LED is expected as an environmentally friendly next generation light source with its good reliability and long lifetime. The light sources for illumination have a variety of applications in the indoor and outdoor, and the variation of optical power and color rendering of the light source limits their applications. Therefore, it is necessary to research the LED lamp and its luminaire to minimize the variation of dynamic characteristics and to improve the color rendering due to that illuminating environment. Daylight is very good light source to human and can be used as primary or a secondary light source with benefits of energy, productivity and health.This paper presents the design method of LED lighting system to improve poor property in terms of CR(color redering) characteristic to use daylight effectively.

Under the goal of analyzing the compulsory supply share of new renewable energy according to the application of a daylighting system to indoor gymnasiums, this study conducted analysis of energy consumption and operation schedule at three indoor gymnasiums in the nation through a survey. The investigator did an Energy Plus simulation on Building A based on the analysis results and analyzed the supply share of new renewable energy in the saving effects of lighting energy according to the application of a daylighting system. As a result, When 92 prism daylighting system were installed in the upper ceiling of a stadium, they were able to meet the criteria for the minimum illumination for official games(Min : 600㏓) and optimum illumination for general games and recreations, thus saving lighting energy during the daytime(09:00~17:00). The resulting saving effects of lighting energy amounted to 44.4% for official games, 57.6% for general games, and 66.7% for recreations. In addition, the daylighting systems had a compulsory supply share of new renewable energy at 2.04% for official games, 2.75% for general games, and 2.62% for recreations, recording an average compulsory supply share of 2.5%.

Solar daylighting system provides free and comfort lighting, but its design and control has been key issue due to heavy light collecting system. One of the solutions for the heavy weight issues would be using a light framed film such as fresnel and prism lens. This prototype system consists of light collector, light transformer and light guide luminaire. The light collector which is installed at window or the rooftop concentrates solar light, the collected beam is converted to suitable light by the light transformer. and the prism light guide luminaire has been used to distribute light emitted from light transformer for illumination. In this paper, the design concept and performance of light collector in this prototype system are presented.

A series of outdoor tests were conducted on a fiber optic solar concentrator system for its performance on daylighting. The system is comprised of four main components - a parabolic dish reflector, a convex mirror, a homogenizer tube and an optical fiber cable. Results show that the system could be successfully applied for indoor lighting if some improvements are made for light transmiting (optical) cables. A maximum concentration ratio of 90 was observed delivering the illuminance of 4,800 lux at a distance of 1.2m from the diffuser for the outdoor illuminance of 102,100 lux.

Solar sunlighting systems are useful to apply for most buildings. This study aims to analysis the development and architectural application of solar sunlighting systems. For the purpose, abroad developing situation of solar sunlighting systems were investigated and analyzed literally. And, by case studies, architectural application methods are analyzed. As results, light pipe systems are mainly used for small building and houses. Also solar mirror systems are used for atrium and underground spaces. Lens-fiber systems are applied for high rise buildings and office buildings which internally have no influx of sunlighting. Some application suggestion in our country are discussed.

In this paper, a software development for design of the small photovoltaic system which is used to LED lighting is presented. For optimal design of photovoltaic systems, the operating power consumption of the LED load is considered to estimate the capacity of the solar module and battery. In order to give system design engineers a high ease of use, the software tool provides a graphical user interface and monitoring function to check operation of the system prior to installation.

The flooded type battery is used for solar lighting system. Because the characteristic of flooded type battery is the short life time, the maintenance cost is high. So the using flooded type battery in this system is inappropriate. The valve regulated lead acid batter.(VRLA) is the maintenance free and cycle service purpose. This paper presents the development of control system and monitoring system to applied VRLA battery for maintenance free and long life time in system.

Purpose: This preliminary study investigated a potential of the water wall systems that provide heat storage and natural lighting control simultaneously. Method: In order for transparency of the water wall to be controlled, the study first proposed two measures: to adjust transparency of the water wall; to control transparency of water wall surface. The performance of two measures then was verified and compared by experiments. In addition, a trade-off between heat collect and heat storage resulting from using additive for adjusting transparency was investigated. Result: The experiment showed that the two measures are similar in performance. The investigation of trade-off relation showed the additive should have the same heat storage as the water to prevent decrease in thermal performance of the water wall. As an economical measure to control transparency of the water wall, this study suggested a measure of secondary heat transfer systems using shading device that first absorbs solar radiation and then transfers heat to the water wall. The experiment show that performance of the proposed measure is similar to controlling transparency of water wall surface. In conclusion, it is expected that the performance of the water wall can be economically maximized by using the proposed mean in terms of heating, cooling and lighting energy saving.
