In this study, through the accumulated technologies such as real-time monitoring of power consumption using power line communication (PLC) method, power control, and automatic blocking of standby power, to commercialize them, we developed the hardware design, algorithm, protocol and module along with data transmission using PLC. We conducted the study to develop advanced products. We also proposed cloud-based smart outlet products with a novel type of outlet. These products can measure the internal power consumption through the H/W modules and the modules that control the power of household appliances connected to the smart outlets and smart plugs. Subsequently, they transmit the measurements to the energy saving system server via a communication module. This system can control the terminal device connected to the Gateway (G/W) server through a mobile phone. This will allow the customer to check the power consumption of the building at any given time, to turn the terminal on/off, and to maximize the energy efficiency during the construction of new apartments or multi-family housing in an area.

It is currently agreed upon that one of the major challenges in the construction industry is the energy efficiency of existing buildings. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and United Nations (UN) have reported that the concentration of global atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by an average of 50%, a record speed, from 2015 to 2016. The housing sector contributes to 45% of the UK's carbon emissions. To help tackle some of those issues the recast Energy Performance Building Directive (EBPD) has introduced Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) in the coming years (including buildings that will undergo refurbishment/renovations). This paper will explore the retrofitting of a UK residential dwelling using Thermal Analysis Simulation (TAS, EDSL) software by focusing on building fabric improvements and usage of on-site renewables. The CIBSE Test Reference Year (TRY) weather data has been selected to examine the performance of the building under current and future climate projections. The proposed design variables were finally implemented in the building altogether on TAS. The simulation results showed a reduction in the building's annual energy consumption of $122.64kWh/m^2$ (90.24%). The greatest savings after this were achieved for the annual reduction in carbon emissions and avoided emissions, which were 84.59% and $816.47kg/CO_2$, respectively.

At present, many countries are trying to reduce green gas emissions to mitigate the effects of these gases on climate change. Year after year, there have been efforts to cut energy use for heating and cooling. Heating and cooling systems, common in all forms of housing, are increasing due to the constant supply of new housing resulting from improvements in economic growth and the quality of life. Thus, studies related to the design of cooling and heating systems to improve energy efficiency are expanding. Among the new designs, radiant floor cooling and heating systems which use capillary tubes are becoming viable means of reducing energy use. Radiant floor cooling and heating systems which use capillary tubes are creative and sustainable systems in which cool and hot water is circulated into capillary tube which has small diameter. In this study, the cooling and heating performance of this type of capillary tube system is investigated in an experimental study and a simulation using TRNSYS. The results of the experimental study show that under a peak load, a capillary tube radiant floor cooling system using geothermal energy can achieve desired indoor temperature without an additional heat source. The set room air temperature is maintained while the floor surface temperature, PMV and PPD remain within the comfort range. Also, this system is more economic than a packaged air conditioner system due to its higher COP. The results of the simulation show that the capillary tube radiant floor heating system maintains set temperature more stable than a PB pipe radiant floor heating system due to its lower supply temperature of hot water. In terms of energy consumption, the capillary tube radiant floor heating system is more efficient than the PB pipe radiant floor heating system.

Compared to Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning Systems, Radiant Cooling Systems have the advantage of energy saving and thermal comfort. Thermally Activated Building System (TABS) is one of the radiant heating and cooling systems. The main difference between TABS and other radiant systems lies in the usage of the time-lag effect of storing heat energy in the concrete. Current energy usage in summer time is concentrated within a specific time by using Packaged Terminal Air-Conditioner (PTAC). Due to the time-lag effect of TABS, energy usage can be distributed to other time zones. To maximize this effect, it is important to determine the appropriate operating mode, which for TABS is dependent upon the cooling load generated by the occupancy schedule. In this study, occupancy schedules are determined for various residential types. The operating modes of TABS for these residential types are estimated by using a dynamic computational simulation method. The results indicate that the operating modes of TABS can be determined by residential type and occupancy schedule. The load handled ratio by TABS is set up differently according to the cooling load profile obtained from residential type and occupancy schedule. By using TABS, energy consumption could be reduced by 20% compared to PTAC.

The aim of this study was to present the direction of sustainable urban regeneration through the study of planning characteristics of urban regeneration reflected upon 'SymbioCity' concepts. This study was carried out through theoretical review and case study. In the theoretical review, the theory of 'SymbioCity', one of Sweden's representative urban development models linked to the concept of sustainable development, was reviewed and the framework was derived based on this theory. The framework of this study was finally derived from 'energy', 'ecology and environment', and 'historical and cultural resources'. The case study was conducted by selecting three urban regeneration projects($V{\ddot{a}}strahamnen$ BO01, Royal seaport and HafenCity Hamburg) in Sweden and Germany. Based on the results of case analysis, the direction of sustainable urban regeneration is as follows. First, in terms of energy, we should pay attention to synergy between energy and waste and energy production. Second, in terms of ecology and environment, plans should be made to maximize the use of existing resources in order to conserve natural resources and reduce energy consumption and economic costs. Third, in terms of historical and cultural resources, it is necessary to consider ways to preserve and recycle existing buildings with historical and cultural values. Finally, for the successful application of the planning elements, it is necessary to find the most appropriate application method through steady R&D in the country or project unit.

2015년 파리 기후 협약을 시작으로 나라별로 국가 온실가스 감축 목표를 제시하고 실행하기로 합의하였다. 이에 따라 대한민국 정부는 건물 부문에서 온실가스 배출량 32.8% 감축을 목표로 설정하였다. 이를 위해 국토교통부는 2020년부터 공공건축물 그린리모델링 사업을 통해 노후 건축물의 에너지효율 강화를 추진하고 있다. 노후 건축물의 에너지 절감을 위한 그린리모델링 공사에는 패시브 및 액티브 요소의 필수공사와 선택공사가 있다. 그러나 현재는 패시브와 액티브 시스템의 통합설계가 부족하며 건축물의 노후도에 따른 적용 요소들의 우선순위에 대한 기준이 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 노후 건축물 중 많은 사람들의 이용이 가능하며 에너지 사용량이 높을 것으로 예상되는 중부 2지역에 위치한 공공도서관 6개소를 선정하였다. 공공도서관은 준공년도에 따라 Model 1~3으로 구분하였으며 각각 1980년대, 1990년대, 2000년대 준공된 건물이다. Model 1~3의 ECO2-OD를 통한 시뮬레이션 분석으로 1차 에너지소요량 절감률에 따른 상위 3개의 우선순위를 도출했다.

Due to reinforcement of international environment regulation and high oil prices, interest in renewable energy is growing. Countries participating in UNFCCC are continuously putting efforts in reducing greenhouse gas after enforcing Kyoto Protocol into effect on Feb, 2005. Energy used in buildings, which relies heavily on fossil fuel accounts for about 24% of total energy consumption. In this study, air, geothermal and water source heat pump systems for an 322 $m^2$ auditorium in an office building is simulated using TRNSYS version 17 for comparing energy consumptions. The results show that energy consumptions of air, geothermal and water source heat pumps are 14,485, 10,249, and 10,405 kWh, respectively. Annual equal payments which consider both initial and running costs become 5,734,521, 6,403,257 and 5,596,058 Won. Thus, water source heat pump is the best economical choice.

음식물쓰레기의 발생량과 자원화 의향에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하고자 최근 건설된 공동주택 단지에 거주하는 주부 300명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 설문지는 SPSS window version 18.0 통계분석 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계와 추리통계를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과, 공동주택 단지의 주부들은 일반적으로 대형마트를 이용하여 식재료를 구매하고 있었으며, 음식물쓰레기를 버리는 주된 이유는 장기보관으로 인한 손상 및 부패였다. 계절에 따른 음식물쓰레기 종류가 달랐으며, 이는 식생활과 밀접하였다. 요인분석을 통해 음식물쓰레기 발생단계를 식재료 구매, 음식 소비 및 조리, 음식물쓰레기 배출 등 3가지로 나뉘어 음식물쓰레기 발생량과 자원화 의향 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 발생량에 미치는 영향 요인은 음식물쓰레기 수거단계 특성이었으며, 음식물쓰레기 자원화 의향에 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인은 식재료 구매단계 특성이었다. 즉, 음식물쓰레기 발생량은 단지 내 음식물쓰레기 수거환경이 양호할수록 증가하였고, 음식물쓰레기 자원화는 사전구매계획이 미비할수록 쓰레기 발생을 높았다. 따라서, 쓰레기 종량제 실시에도 불구하고 식생활 문화와 생활수준 향상에 따른 음식의 과소비는 여전하므로, 발생된 음식물쓰레기의 자원화 기술 개발과 제도적 지원을 보다 적극적으로 모색해야 할 것이다.

As the seriousness of the climate crisis is emphasized, movements to solve it are becoming active. In Korea, efforts to reduce environmental impacts across all industries are being strengthened through the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth. The construction industry predicts the environmental impact of buildings during the entire life cycle, but in the construction process, there is a difference in energy usage depending on the amount of input, and it is difficult to predict the environmental impact if data cannot be collected. Therefore, this study evaluated the environmental impact of energy usage in the apartment construction process as part of the study on predicting and reducing the environmental impact of the construction process of the construction site. To this end, the environmental effects of buildings were set as global warming, resource consumption, and ozone layer effects, and the environmental effects of the actual energy use in the case were evaluated. In addition, based on the evaluation results, the characteristics of the input energy usage were compared and analyzed.
