Objectives: Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a severe type of pneumonia caused by inhalation of aerosols contaminated with Legionella. On September 22, 2016, a single case of LD was reported from a newly built apartment building in Gyeonggi province. This article describes an epidemiologic investigation of LD and identification of the possible source of infection. Methods: To identify the source of LD, we interviewed the patient's husband using a questionnaire based on the Legionella management guidelines from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Water samples from the site were collected and analyzed. An epidemiological investigation of the residents and visitors in the apartment building was conducted for 14 days before the index patient's symptoms first appeared to 14 days after the implementation of environmental control measures. Results: Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was isolated from the heated-water samples from the patient's residence and the basement of the apartment complex. Thirty-two suspected cases were reported from the apartment building during the surveillance period, yet all were confirmed negative based on urinary antigen tests. Conclusions: The likely source of infection was the building's potable water, particularly heated water. Further study of effective monitoring systems in heated potable water should be considered.

Adjacent housing units suffer inevitable thermal losses if an unheated unit exists in an apartment building. Thermal loss of the units adjoining the unheated apartment can be neglected because the contact area is small and insulators are located in the walls. When insulators are not included in the slab between the upper and lower units, 70% of the heat supplied by an Ondol system may be used in the original unit, but 30% is transferred to the unit on the lower floor. Another 30% can be obtained from the ceiling if the upper floor housing unit is heated. This strong thermal connection is a characteristic of Ondol heating in apartment buildings. When there is an unheated unit, the lower floor unit uses 42.3% more heating energy if there is no insulation and 19.5% if a 35 mm insulator is used as in the current guidelines. Therefore, much thicker insulation should be applied to weaken the thermal connection.

Concern about global environment has been increasing in recent years. Efforts to minimize the environmental impact to the globe as well as human beings have increased, especially in the late twentieth century. The study researches one of the solutions for the environmentally friendly building construction, which can contribute to sustaining the world environment. Assessment and proposals are made for high-rise apartments, one of the most popular construction types nowadays in Korea. Careful building design and construction for apartment buildings could reduce the environmental impact significantly without lowering standards of living. Since the volume of high-rise apartment construction is so great, a small improvement in each building will make a great contribution. Assessments are made over the life-span of apartment buildings. A tool has been made through references from western examples. mainly from BHEEAMs made in the United Kingdom. The components of the tool include passive design strategies, building materials. energy consumption during building operation, and management and maintenance. Co-relationship between buildings and ten environment in Korea is searched. Korean high-rise apartments are assessed with the tool and suggestions for sustainable development are made mainly for improvement of embodied energy of building materials and the life of buildings.

공동주택의 비중이 점차 확대되고, 고층화되는 추세에 따라 공동주택 유지관리의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이러한 필요성에 의해 최근 기존 건축물의 종합성능 평가모델이 개발되었으나, 업무의 분석이 미흡한 한계가 있다 따라서 본 연구는 공동주택 유지관리 성능평가의 기반이 되는 유지관리 업무를 분석하여 성능평가 대상항목 도출을 목적으로 한다. 유지관리 성능평가 후보항목은 기존문헌과 업무체계를 분석하여 도출하였고, 학계 전문가 및 주택관리사를 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 성능평가의 용이성, 체계성을 보완하였다. 최종적으로 결정된 성능평가 대상항목은 운영적 유지관리 성능평가 항목 14개와 기술적 유지관리 성능평가 항목 15개 항목이다.

군인아파트 리모델링 사업은 국방부의 군주거개선 사업의 일환으로 현재 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 하지만 군인아파트 리모델링 사업 추진 시 체계적인 프로세스의 미흡, 예산의 부족, 전문 인력의 부족 등으로 사업 진행이 순탄하지만은 않다. 특히, 리모델링 사업의 예산은 사용부대 리모델링 소요제기 예산의 일부가 삭감되어 지급되기 때문에 당초 사용부대가 계획한 많은 부분의 공사가 누락되고 있는 실정이다. 이는 곧 건물의 품질 저하와 리모델링 후 입주하게 될 입주자들의 불만으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 AHP기법을 활용한 전문가와 거주자들의 설문을 통해 리모델링 사업 시 항목별 중요도를 분석하고 우선순위를 결정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of the study is to examine how the apartment housing became common and how it became the main structure type of housing in Korea, as well as the social backgrounds. The study also focuses on how such phenomenon caused the housing problems which become social problems, and how new trials in terms of housing supply were performed to provide solutions to meet various housing needs of households. The purpose was accomplished by the examination of related literature since the liberation from Japan in 1945 to the early 1990s. In fact, it was uncommon to have apartment housing as the main figure of housing style. However, it became the major housing culture in Korea. Even if there have been lots of blames for apartment housing for last forty years, they were able to settle in Korea. Major reasons for such phenomenon include desperate needs for a larger quantity of housing due to industrialization, urbanization, etc.

In responding to the recent framework convention on climate change, and the rise of the need for energy efficient buildings, such as Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB), domestic insulation standards and energy conservation regulations are being reinforced, to prevent heat loss. Accordingly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport have made amendments in Chapter 21 "Enforcement regulations for building facilities standards etc.", and Chapter 22 "Energy conservation standard", to reflect these changes. To effectively implement these regulations, it is required to propose air-tightness test methods, and establish air-tightness standards, based on the air leakage characteristics of domestic apartment housings. This research has been done primarily to collect basic technical data, to provide guidance for the establishment of domestic air-tightness standards for new apartment housing, through studying air-tightness test methods, field measurement on air-tightness of new apartment housings, and air leakage characteristics of major developed countries.

This study focuses on the analysis of the cooling and heating load in accordance with apartment houses arrangement type using Ecotect Analysis. Korea have to reduce energy consumption part of building except in industry and transport because the rate of dependence on imports amounts to 94%, Apartment houses built in various forms in order to reduce energy are modelled in each window area ratio, shape, orientation, and climate through simulation. Through this study, we can analyze the cooling and heating load by form, window area ratio, orientation, and climate change and know the optimal elements by the form. In particular, although there have been done research on the window area ratio and the arrangement form, the research of the regional climate characteristics and the direction are hardly carried out. To supplement those problem, adding to seven direction and climatic element of southern region is characteristic(L Type, Y Type, - Type) of this study. The form of apartment houses built 10 years ago is modelled for simulation.

The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the range of dwellers and the use of pattern in public common space for dwellers of high-rised apartment of staircase type and gallery type. Also, it is to ascertain the relationship between extent of neighborhood and community awareness. The results were as follows. The term of habitation of most apartment dwellers surveyed were relatively short and most of dwellers had a small family that having a minor children.'Relational association with their neighbor in apartment of staircase type was happened between families that use the same entrance and elevator and it in gaiter type was happened inside the family. But intimacy rate and range of interest were not that high additively, int the case needs a conversation with neighbor, it happened in individual entrance and elevator hall rather than inside the house and exterior area.
