In the low velocity displacement air-conditioning system, the conditioned air is supplied from the diffuser placed on the wall near the floor and vented near the ceiling. This system has some advantages upon the traditional mixing system; the air quality near the people is improved by the displacing action of the system and the energy may be saved by neglecting the cooling or heating load for the upper space of the space above the people. This study is to examine the temperature and velocity distributions in the room and near the diffuser. It is found that the temperature is stratified uniformly all over the room space to show the displacing function of the system.

It is well known that during the oxygen cutting process residual thermal stresses are produced in weldment. The local non-uniform heating and subsequent cooling which takes place during any welding process causes complex thermal strains and stresses to finally lead to residual stresses exceed to the yield stress. High tensile stresses combined with applied structural load in the region near the welded joint can given rise to distortion brittle fracture change of the fatigue strength and stress corrosion cracking. The appropriate treatment of the welded component which reduces the peak of he welding residual stresses is believed to lower risk of the fracture during the service of the structure. In this study the impact loading in oxygen cutting frame was applied to reduce the residual stress. After applying the impact loading redistribution of resid-ual stress was measured by cutting method and the effect of fatigue was tested.

In an apartment house In Korea, the balcony is one of the important spaces as a buffer zone for controlling the outdoor environments such as noise, heating & cooling load, humidity etc. Because most areas of building facade in apartment building occupy the area of balcony window the sound Insulation design of It Is very Important to provide the quiet indoor environment. The aim of this research is to evaluate the sound insulation of balcony windows in apartment building by new and revised Korean Industrial Standards. We measured and studied the sound insulations of 18 balcony windows by the type of measuring methods, noise sources, correction of reverberation time in balcony and so on. The results show that the single-number quantities for sound insulation of windows are ranged from 24 dB to 30 dB.

Building Integrated PV(BIPV) is one of the best fascinating PV application technologies. To apply PV module in building, various factors should be reflected such as installation position, shading, temperature, and so on. Especially a temperature should be considered, for it affects both electrical efficiency of a PV module and heating/cooling load in a building. It reports the effect of thermal characteristics of the PV module on generation performance. The study was performed by monitoring the temperature and experiment. The results showed that 1 degree temperature rise reduced about 0.48% of output power.

This study has been carried out to develop a thermo-diode system capable of adjusting heat flow direction, solar absorptivity and thermal capacity. What we call "Smart Module" here has emerged from a series of repeated processes involving design, construction and test. In all, it is found that liquid thermo-diode systems are viable in harnessing the sun's energy. The module can be applied for space heating in winter and reduce the cooling load of buildings in summer.

The conflict between indoor environmental quality and energy consumption has become an unneglectable problem for highrise office buildings, where occupants' productivity is highly affected by their working environment. An effective Façade, therefore, should play the role of an active building skin by adapting to the ever-changing external environment and internal requirements. This paper explores the energy-saving and indoor environment-improving potential of a phase-change material (PCM) integrated Façade. Building performance simulations, combined with parametric study and sensitivity analysis, are adopted in this research. The result quantifies the potential of a PCM-integrated Façade with different configurations and PCM properties, taking as an example a south-oriented typical office room in Shanghai. It is found that a melting temperature of around $22^{\circ}C$ for the PCM layer is optimal. Compared to a conventional Façade, a PCM-integrated Façade effectively reduces total energy use, peak heating/cooling load, and operative temperature fluctuation during the periods of May-July and November-December.

In this study, it is quantitatively analyzed for thermal Characteristics of isolation-heat paint which has been supplied to a domestic market through experiments and simulations. In the case of experiment using the container box, it shows 8% decrease on cooling energy consumption in a summer season, but shows increase on heating energy consumption. As a result, the analysis has found increase of energy consumption. As a result of holding simulations with meteorological data of domestic major cities, it shows an increase of energy consumption in domestic condition, and it is hard to expect an energy saving from the isolation-heat paint unless greater air-conditioning load.

A solar hot water storage tank was designed and constructed to examine the heat exchange performances on load side for the solar thermal storage in a single loop solar water heating system. In the tank helically coiled tube was immersed. The hot water was circulated from either top or bottom. The circulation flow rate was varied from 500 ml/min to 20,000 ml/min. The effect of flow rate was observed. The thermal performances according to the flow rate and flow direction were examined. The temperature distributions in the tank and inside of the tubes were plotted along the process of cooling.

This study is focused on the development and selection of the optimal cool tube system to maximize its thermal performance. Cool tube is devised to reduce the heating and cooling load of building by preheating or refreshing of intake air with buried pipes. Finite volume method is adopted to solve the conduction problem between the cool tube and earth. We examine the cool tube system for two operating periods, a short term(12 hours) and a long term(3 months). The results of short term operations reveal that condensation significantly influences and raises the exit air temperature. For long term operations, optimum conditions of cool tube system are obtained with variations of flow-rate, depth, length and diameter of cool tube.

Building exterior wall's energy loss is very high rate comparing to all part of a buildings. And it account for upper 40% of cooling and heating load. So many studies conducted improving insulation performance of building's exterior, appeared about sandwich insulation wall which could be gaining merit of traditional insulation method those are exterior insulation and interior insulation. In this study, we inform structural performance of sandwich insulation wall for RC wall. For this, first, we define each wall's role and design sandwich insulation wall. At last, analyze structural performance of sandwich insulation wall. This study can contribute to apply it safely where side wall which toilet, stair area, etc.
