본 연구에서는 2축의 태양추적장치에 프레넬 렌즈를 장착한 fiber-optic 설비형 자연채광시스템의 효율성에 대하여 이론적 분석을 수행하였다. ECOTECT와 RADIANCE를 기반으로 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하여 다양한 조건하에서 자연채광 시스템뿐만 아니라 형광등을 이용한 인공조명에 대한 실내 조도분석과 함께 실측 데이터와의 비교연구를 수행하였다. 형광등을 이용한 실내조명의 경우, 평균조도는 사무실 실내 조도 기준을(KS A 3011 일반 사무실 [G]등급[300-400-600lux]) 충분히 만족하는 결과를 보여주었다. 한편, 디퓨져를 사용한 자연채광시스템의 경우도 사무실 실내 조도 기준을 넘는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper explores the function of a structural skin with an embossed surface applicable to use for tall building structures. The major diagrid system with a secondary embossed surface structure provides an enhanced perimeter structural system by increasing tube section areas and reduces aerodynamic loads by disorienting major organized structure of winds. A parametric study used to investigate an optimized configuration of the embossed structure revealed that the embossed structure has a structural advantage in stiffening the structure, reducing lateral drift to 90% compared to a non-embossed diagrid baseline model, and results of wind load analysis using computational fluid dynamics, demonstrated the proposed embossed system can reduce. The resulting undulating embossed skin geometry presents both opportunities for incorporating versatile interior environments as well as unique challenges for daylighting and thermal control of the envelope. Solar and thermal control requires multiple daylighting solutions to address each local façade surface condition in order to reduce energy loads and meet occupant comfort standards. These findings illustrate that although more complex in geometry, architects and engineers can produce tall buildings that have less impact on our environment by utilizing structural forms that reduce structural steel needed for stiffening, thus reducing embodied $CO^2$, while positively affecting indoor quality and energy performance, all possible while creating a unique urban iconography derived from the performance of building skin.

Scale model measurements should be conducted under an actual sky or in a simulated sky where conditions can be held constant. A number of successful attempts have been made to develop artificial sky domes with man-made sun emulators. With reference to formerly-developed examples, sky simulator facility has recently been activated in oder to provide desirable sky conditions for teaching and studies. The structure is a 6m-diameter dome and promises to set various condition for energy related and lighting research activities. The sky dome is also equipped a heliodon, the tilt table, to facilitate additive direct sun impact under clear skies. Shading studies, using scale models with the heliodon, reveal how a building's design blocks or permits light's passage to the interior; solar access studies, and tests of the reflection and transmittance characteristics of new daylighting technologies. The design and construction specification and the initial operating experience with a building configuration are reported.

Solar daylighting system provides free and comfort lighting, but its cost has been key issue due to difficult design and control of the heavy light collecting system. One of the solutions for the heavy design issues would be using a light framed film such fresnel and prism lens. Prism light guide luminaires have for some time been used to distribute light when it is desirable to have remote light sources. These systems are helpful when it is desirable to have fewer light sources, and/or to position light sources in places where lamp maintenance is easier, or electrical hazard is reduced. This proposed prototype system consists of light collector, light transformer and light pipe.

스마트 윈도우는 건물의 에너지 절감을 실현할 수 있는 신소재 건축 자재이며, 상황에 따라 가시광선 투과율(Visible Light Transmittance), 일사획득계수(Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, g-value)를 자유롭게 조절할 수 있는 특징을 가진다. Electrochromic(EC), Suspended Particle Device(SPD), Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal(PDLC) 등이 스마트 윈도우에 해당되며 현재 실용화 단계에 있다. 최근 스마트 윈도우의 VLT 및 g-value 조절 기능을 통해 건축물의 에너지를 절감하는 방법에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 일부 유의미한 결과가 도출되고 있다. 하지만, 건축물의 에너지 절감에 대해서 연구의 영역이 제한되어 있고, 실내 환경에 대한 연구는 다소 부족한 실정이다. 에너지 절감에만 초점을 맞춘 실내 공간은 충분한 쾌적성이 확보되지 않기 때문에 실내 환경에 대한 고려가 요구된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 사무공간을 기준으로 채광성능(Daylight Performance) 분석이 수행되었다. 세계 각 국의 친환경 건축인증제도인 LEED, BREEAM, CASBEE, G-SEED의 기준을 통해 스마트 윈도우의 VLT 조절에 따른 채광성능 검토가 이루어졌으며, 쾌적한 실내 채광환경을 유지할 수 있는 스마트 윈도우의 VLT 범위에 대한 고찰이 이루어졌다. 분석을 위해 사용된 스마트 윈도우는 VLT 조절 범위가 가장 넓은 EC가 사용되었다. 분석 결과 한국의 친환경 건축인증제도인 G-SEED의 평균주광률을 충족하기 위한 스마트 윈도우의 최소 VLT는 25% 이상으로 나타났으며, 스마트 윈도우의 VLT 조절은 균제도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, LEED의 실내 최소조도의 기준을 적용할 시 적용되어야 하는 계절 및 향에 대한 스마트 윈도우의 VLT 조절 범위 값이 도출되었다.

In previous study, to investigate the impression of the compound lighting based on the AC-Model at the full-size room, the impressions of various compound lighting were completed as compared with that of the uniform lightings through the comparison method (a paired comparison) by Semantic Differential scaling. Also, we examined the effect of the supplementary lighting type increasing the lights at the side of the window and the blind-control lighting type, and they were compared with the existing compound lighting type. In results, pared comparison of the compound lighting and the uniform lighting, indicates that the impression of the compound lighting is generally similar to that of the uniform lighting when there are same ratios of the light from the window. Based on these results, we suggest that the AC-Model might be applied to various conditions. And we also introduce the method for daylighting that it is possible to reduce discomfort glare and to improve visual impressions as the supplementary type and blind-control type on the compound lighting. And it was found that electric power consumption of the compound lighting room was lower than that of the uniform lighting room when as same lighting ratio of the compound lighting and the uniform lighting from the window was provided or there was the lighting distribution simulated to same light ratio from the window. Since the method of the ACModel was described in the experimental condition, additional studies should be performed to determine if this model could be applied to different window configurations, lighting layout and types of a room.

Large glazed surfaces and windows become common features in modern buildings. The spread of these features was influenced by the dependence of designers on mechanical and artificial systems to provide occupants with thermal and visual comfort. Countries with hot summer and cold winter conditions, like Jordan, require maximum shading from solar radiation in summer, and maximum exposure in winter to reduce cooling and heating loads respectively. The current research aims at designing optimized double-positioned external shading device systems that help to reduce energy consumption in buildings and provide thermal and visual comfort during both hot and cold seasons. Using energy plus, a whole building energy simulation program, and radiance, Lighting Simulation Tool, with DesignBuilder interface, a series of computer simulations for energy consumption and daylighting performance were conducted for offices with south, east, or west windows. The research was based on comparison to determine the best fit characteristics for two positions of adjustable horizontal louvers on south facade or vertical fins on east and west facades for summer and winter conditions. The adjustable shading systems can be applied for new or retrofitted office or housing buildings. The optimized shading devices for summer and winter positions helped to reduce the net annual energy consumption compared to a base case space with no shading device or with curtains and compared to fix shading devices.

Since the late 20th century, countries of the world have made every effort to solve environmental problems due to global warming. The Korean Government has also made various efforts on reducing energy and $CO_2$ emission under the motto of "Low-Carbon Green Growth". In order to achieve the goal to reduce energy in the construction field, severe design standards and regulations on saving energy in new buildings have been established. However, for maximizing the reduction of energy in buildings, it is time to focus on deteriorated buildings where applications of energy saving designs and techniques have been insufficient. Especially, there are little guidelines and researches on reducing energy through remodeling at deteriorated school buildings which were built over 20 years ago. This paper suggests the priority of factors to reduce energy on the remodeling process at deteriorated school buildings using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. For applying the AHP method, the survey of staffs in the Education Offices and board members in the Korea Institute of Ecological Architecture and Environment was conducted via e-mail. As a result, factors of insulation, daylighting, system control, and windows turned out important in the energy reducing remodeling process at deteriorated school buildings, while factors of artificial lighting, solar heating, ventilation, and system did relatively unimportant.
