This paper proposes a method for fabricating heatable glass using the conduction characteristics of metal thin films deposited on the surface of Low-e(Low emissivity) glass. The heating value of Low-e glass depends on the Joule heat caused by Low-e glass sheet resistance. Hence, its prediction and design are possible by measuring the sheet resistance of the material. In this study, silver electrodes were placed at 50 mm intervals on a soft Low-e glass sample with a low emissivity layer of 11 nm. This study measured the sheet resistance using a 4-point probe, predicted the power consumption and heating value of the Low-e glass, and confirmed the heating performance through fabrication and experience. There are two conventional methods for manufacturing heatable glass. One is a method of inserting nichrome heating wire into normal glass, and the other is a method of depositing a conductive transparent thin film on normal glass. The method of inserting nichrome heating wire is excellent in terms of the heating performance, but it damages the transparency of the glass. The method for depositing a conductive transparent thin film is good in terms of transparency, but its practicality is low because of its complicated process. This paper proposes a method for manufacturing heatable glass with the desired heating performance using Low-e glass, which is used mainly to improve the insulation performance of a building. That is by emitting a laser beam to the conductive metal film coated on the entire surface of the Low-e glass. The proposed method is superior in terms of transparency to the conventional method of inserting nichrome heating wire, and the manufacturing process is simpler than the method of depositing a conductive transparent thin film. In addition, the heat characteristics were compared according to the patterning of the surface thin film of the Low-e glass by an emitting laser and the laser output conditions suitable for Low-e glass.

최근, 대외적으로 기후변화협약 등 환경에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 국내에서도 온실가스 배출이 큰 에너지의 22.3%를 소비하고 있는 건축물로 인한 환경부하에 관심이 높아지며 고효율 창호의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존의 Low-E (저방사) 유리는 적외선을 반사시켜 단열 유리로서 겨울철에 유리하지만, 건물 전면에 약 50~95% 창호가 사용되는 office 건물에는 여름철 냉방에너지를 많이 사용하기 때문에 단열뿐만 아니라 일사 차폐가 가능한 근적외선 차폐유리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 Low-E 유리의 문제점인 근적외선 투과문제를 해결하기 위한 기술로서 근적외선 영역을 선택적으로 차폐할 수 있는 박막코팅 물질(흡수체, 반사체) 및 Low-E 대체용 Themochromic 등 나노 박막을 RF magnetron sputtering으로 제조하여 복층유리 구조로 조합해 UV-visible을 측정하였으며 IR Lamp와 태양광 아래에서 온도변화 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 기존 Low-E 복층유리 대비 본 실험에서 사용한 복층유리의 근적외선 차폐효율이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

In houses that use heating and cooling system, most of heat loss occurs through the windows, so that low-E glass, double-layered glass, and vacuum glazing are used to minimize the heat loss. In this paper, an encapsulating process that is a final process in manufacturing the vacuum glazing has been studied, and bonding in a vacuum chamber rather than atmospheric bonding was considered. For the efficiency of the encapsulating process, frit-melting temperature and bonding time were optimized with heater temperature, and the glass preheating temperature was optimized to prevent glass breakage due to thermal stress. Thus the vacuum glass was successfully manufactured based on these results and heat transmission coefficient measured was about $5.7W/m^2K$ which indicates that the internal pressure of the vacuum glazing is $10^{-2}$ torr.

Glassy carbon can be utilized in a variety of harsh environment due to exceptional thermal stability and chemically impermeability along with scalability and low electrical resistance. In this work, we studied effects of electron(e)-beam irradiation on thermoelectric properties of the glassy carbon film. E-beam irradiation triggered local crystallization and/or amorphization of glassy carbon thin films, which was determined by a Raman spectroscopy. The structural change by e-beam irradiation leads to the change in the doping level of the glassy carbon, which can be inferred from the change of a Seebeck coefficient and an electric conductivity. The optimal power factor we obtained for the irradiated glassy carbon film was ~200% higher than that of the non-irradiated sample.

The glass of E-glass fiber composition was fabricated by using refused coal ore which is obtained as by-product from Dogye coal mine in Samcheok. We used silica-alumina refused coal ore which has low carbon content relatively, and the amount of refused coal ore has been changed from 0 to 35 % in batch composition. E-glass was fabricated by the melting of mixed batch materials at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs with different refused coal ore composition of 0~35 %. We obtained a transparent and clear glass with high visible light transmittance value of 81~84%, thermal expansion coefficient of $5.39{\sim}5.61{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ and softening point of $851{\sim}860^{\circ}C$. The glass fiber samples were also obtained through fiberizing equipment at $1150^{\circ}C$, and tested chemical resistance and tensile strength to evaluate the mechanical property as a reinforced glass fiber of composite material. As the result, we identified the properties of E-glass fiber by using refused coal ore are plenty good enough compare to that of normal E-glass without refused coal ore, and confirmed the possibility of refused coal ore as for the raw material of E-glass fiber.

As the exterior of building has been considered one of th important parts, the use of glass that is suitable to express various appearances gets raised. However, windows have 6~7times lower insulating performance than insulated walls. Lately, highly efficient windows are required as the needs for reduction of energy consumption come to the force. Therefore, Nowadays more people use cooling systems in summer, more the use of Low-E glazing is increasing. Because it is good to block Solar Radiant Energy which can cause much of heat loss while cooling system is working. This study measures U-value of the double Low-E glazing window and commonly used single Low-E glazing window. And then the effect of each window on the efficiency rating has been analyzed applying to the certification system of the building energy efficiency rating which has implemented.

Apartment balcony has been indiscreetly remodeled since the government permitted remodeling on January 2006. But remodeled balcony has a few problems such as increase of heating energy, surface condensation and cold draft. The reason of thermal problem is mainly caused by the window system in a extended balcony. The purpose of this study is to analyze heating and cooling energy and propose the efficient window types for the extended balcony area of a apartment building. 4 types of window system which have fairly high U value in Korea are investigated as follows ; double clear glass, double low-e glass, triple clear glass and triple low-e glass. Comparing double clear 91ass with double low-e glass, triple clear glass and triple low-e glass, simulation results show that 10%, 7% and 15% saving of total primary energy can be expected.

Commercial AR(Alkali Resistant)-glass fiber has a good chemical resistant property, but also has a problem of difficulty in fiberizing process because of high viscosity in melted glass compare with E-glass fiber which is the most widely used for reinforced fiber of composite materials. In this study, we fabricated AR-glass fiber with low zirconia contents compare with commercial AR-glass fiber relatively, and measured properties against E-glass fiber. We obtained transparent clear glass with zirconia contents of 0.5~16 wt% by melting at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. These AR-glass samples had high visible transmittance of 89~90 %, softening temperature of $703{\sim}887^{\circ}C$. And softening temperatures of them were increased according to the increasing zirconia contents. Compare with E-glass, AR-glass contains 4 wt% zirconia has different value of $-94^{\circ}C$ in softening temperature, $+68^{\circ}C$ at Log3 temperature and $-13^{\circ}C$ at Log5 temperature in viscosity. We could verify good alkali resistant property of the AR-glass fiber with SEM after dipping in alkali solution for 48~72 hours, and also high tensile strength, 1.7 times compare with E-glass fiber at 48 hours and 2.2 times at 72 hours. We conclude that this AR-glass fiber can be widely used as general alkali resistant glass fiber because of easy manufacturing condition and good properties even though it has low zirconia contents.
