Heat pump systems for commercial building with variable refrigerant flow(VRF) are expanding a market due to high energy efficiency, lower maintenance cost and easy installation comparing with the conventional heat pump with the constant refrigerant flow. In general, heat pump systems degrade the energy efficiency in the extremely low temperature regions. In this study, VRF heat pump system with refrigerant heating is experimentally investigated to overcome the low heating performance in the extremely low temperature regions. VRF heat pump system with refrigerant heating is found out the sufficient heating performance in the -25 degree temperature condition comparing with the conventional heat pump system and is obtained more than 2,500 kPa high pressure in the evaporator at low temperature.

Structure Insulated Panel (SIP) is an wooden structure material with which structure and insulation functions are satisfied. Hence, it would be a cost-effective model to implement low energy house which has higher insulation and structure performance and which the wall thickness is able to be reduced. In this study, performance of thermal insulation and fire resistance were evaluated in order to verify applicability to low energy house. Fire resistance test is performed on vertical load bearing members for partitions, and the test results satisfy one hour of fire resistance condition according to KS F 2257. The members include two layers of fireproof gypsum board with thicknesses of 12.5mm attached to SIP. Thermal insulation performance is satisfied with the 2012 standard ($0.225W/m^2{\cdot}K$). As the performance of resistance and thermal insulation are satisfied, SIP is expected to be applied to low energy building materials. In the future, the structural safety will be confirmed by structural performance and seismic performance test and the guidelines for distribution will be drawn up.

Low-grade heats are wasted even though an amount of their energy is huge. In the small and medium industrial complex sites, large amount of low-grade thermal energy generated during the manufacturing process is wasted if it is not used directly for building heating or air-conditioning. In order to utilize this waste thermal energy more efficiently, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) was adopted. The range of operating temperature of ORC was set to $60^{\circ}C$ from $30^{\circ}C$ applicable low-temperature waste heat. A study was conducted to select an appropriate organic working fluid based on these operating conditions. More than 60 working fluids were screened. Eleven working fluids were selected based on the requirements as working fluid for ORC such as environmentally friendly, safety, and good operation on the expander. Finally, six working fluids were selected by considering the operating temperature ranges. Then, a cycle analysis was conducted with these six working fluids. As a results, R-245fa and R-134a appeared as appropriate working fluids for ORC operating at low-temperature condition based on the system efficiency and the turbine output power.

Thermal comfort and energy conservation are critical issues in the building sector. Energy consumption in the building sector should be reduced whilst enhancing the thermal comfort of occupants. Concrete is the most widely used construction material in buildings. Its thermal conductivity (k-value) has a direct effect on thermal comfort perception. This study aims to find the optimum value of replacing the normal aggregate with lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) under high strengths and low thermal conductivity, density and water absorption. The k-value of the LECA concrete and its physical and mechanical properties have varying correlations. Results indicate that the oven-dry density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and k-value of concrete decrease when normal coarse aggregates are replaced with LECA. However, water absorption (initial and final) increases. Thermal conductivity and the physical and mechanical properties have a strong correlation. The statistical optimisation of the experimental data shows that the 39% replacement of normal coarse aggregate by LECA is the optimum value for maximising the compressive and splitting tensile strengths whilst maintaining the k-value, density and water absorption at a minimum.

최근 유가 상승과 건물 에너지 소비 증가는 에너지 자원 해외 의존도가 높은 우리나라에 큰 부담이 되고 있다. 이런 상황에서 에너지 소비량의 40% 수준을 차지하는 빌딩건물의 에너지절감은 매우 중요한 이슈가 되는데, 본 연구는 ICT를 활용하여 건물에너지 소비량 및 전력사용요금 절감을 하는 최적제어방법을 구현한 실증 분석을 병원을 대상으로 수행하였다. 먼저 기존의 냉난방용 흡수식 냉온수기와 급탕용 보일러시설 일부를 수축열 히트펌프로 대체하고 사용하는 요금제의 조정을 통해 에너지소비량을 줄이고 요금을 절감하였다. 여기에 환경(외기온도, 사용량 증감 등) 변화를 고려한 ICT 기반 최적제어 기능을 추가적으로 적용함으로 기존 설비 대체 중심의 에너지절감 방법과 ICT 기반의 최적제어방법까지 고려한 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 병원 대상의 최적제어방법은 에너지효율화 설비 적용으로 인한 절감량(53.6%)에 최적자동제어 효과(18.2%)까지 추가적으로 절감할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 건물 에너지 절감 성과를 높이는 다양한 방안을 검토해 볼 수 있을 것이다.

As well-known, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a powerful tool for parameter identification with limited measurements. However, traditional EKF is not applicable when the external excitation is unknown. By using least-squares estimation (LSE) for force identification, an EKF with unknown input (EKF-UI) approach was recently proposed by the authors. In this approach, to ensure the influence matrix be of full column rank, the sensors have to be deployed at all the degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) corresponding to the unknown excitation, saying collocated measurements are required. However, it is not easy to guarantee that the sensors can be installed at all these locations. To circumvent this limitation, based on the idea of first-order-holder discretization (FOHD), an improved EKF with unknown input (IEKF-UI) approach is proposed in this study for the simultaneous identification of structural parameters and unknown excitation. By using projection matrix, an improved observation equation is obtained. Few displacement measurements are fused into the observation equation to avoid the so-called low-frequency drift. To avoid the ill-conditioning problem for force identification without collocated measurements, the idea of FOHD is employed. The recursive solution of the structural states and unknown loads is then analytically derived. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated via several numerical examples. Results show that the proposed approach is capable of satisfactorily identifying the parameters of linear and nonlinear structures and the unknown excitation applied to them.

건설 분야 중 건설 재료와 건자재 산업에서 발생하는 $CO_2$는 약 6,700만톤으로 건설 분야에서 발생하는 $CO_2$의 약 30%를 점유하고 있다. 건설 분야에서 $CO_2$ 저감은 건자재 산업에서 $CO_2$를 발생시키는 2차, 3차 양생을 줄여 소비되는 화석연료 사용과 배출 가스 저감의 조절이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 저에너지양생용 혼합재(Low energy curing Admixture 이하 LA)를 압출성형패널에 적용한 후 그 혼입량, 섬유종류, 섬유 혼입율에 따른 물리적 특성을 관찰하였다. 섬유종류가 강도에 영향을 나타내는 주요한 인자는 아닌 것으로 나타났으며, LA 혼입율과 섬유 혼입량은 강도에 영향을 주는 주요한 인자인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 LA 혼입율 dl 40% 일 때 가장 높은 강도발현을 나타냈으며, 50% 인 시험체의 경우 강도가 하락하는 결과를 나타냈다, 또한 섬유 혼입율은 휨강도에 크게 영향을 주었으며 혼입율이 증가할수록 휨강도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

지구온난화 및 기후 변화에 따른 재난, 이상기온, 질병 등 각종 사회 문제들이 대두됨에 따라, 에너지 절감 및 효율화를 위한 기술 개발이 증대되고 있다. 주택, 상업건물, 공공 건물 분야에서 소비되는 에너지는 우리나라 전체 에너지 사용의 22%를 차지함에 따라, 건물에너지 절감은 전체 에너지 절감에서 매우 중요한 요소이며, 이를 위한 방안이 추진되고 있다. 기존의 건물에서는 에너지 효율화를 위해 열 손실에 대한 대책 마련 및 에너지 저소비형 장비 사용 등의 수동적 방법을 사용하였으나, 최근에는 ICT 기술과 융합하여 에너지 사용의 측정, 모니터링, 통제를 통해 지속적으로 에너지 낭비 요소를 감지 및 제거하는 방식의 건물 에너지 효율화를 위한 능동적 기술이 대두되고 있다. 에너지 효율화를 이용하여 에너지 절감 장비를 사용하더라도, 낭비 상황을 제어하지 않으면 실질적이고 지속적인 에너지 절감 효과를 달성하기 어렵게 된다. 이 논문에서는 국내외 건물 에너지 효율화를 위한 기술 개발 현황을 소개하고, 능동적 에너지 절감을 위한 이슈를 고찰한다.

In Korea, air source heat pump system is less efficient than conventional heat source facilities, such as ground source, river water, because the air temperature in winter season is so low that COP of air source heat pump system drops below 3.0. Therefore, the study on the application of heat pump heating and cooling systems is crucial for the efficient popularization of heat pump. In this work, we present the dynamic analysis of energy consumption for the large resident building by heat resistance-capacitance method. The system simulation of water storage air source heat pump is additionally performed by changing of sizes and locations of the hospital building. The computed results show that energy cost of water storage air source heat pump is low, so it is more economical than absorption chiller & heater.
