  • The movement towards sustainable building design can result in unique fire protection challenges and concerns, especially with super tall buildings in relationship to traditional prescriptive code compliance. Different countries haves different code requirements as well as local best practices and may cause conflict with the design features when designing green buildings. These include, but not limited to green roofs, sprinkler water quality and testing, fire department access and areas of refuge with direct or indirect impact by the perspective code compliance. The solutions to these prescriptive code challenges and fire safety concerns can range from simple alternatives to more detailed engineering performance-based design analyses with good solid practice.

  • Energy and environment problem has been arisen and become one of the major concerns all over the world, due to scarce energy resources and inefficient energy consumption. Recently, energy-IT(EIT) convergence technology has been getting more attention, being expected to be one of key technologies to resolve the problem, and R&D projects on various areas of EIT convergence technologies have been launched in many countries on a large scale. Korea government and companies have also been interested in the development of EIT technologies, however, the scopes of technology areas are limited to just a small part such as smart grid technology. This paper investigates effectiveness of each EIT convergence technology and deduces EIT convergence technologies using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). It is expected that our research could be meaningful information supporting policies on R&D projects of EIT convergence technologies promoted to save energy and strengthen the national competitiveness. Our research results show that the EIT convergence technology area of green building would be the most effective EIT convergence technology except smart grid, and network-based energy management system would be the most effective amongst the sub-areas of green building.

  • Purpose: This study is to investigate the effects of facade insulation and window remodeling of an existing old middle school building on the reduction of energy consumption. Method: To analyze energy performance of building, using DesignBuilder v3.4, building energy simulation tool based EnergyPlus engine. Energy consumption and problem of target building was analyzed based on data and survey. Based on building energy simulations it analyzed the variation of energy demand for the building according to U-value of wall, glazing properties and external shading devices. Result: When insulation of building was reinforced, cooling and heating load was decreased. Glazing properties that minimize cooling and heating energy consumption were analyzed. In conclusion, it is important to choose SHGC and U-value of window fit in characteristic of target building. Setting external blind for cooling load decreases 5%.

  • The need for this study must be considerable, as being activate of green roofs research that the organization and construction obtain access to more development technologies. Nevertheless, the green roofs system has begun to apply since 1980's, the green roofs technology was restricted to develop without verification of technologies such as a load or water leakage. There is a limit as urethane waterproofing to almost domestic waterproofing materials and methods of construction for general green roofs. The introduction of materials and methods of construction which are appropriated to property of green roofs could be a decisive factor in a long-range durability and economical maintenance cost, moreover, it support to variety construction system and organization. This present paper describes a necessity of waterproofing and root barrier system is one of the sub-organization based on green roofs construction, which have enormously large impact on the durability.

  • According to the recent research results of the Ministry of Environment, the indoor air quality of large general hospitals and university hospitals(58 hospitals) exceeded the maintenance standard. On top of such indoor air quality, it is also desperately required to have the environment-friendly building design and also low carbon green design in accordance with the increase of hospital size and enlarged hospital buildings. Especially, the increase of carbon dioxide, heat, garbage, waste energy, exhaust heat from power plants and sewage heat in each medical center brings up lots of problems to the health of hospital patients and customers. Thus this study aims to convergently develop the green environment-friendly architecture design technology concerning the organic relations between each medical building, and technical development which should be introduced to the low carbon green environment-friendly architecture design based on the characteristics of each medical center in large-scale medical complex.

  • This research traces the history of legislative matters regarding the enactment and revision of laws and regulations related to the outdoor landscape in apartment complex. The years before 1976 can be classified as 'a period of darkness' for the landscape in apartment complex due to absence of landscape legislation. From the year of 1977 when the landscape planting and mere necessities were carried out according to the local administration's building standard to the year of 1990 can be classified as 'a period of quickening'. The year of after 1991 when the enactment of the code#32 called "the green space in site" in the "Korea Building Code" and the "Korea Housing Standard & Regulation" was made, and various construction regulations and provisions were revised in order to improve the scantiness of the apartment complex and its environment should be called 'a period of development'.

  • Caused on the excessive heat accumulation of concrete material, the indoor thermal environment of reinforced concrete building is so bad in Okinawa. As the interruption of solar radiation could be one of the methods to improve it, the purpose of this study is to find out the effect of adopting solar radiation interrupting materials -Solar insulating block, Grass, and both of them- for the improvement of thermal environment. As the result, it was found that grass on the solar insulating block which has an air layer obviously improved the indoor thermal environment of RC building which was applied to. And it was found that the systems have an effectuality on heat island phenomenon simultaneously. It could be proposed as a good system which improve the indoor thermal environment of the existent houses.
