This paper presents the temperature-pressure characteristics of SMH actuator using a peltier module. The simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source and a cylinder with metal bellows a functioning part has been developed. The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation and a compliance similar to that of the human body. A new special metal hydride(SMH) actuator that uses the reversible reaction between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing ally. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times as their own volume. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an electro-less copper plating has been carried out. The effects of the electro-less copper plating and the dynamic characteristics of the SMH actuator have been studied. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases and hydrogen is desorbed by heating the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. Therefor, the SMH actuator has the characteristic of being light and easy to use and so is suitable for use in medical and rehabilitation applications.

In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency has brought the positive effect in an economical view. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and it is also very harmful to residents because they spend over 90% of their time in the indoor area. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep indoor environment clean and it can also save energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type breathing wall is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. To make fine porous structures, polymer nano fibers which were made by electro spinning method are used as a precursor. The nano fibers are coated with SiO2 nano particles and finally the HEPA type breathing wall is made by sintering in the electric furnace at $300\sim500^{\circ}C$. The pressure drops of nano ceramic structure are 8.2, 25.5 and 44.9 mmAq at the face velocity of 2.0, 5.9 and 8.8 cm/s, respectively. Also the water vapor permeability is $3.6g/m^2{\cdot}h{\cdot}mmHg$. In this research, the porous nano ceramic structures are obtained and the possibility for the usage of a material for HEPA type breathing wall can be obtained.

The simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloys as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source, and a cylinder with metal bellows as a functioning part has been developed. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an assembly of copper pipes has been used. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times of their own volume. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases when hydrogen is desorbed by heating of the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. The new special metal hydride (SMH) actuator uses the reversible reaction between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing alloys. The desirable characteristics of SMH actuator, which makes it suitable for the uses in medical and rehabilitation applications, have been also studied. For this purpose, the characteristics of the new SMH actuator for different temperature, pressure, and external load were explored.

It has been a serious problem to consume the energy of apartment while increasing to use of heating & cooling System because of residence environmental upgrades. Great attention has been shown to the problem of the rental apartment, so there are few reports of energy consumption about the rental apartment in korea. To solve the lack of housing, our country has supplied an enormous volume of apartments, and these days it occupies 75% of our buildings. As apartments occupy most of our housings, the rate of energy usage from them are also high. On this, setting apartment energy reduction as a target, by researching the actual conditions of energy consumption and drawing a basis data, we can apply this as a way of saving energy, rationalization of the scale of energy supply facilities and a standard when planning facilities. To grasp the present condition of energy usage of the urban rental apartment, this research analysed the use of electricity, gas and water monthly and annually of a rental apartment that is located in Daegu. The results showed that in 2003 the electricity usage was 1,198MWh but 1,315MWh in 2007, which means 9% of electricity usage increases every year. The average of water usage was $85,072\;m^2$ per year and typical energy consumption unit was $604.2\;MJ/m^2$ on $74.4\;m^2$ of area and $448.8\;MJ/m^2$ on $105.8\;M^2$. By showing the usage of energy and water of the urban rental apartment, understanding the tendency and preparing an typical energy consumption unit standard through this research, apartments should use energy more efficiently.

Many government in the world have conducted building energy performance certification program to reduce building energy consumption. In this study, a reference building and its HVAC system was modeled, and the energy load and consumption were estimated by the ECO2 program. The software is a simple building energy simulation program based on monthly calculated method. The building energy efficiency rating the the reference building was 1+ under baseline condition. The simulation results showed that the insulation performance slightly affected building energy load and consumption, but light density had a significant effect on them. The application of geothermal heat pumps gave improvement of building energy efficiency rating but it could not make it possible to get zero energy building(ZEB) certification. The ZEB 5 certification could be achieved by using photovoltaics, however getting better grade was difficult. The simulation results showed that the ZEB 4 certification, one grade higher than ZEB 5, could be attained by using more than one renewable energy source such as geothermal and solar energy in this study.

지열은 고효율 신재생에너지로 각광을 받고 있으며 건축물의 냉난방 설비 시스템으로 활용이 점차 확산되고 있다. 지열 히트펌프 중에서 지하수를 열원으로 사용하는 단일심정(Standing column well)은 특히 효율이 높고 초기설치비용이 저렴하며 국내 지반 수리조건에 적합하다. 반면, 국내에는 아직 SCW의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 수치해석 모델이 없으며 국내 자료를 적용한 수치해석이 수행된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 SCW 수치해석 모델을 유한체적해석 프로그램을 이용하여 구축하였다. 수치적 모델은 수리 열 연계해석을 수행하여 열이류, 대류, 전도를 모두 모사한다. SCW 모델은 미국과 국내에서 계측된 현장 데이터를 통하여 검증하였다. 비교 결과 본 연구에서 구축된 수치해석 모델은 정확하게 SCW의 거동을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 검증된 수치해석 모델은 동반논문에서 매개변수연구에 활용되었다.

During a major solar eruption, the erupting plasma is possibly out of the equilibrium ionization state because of its rapid heating or cooling. The non-equilibrium ionization process is important in a rapidly evolving system where the thermodynamical time scale is shorter than the ionization or recombination time scales. We investigate the effects of non-equilibrium ionization on EUV and X-ray observations by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board Solar Dynamic Observatory and X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board Hinode. For the investigation, first, we find the emissivities for all the lines of ions of elements using CHIANTI 8.07, and then we find the temperature responses multiplying the emissivities by the effective area for each AIA and XRT passband. Second, we obtain the ion fractions using a time-dependent ionization model (Shen et al. 2015), which uses an eigenvalue method, for all the lines of ion, as a function of temperature, and a characteristic time scale, $n_et$, where $n_e$ and t are density and time, respectively. Lastly, the ion fractions are multiplied to the temperature response for each passband, which results in a 2D grid for each combination of temperature and the characteristic time scale. This is the set of passband responses for plasma that is rapidly ionized in a current sheet or a shock. We investigate an observed event which has a relatively large uncertainty in an analysis using a differential emission measure method assuming equilibrium ionization state. We verify whether the observed coronal plasmas are in non-equilibrium or equilibrium ionization state using the passband responses.

In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, the high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency, has brought economically positive effects. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and is also very harmful to the residents, because they spend over 90% of their time indoors. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep the indoor environment clean and it can also save the energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type nano ceramic filter is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. The double layer filter, which has $30{\mu}m$ in diameter at the conditions of 10wt% of concentration and 3kV/cm of the electric intensity, is produced by electrospinning. The filtration coating technology is confirmed in the solution with $SiO_2$ nano particles using polymer nano fibers. Also double layer filters are coated with $SiO_2$ nano particles and finally the porous construction materials are made by sintering in the electric furnace at $200{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$. The efficiency is measured 96.67% at the particle size of $0.31{\mu}m$, which is slightly lower than HEPA filter. However the efficiency is turned out to be sufficient.

The building construction sector has been blamed as the main culprit of environmental contamination worldwide. So, there shall be some constructive alternatives in architectural engineering. As one of the alternatives, the LEED ("Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design") has been introduced since 1990s and has been well recognized in saving the resources and energy. "LEED" has also been introduced in Korea since 2002 but it has not put priority on the eco-friendliness of indoor space. In this study, the international and domestic green systems were analyzed and compared in order to restructure the checklist for indoor space. Using the restructured checklists, the questionnaire were sent to 180 people using 6 office buildings which passed the domestic "LEED" certification. LEED certification system put priority on the air quality and heating/cooling environment in its evaluation section and items. However, according to the results of the study, it was found that the people using the buildings were not satisfied enough with the air environment of buildings along with their other indoor environment items. This shows that even though the office buildings are designed according to the requirements of LEED, the buildings do not meet the occupier's needs. In addition, it showed that the evaluation items should be improved so that they are useful to enhance the satisfaction of the occupiers' needs. The paper could be useful in establishing standard for eco friendliness of indoor space of office buildings which pass the LEED certification as the basic data for increasing energy efficiency and working efficiency of occupiers of the buildings.

대부분의 비즈니스에서는 고객의 움직임에 대한 의미 있는 정보를 얻어낼 수 있는 유동인구 계측 데이터가 매우 중요하게 작용한다. 슈퍼마켓의 경우, 손님들의 수에 따라 계산대 수를 늘리거나 줄일 수 있다. 스마트 빌딩 또한, 각 객실의 수용 인원에 따라 냉난방 시스템을 제어하는 스마트 컨트롤러 같이 다양하게 적용될 수 있다. 카메라 기반 유동인구 계측 시스템과 같이 첨단 기술을 활용하여 보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수도 있지만, 가격이 비싸고, 현장 설치가 어려우며, 사생활 침해의 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 특정 통로 혹은 IR 적외선 센서가 설치된 출입구의 유동인구 계측 방법을 제시한다. 나아가, 사람과 다른 물체를 구분하여 인식하는 방법을 제시하는데, 해당 솔루션은 저렴하고, 설치가 간편하며, 무엇보다 실시간 계측이 가능하다. 우리의 유동인구 계측 솔루션은 약 95%의 정확도를 보이고 있다.
