Purpose: Greenhouses for a protected horticulture covered with a plastic or glass are easy to have weakness in a heat loss by deterioration, damage, poor construction, and so on. To grasp the vulnerable points of heat loss of the greenhouses is important for heating energy saving. In this study, an on-site heat loss audit and energy consulting system were developed for an efficient energy usage of a greenhouse. Method: Developed system was mounted with infrared thermal and visual cameras to grasp the heat loss from the greenhouse quickly and exactly, and a trial calculation program of heating load of greenhouse to provide farmers with the information of heating energy usage. Results: Developed system could print out the reports about the locations and causes of the heat losses and improvement methods made up by an operator. The mounted trial calculation program could print out the information of the period heating load and fuel cost according to the conditions of greenhouse and cultivation. The program also mounted the databases of the information on the 13 horticultural energy saving technologies developed by the Korea Rural Development Administration and simple economic analysis sub-program to predict the payback period of the technologies. Conclusion: The developed system was expected to be used as the basic equipment for an instructors of district Agricultural Technology and Extension Centers to conduct the energy consulting service for the farmers within the jurisdiction.

Unlike Urban building, horticultural facilities has a lot of heat loss through plastic or glass covering material which could be much influential to growing plant and consuming energy for heating greenhouse. In many cases, heat loss from a break of cover, a gap of joint sealing, the entrance to greenhouse and windows for ventilation are the main factors considered in calculating the heating load for horticultural facilities. however the normal observation through human eye and digital camera could not recognize where the heat loss occurred. but the infrared thermal image camera with detecting thermal difference could be very effective for noticing heat loss by analyzing infrared thermal image. In this study, greenhouse structure, covering material, internal and external provisions for Horticultural facilities were surveyed in different sites and Infrared thermal camera shooting and image analysis were performed for auditing heat loss from cultivation facilities The results from this study were that unexpected heat loss had been noticed in 7 representative cases of greenhouse such as side wall covered with single or double plastic, and the joint of horizontal thermal curtain, roof without horizontal thermal curtain, entrance to greenhouse, windows for ventilation. the most important factors for keeping heat energy were whether the horizontal thermal curtain with multifold thermal material was installed or not. The internal or external covering using multifold thermal curtain proved to be the most effective ways to keep heat energy from losing through heat transmission, heat radiation. from inside to outside the horticultural facilities.

건물의 사양으로부터 시뮬레이션에 의해 열성능을 추출하는 기법과 실측 데이타로 부터 연역적인 방법에 의해 열성능을 추출하는 기법을 연합시켜 단기간의 측정에 의해 건물의 열성능을 간단하고 정확하게 결정할 수 있는 기법을 Test cell에 적용하였다. 실험과정 및 자료분석은 PSTAR 기법에 따라 수행했다. 각 측정기간은 3일간으로 비거주 상태에서 측정했으며, 실내온도, 외기온, 일사량, 공급열량, 풍속, 상대습도등의 자료를 측정하여 건물의 사양에 의한 시뮬레이션 모델의 재표준화에 사용했다. 아래의 3개 주요계수들이 본 분석에 의해 얻어졌다. 1) 건물 열손실계수 : BLC(표면전도율+침기에 의한 전도율); 2) 유효 건물열용량; 3) 유효 태양열 획득량. 그리고 재표준화된 식으로부터 예측된 값과 건물의 사양으로 시뮬레이션에 의해 예측된 값과 측정된 값과의 비교를 통해 재표준화된 식이 실제건물의 열성능을 잘 묘사함을 알 수 있었다. 장기간의 외삽으로 기후 자료를 이용하여 표준 쾌적도를 유지하기 위해 필요한 에너지를 계산했다.
