  • Active sunlighting systems have been applied to deliver sunlight into the indoor space where natural light is insufficient, mainly because of the congested high-rise buildings in urban areas. Among various active sunlighting systems, a mirror sunlighting system which is simple structure and economically reasonable has been widely used in different types of spaces such as underground, north facing place and atrium. This study was to evaluate the mirror sunlighting systems, which were consisted of the first mirror of $3.5m{\times}2.5m$, the eight sets of the second mirrors of $1.0m{\times}1.25m$ and a sun tracker. Ten sets of the systems were installed for 40 apartment living rooms, the configuration of $3.5m(W){\times}4.0m(D){\times}2.5m(H)$ where sunlighting were not possible due to high retaining walls located in the front of the living rooms. The 45 HOBO data logger sensors for the indoor illuminance were equipped and 2 Li-cor photometers for outdoor illuminance. Both indoor and outdoor horizontal illuminances were monitored every second from 9am to 3pm on 17 January 2010 under clear sky condition. The results showed that the indoor illuminance of installed mirror sunlighting system was significant relationship with outdoor illuminance and increased the indoor illuminance level by 4.2 times on the whole floor space, by 8 times on the sun patch space of 6m2 and even by 2 times on the no sun patch space. In addition, the luminous conditions of the living room under real sky conditions met the KS recommendation for difficult task (600-1000-1500 lux) such as sewing and reading on whole floor space and sun patch space. It was proved that the benefits of mirror sunlighting systems included an effective technology for penetrating daylight into indoors where sunlighting was not possible and improving occupants' satisfaction and health, and contributing to energy saving in apartments during daytime.

  • Sunlighting offers the high quality of life and has potential to improve environment, economy and human comfort. Especially mirror sunlighting system has competitive power in price, saving energy and solving problems of sunshine lack. This study aims to analyze the adequate applications of mirror type sunlighting systems available in Korea to enhance the living environment. For the purpose, contemporary applications were analyzed by spatial characteristics, size and usage in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Japan and Korea. As the results, they are being applied for the place with lack of sunshine in housings. For culture complex, they are usually applied for atrium. Nowadays, application of complex systems is increasing to solve sunshine lack and make uniform illuminance. Therefore both aesthetic and technical consideration is needed to apply the advanced mirror sunlighting systems in various spaces.

  • Recently, due to high rise building by rapid urbanization, the spaces incapable of being penetrated by sunlight into interior is increasing. So, sunlighting systems are important means to be able to get sunlight into indoors and to make sure of sunshine awareness. This study aims to evaluate lighting performance of sunlighting mirror systems. As results. these are very useful for the increase of an average illuminance of indoors and the penetration of sunlight. Especially, the second reflecting mirrors can be applied to spaces lack of sunlight. And these sunlighting systems developed in the present study is validated physical and psychological performance to both building and people.

  • One of the most important factors in determining the quality of living environment is daylighting. Especially its influence in the psychological and biological life of human beings cannot be underestimated. Therefore, lots of researches have been given to develop a more efficient daylighting system. The sunlighting system, one of many developed systems, has been developed and applied in various ways. However, the high cost of sunlighting system has been the most difficult stumbling-block in making it commercial. However, as domestic apartment houses tend to be more luxury, life environment becomes a very important factor more than cost in building apartment house. Therefore, it would be possible to adopt sunlighting system in the non-window areas such as a restroom in an apartment house. This research is a preliminary work in order to measure a possibility of applying sunlighting system in an apartment house. In order to do so, I measure Sunlight Illuminance Ratio in various areas of apartment house. As a result, in case of a residential-commercial building, areas such as kitchen, restroom, and entrance are relatively weak-lighting areas. In case of a traditional apartment house, restroom and entrance are relatively weak-lighting areas. For that reason, a special lighting support is needed in these areas.

  • The new blind design of sunlighting has been suggested in this study. The material in this blind becomes transparent but the blind has the parabolic edge section having the perpendicular line on a side. The material of this blind is PolyMethly MethAcrylate(PMMA). In this parabolic edge section, the front side of the blind is designed perpendicular to the ground. But the back side is a little tilted to the front side. The rays of reflected sun at the front side can be easily reflected totally by the back side. If the inclination angle in this parabolic edge section at the back side is designed with $15^{\circ}$, it can transmit the rays of sun when the height of the sun is lower than $45^{\circ}$. But it can reflect the rays of sun when the height of the sun is upper than $45^{\circ}$. The suggested design of blind can be applied to the existing blind installation. Although the material in this blind becomes transparent, the rays of sun can be reflected totally at midday. There is also prospect outside of the blind because the material becomes transparent. Several inclination angles in the suggested design have been simulated for the various height of sun. Total reflections have been occurred by the suggested blind design at midday and it can be useful to shut out the sunlight.

  • 산업헉명 이후 유리와 철의 이용은 넓은 개구부를 지닌 대형공간을 지닌 건축을 가능케 하였고, 1970년대 이후 새로운 건축양식의 추구라는 시대적 요구는 아트리움의 건축적 응용을 확산하게 하였다. 아트리움은 다층건물의 유리로 덮힌 대형공간으로 건물의 중심적이고 내부적인 공공의 공간이다. 대형공간으로서 아트리움의 가장 큰 특징은 넓은 채광창을 통해 실내로 유입되는 태양광에 있다. 넓은 채광창은 사람들에게 시각적인 개방감을 제공하며, 또한 많은 채광량으로 식재에 의한 조경이 가능해 외부공간과 같은 분위기를 연출하면서도 비·바람·추위 등으로부터 보호되는 쾌적한 온열환경을 제공하고 있다.

  • 태양광 채광시스템은 자연광의 유입이 어려운 공간에 주광을 유입하기 위하여 개발된 장치로써 에너지를 절약하고 인간의 쾌적성을 향상시키는 등 지속가능한 건축을 위해 도입 및 확대가 크게 기대 되는 장치이다. 이에 본 연구는 기존에 본 연구실에서 개발된 시스템의 문제점을 보완하고 개선하여 건축물 적용시의 채광성능을 평가하는데 연구목적이 있다. 본 시스템의 설치는 2004년 10월 25일 (주) 동아산전과의 공동작업으로 설치되었으며, 수원에 있는 K대학 공과대학 5층 옥상 파라펫에 설치하였다. 평가실험은 2005년 4월 5일 9시30분부터 15시30분까지 청천공 상태에서 실시하였고, 총32개의 측정점을 선정하여 주광조도비로 채광성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 반사거울을 설치 시 창이 있을 경우 실내의 주광조도비는 평균 20.3[%] 상승하였고 창을 제거할 경우 실내의 주광조도비는 평균 38.2[%]정도 상승하여 채광학적으로 유효한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 시스템은 건축물의 실내 및 옥외의 음영진 곳에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있음이 입증되었다.

  • One of the challenge for successful daylighting design might be to capture sunlighting that varies in both intensity and position and to deliver the luminous flux into the inner space as deep as possible. Conventional glazing apertures allow daylight in the outer 3.5m of a perimeter spaces. More advanced daylighting technologies can extend this daylighting depth by reflecting sunlight further from the windows within a deep floor area. For this purpose, this study developed light shelves based on performance evaluation with a mock-up model that constructed recently and measured under real sky condition. All these daylighting devices have a customized geometry developed from the solar path at a given latitude and utilize unique reflecting finishing to maximize the amount of redirection and diffusion of the daylight. This paper tells that the best daylighting penetration typically can be expected from using light-colored sloped external shelves.
