 제안한 방식을 적용한 시스템의 동작을 분석하고 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 센싱 커버리지 품질을 유지하면서 유의한 에너지 절약을 갖춘 에너지 균형을 보장함을 확인하였다.

Nowadays, global warming and high oil prices were a threat to the survival of the whole human race. One of a solution to respond to these problems is to reduce energy consumption of building. By adopting energy-saving design, the dissemination of low energy building is required. Therefore, to improve energy efficiency while reducing the usage of the design method is necessary to study actively. BIM-based systems applied to buildings, scheduled to be built by reducing the amount of energy reduction technologies can be analyzed. Depending on various design and equipment to set energy savings goals, you can select an alternative. If it is possible to predict the energy efficiency from the initial stage of design and support designing low energy building, we would be able to expect improvement in the economics of housing due to the reduction of energy consumption.

As one of the most important requirements for wireless sensor networks, prolonging network lifetime can be realized by minimizing energy consumption in cluster heads as well as sensor nodes. While most of the previous researches have focused on the energy of sensor nodes, we devote our attention to cluster heads because they are most dominant source of power consumption in the cluster-based sensor networks. Therefore, we seek to minimize energy consumption by minimizing the maximum(MINMAX) energy dissipation at each cluster heads. This work requires energy-efficient clustering of the sensor nodes while satisfying given energy constraints. In this paper, we present a constraint satisfaction modeling of cluster-based routing in a heterogeneous sensor networks because mixed integer programming cannot provide solutions to this MINMAX problem. Computational experiments show that substantial energy savings can be obtained with the MINMAX algorithm in comparison with a minimum total energy(MTE) strategy.
