Ice storage system stores cold energy using ice, which is used for cooling on next day. Ice storage system is the effective cooling system that uses cheep electric energy during a night, and also suppresses the peak load of electricity. In this study, the normalized temperature, relative humidity and specific humidity are analyzed using the weather data for past five years in order to estimate the cooling load for the control of ice storage system. The calculated cooling loads show fairly good agreement with the measured data of model hospital, especially at the outdoor design temperature of $25^{\circ}C$.

Tobacco seeds (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv KF109) were primed in the polyethylene glycol 6000(PEG) solution and then stored at 5 and $25^{\circ}C$ under 40, 60 and 80% relative humidity (RH) conditions for six months. The effect of storage temperature and humidity on mean germination time ($T_{50}$), longevity and germination of the primed tobacco seeds were compared. Untreated seeds (control) stored at $5^{\circ}C$ showed high germinability throughout the entire storage period and humidity, and a decline in germinability showed after 6 months at 60% RH and after 3 months at 80% RH when stored at $25^{\circ}C$, Primed seeds retained high germinability until 6 months at 60% RH and 3 months at 80% RH when stored at $5^{\circ}C$ but showed a significant decline in germinability after 3 months at 40% RH, and 1 months at 60% and 80% RH, respectively when stored at $25^{\circ}C$, Primed seeds were completely lost viability when stored at $25^{\circ}C$ under 60% RH for 6 months and under 80% RH for 3 months.

It is a system that controls temperature, humidity and fine-dust to make interior environment more comfortable for modern people who spend 90% of the time in indoor. In an experiment of finding which one of temperature and humidity influence more to discomfort index, for a fixed temperature of 21, discomfort index increased by 0.1 with a 1 change of humidity, and for a fixed humidity of 40, discomfort index increased by 1.2 with a 1 change of temperature. As a result, it was found that the temperature is more influential than the humidity to discomfort index. In an experiment of measuring communicational limitation of Bluetooth, the communication was possible for at most 30 meters without obstacles. With high obstacles like walls or steel bars, it was able to penetrate at most 2 obstacles and maximum distance which it can communicate was 10 meters for just one high molecule obstacle.

In order to derive the efficient utilization of low pressure compressed air fogging system, cooling efficiencies with control types were analyzed through cooling experiments in tomato greenhouses. The control types were set up with temperature control, humidity control, temperature and humidity control, and time control. It showed that the cooling effects were 0.7 to $3.3^{\circ}C$ on average and maximum of 4.3 to $7.0^{\circ}C$, the humidification effects were 3.5 to 13.5 % on average and maximum of 14.3 to 24.4 %. Both the cooling and humidification effect were the highest in the time control method. The cooling efficiency of the air fogging system was not high with 8.3 to 27.3 % on average. However, the cooling efficiency of 24.6 to 27.3 % which appears from the time control is similar to the cooling efficiency of high pressure fogging system experimented in Japan. The air fogging system is operated by low pressure, but its efficiency is similar to high pressure. We think because it uses compressed air. From this point of view, we suggest that the air fogging system can get the cooling efficiency of similar levels to that of high pressure fogging system and it will have an advantage from clogging problem of nozzle etc.

Three newly authorized bivoltine silkworm hybrids namely, $CSR2{\times}CSR4$ (productive single hybrid), $(CSR6{\times}CSR26){\times}(CSR2{\times}CSR27)$ (productive double hybrid) and $CSR18{\times}CSR19$ (robust single hybrid) were chosen for the present study. These hybrids were subjected to different temperature and humidity treatments i.e., $25{\pm}$1^{\circ}C and RH $65{\pm}5%$ (control), $30{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, with combinations of low relative humidity (RH $65{\pm}5%$) and high RH ($85{\pm}5%$) at different stages during rearing and spinning of silkworm larvae. The larvae of after 3rd moult were subjected to different thermal and humidity stress till the assessment of cocoon traits. The comparative rearing and reeling performance clearly indicated that the deleterious effect of high temperature and high RH was more pronounced for the majority of traits such as cocoon uniformity, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell percentage, reelability, filament length, raw silk percentage raw silk recovery denier and waste percentage on silk weight than other temperature and RH treatments and this effect was almost similar for all three silkworm hybrids studied. The present investigation clearly indicate that the deleterious effect of high temperature and high RH was more pronounced on rearing and spinning of silkworm larvae than other temperature and RH treatments and similar effect was noticed for all the three silkworm hybrids studied. The cocoon characters can be improved by providing ideal environmental conditions even during spinning stage of larvae affected with high temperature and RH. The study also suggest that high temperature and low humidity has greater effect during rearing stage than spinning stage.

Four air temperature levels of 23, 25, 27 and 29$^{\circ}C$, three humidity levels of 85, 90 and 95% R.H. at photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of 50 $\mu$mol.m$^{-2}$ .s$^{-1}$ were provided to investigate the effect of vapor pressure deficit on the evapotranspiration rate (EVTR) and graft-taking of watermelon grafted seed-increase. Thus EVTR of grafted seedlings increased with increasing air temperature at high humidity of 95%R.H. At relatively low humidity of 85% R.H., grafted seedlings showed a high EVTR and some wilting of scions was observed at this condition. This result would be ascribed to the low supply of water to vascular bundles according to the insufficient joining of scions and rootstocks. Differences in EVTR between 90% R.H. and 95% R.H. were not observed. Grafted seedlings showed high graft-taking at high relative humidity. Relative humidity had highly influenced to the graft-taking as compared to the air temperature. Graft-taking increased with decreasing vapor pressure deficit. Graft-taking greater than 90% was found at vapor pressure deficit less than 0.4kPa which could be obtained at humidity higher than 90% R.H. Therefore it is required to control the humidity higher than 90% R.H. for suppressing EVTR of grafted seedlings and preventing some wilting of scoins and thus enhancing the graft-taking of grafted seedlings.

Relative humidity of air In the greenhouse has to be maintained at 70 to 80 percents to provide a better growth condition of crops. To control relative humidity of air in the greenhouse, a dehumidifier functioning by refrigeration cycle was designed and manufactured in this study. And, results of its performance test in the greenhouse site were reported. The developed dehumidifier has separated condenser and evaporator in the heat exchanger part in order to increase dehumidifying capacity at a low temperature condition. When the conditions of incoming air into the dehumidifier were temperature of $15\~25^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of $0\~95\%$, quantity of condensed water per hour, ie, dehumidification rate was $4.7\~7.0\;kg/hr$. Relative humidity difference was not greater than 5 percents at various locations in the greenhouse due to proper distributing of dehumidified air through vinyl duct. Thermal energy output from the developed dehumidifier was about 8,5000 kcal/hr that was 7 percents of maximum greenhouse heating load of 10 a.

Information collected from temperature, humidity, inclination, and pressure sensors using Raspberry Pi or Arduino is used in automatic constant temperature and constant humidity systems. In addition, by using it in the agricultural and livestock industry to remotely control the system with only a smartphone, workers in the agricultural and livestock industry can use it conveniently. In general, temperature and humidity are expressed in a line graph, etc., and the change is monitored in real time. The technology to visually express the temperature has recently been used intuitively by using an infrared device to test the fever of Corona 19. In this paper, the information collected from the Raspberry Pi and the DHT11 sensor is used to predict the temperature change in space through intuitive visualization and to make a immediate response. To this end, an algorithm was created to effectively visualize temperature and humidity, and data representation is possible even if some sensors are defective.

The cooling effect of a fog cooling system has a close relationship to air flow and relative humidity in the greenhouse. From the VETH chart for cooling design, a cooling efficiency can be improved by means of increasing the air exchange rate and the amount of sprayed water. In the no shading experimental greenhouse by time control, when average air exchange rate was 0.77 times.min$^{-1}$ and spray water amount was 2,009g, inside temperature of the greenhouse was 31$^{\circ}C$ that was almost close to outside temperature and cooling efficiency was 82%. When average air exchange rate was close to temperature of the greenhouse that was no cooling and 70% shading greenhouse environment. When average air exchange rate was 2.59times.min$^{-1}$ , spray water amount was 2,009g and shading rate was 70%, inside relative humidity of the greenhouse was increased was 2,009 g and shading rate was 70%, inside relative humidity of the greenhouse was increased, but temperature was not decreased. When average air exchange rate was 2.33 times.min$^{-1}$ and spray water amount was 2,009g, inside temperature was 31.4 and at that time maximum wind speed at the air inlet of greenhouse was 1.9m.s$^{-1}$ . Since time controller sprayed amount of constant water at a given interval, some of sprayed water remained not to be evaporated, which increased relative humidity and decreased cooling efficiency. Because the shading screen prevented air flow in the greenhouse, it also caused the evaporation efficiency to be decreased. In order to increase cooling efficiency, it was necessary to study on controling by relative humidity and air circulation in the greenhouse.
