There has been considerable interest in electrochromic devices because of its potential application in automobiles including mirrors and windows. The electrochromic(EC) mirror can automatically control the amount of glare produced by headlights or other light source on either inside or outside mirrors. Therefore, the EC mirror can be a better alternative to todays day-night mirrors for automobiles. In this paper we have fabricated all solid state EC mirrors with glass-ITO / a-WO$_3$/ polymer electrolyte / a-V$_2$O$\sub$5/ / ITO-glass / Al structure and investigated their spectral reflectance as a function of applied voltage.

This study was a preliminary investigation into improving the environmental and healthy quality of childcare centers. The purpose of this study was to determine the management condition on indoor environment and hygiene of childcare centers in Cheongju. Questionnaire survey was carried out from 11st to 26th of August 2004 by mail. Respondents were consisting of 55 teachers, an executive of each childcare center in Cheongju. From the survey results, there were some problems in 'empty period after remodeling work for preventing sick house syndrome', 'humidity controling', 'glare controling', 'indoor or outdoor noise controling', 'cleaning frequency of each room', 'washing method of toys', 'laundry frequency of rag doll and bedclothes'. So, we need to establish the regulations or give some educations and informations about indoor environment and hygiene to administrators of childcare centers.

The purpose of this study is to make use of the results, which have been obtained by field survey on the physical elements of daylight enviorment and by research on the subjective response of the students in classrooms, as fundamental data to improve the learning circumstances of classroom. This field survey was made for the students who are doing visual activities most of their time in a classroom formed by luminous environment. Two classrooms of H` Middle School are selected for this study. One is facing the south and the other is facing the east, The classfoom facing the southe was superior in daylight factor and illuminance, while both classrooms were poor in equality. Three factors(brightness, spaciousness, and glare) were drawn in the whole indoor visual environment and two factors(uniformity and reflection) were drawn in the warking plane environment.

BIPV or double skin applied to the surface of the building, power and thermal load cannot both be increased. In the case of BIPV, because it is applied to the facade, incident solar energy decreases and efficiency drops off. The system in this paper complements these disadvantages and aims to decrease the heating & cooling load by transforming solar energy to electronic and thermal energy. The research in this paper is about the applicability of the clear PV attached double-skin system. And the PV electronic generation and the factors that affect the heating & cooling load such as the daily radiation, sun shading ratio, heating & cooling load, daylight luminance and glare distributions in the building are simulated.

Poor quality and lower levels of lighting can produce severe problems in visual environment including glare, veiling reflections and contrast. This study aims to evaluate the lighting environment around VDTs. For the purpose, brightness contrast on screen, Reyboaed, and document, and their illumination were measured and compared to German Standard. The lighting environment of two offices untilizing VDTs were significantly different according to the daylight direction; the side and the frontward.

According to the analysis of crosswalk pedestrian accidents, accidents that occur at night represent 70% of all deaths among crosswalk pedestrians when compared to accidents occurring in the daytime. This is due to the poor visibility that hinders drivers to recognize pedestrians at night. Illuminance on the horizontal plane of the road and the current state of crosswalk lighting are not sufficient enough to comply with standards. Thus, we analyzed factors derived from lighting environment studies on improving crosswalk visibility, domestic and foreign crosswalk lighting standards, and subsequently proposed solutions which are needed to raise domestic crosswalk lighting standards, and a means to uphold those standards through proper verification.

The purpose of this study is to analyze daylight distribution and light characteristics on the Ma-ji and Roller Shade fabric, and to investigate a possibility of using it as a shading system. Using a 1/2 Mock-up model, daylight distribution is analyzed with the Ma-ji and Sun-ji (Korean traditional paper) which have good efficiency and less glare. Ma-ji has the best daylight distribution, so that daylight experiment is conducted with the Ma-ji and Roller Shade fabric. In current office buildings and apartment houses, daylight characteristics of Korean traditional paper windows could be used as preliminary data to develop a window system which makes better daylight performance.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the electric lighting energy consumption carried out by Daysim program. A comparison between the measurement and simulated exterior global horizontal illuminance shows differences about 10% and it is very similar to the measurement. The interior illuminance simulated by Daysim are 18.9% lower than the measurement and simulated lighting energy consumption is 10% lower than the measurement. Corrected annual lighting energy simulation results show that the best case is the combination of occupancy switch-off and dimming system with automatic controlled blinds (E-3). In case of no blinds, it occasionally derives the minimum lighting energy consumption but it causes the glare, so we need to be careful for choosing the control strategy. For the overcast sky, the lighting energy consumption is not changed significantly by control strategy while the lighting energy in the clear sky is changed noticeably. So we must know the right strategy for each case to control the electric lights and blinds.

We demonstrate the operation of an apparatus that we call the laser scanning confocal microscopy. It is valuable tool of the investigations for imaging process. We measured the thin metal structure through the SCM manufacture. Confocal microscopy offers several advantages including shallow depth of field, elimination of out-of-focus glare, and the ability to collect serial optical sections from thick specimens than conventional optical microscope. This research is manufactured of scanning confocal microscopy and after measured of metal materials structure.
