Recently, the coverage of urban forests has been rapidly decreasing as the cities are created and expanding. Consequently, there arise urban problems such as heat island effect, urban flooding, urban desertification and so on. In this context, green roof systems is considered to be an efficient alternative to deal with these problems. However, it is difficult to apply green roof to new buildings since the majority of the buildings in cities are already constructed and the demand for new building constructions is not high enough. Therefore, it should be considered to apply green roof system to existing buildings for resolving various problems. This study evaluates heating and cooling energy consumption based on the combination of passive design factors such as wall, roof, window insulation in addition to a green roof system applied to an existing house by using an energy simulation program. Total 8 potential improvement cases are developed. Each case is applied to the same house with different insulation standard for simulations. Through the analysis of the simulated cases with the chosen test house, it is confirmed that heating energy consumption decreases as improvement cases are applied, but cooling energy consumption is relatively not much affected by each improvement case. In addition, when each improvement case is applied to already highly insulated house, the effect of thermal energy improvement decreases while the same improvement that is applied to the case with low insulated house tends to yield higher improvement rate.

Purpose: As declines in the quality of residential environments occur, such as urban heat island effect, tropical night phenomenon, and violations of right to light and privacy due to urban densification and high rise building, these problems are emerging as social issues. In order to improve these issues, design factors which consider environmental aspects must be selected when planning apartment complexes, and ways to reflect them in the planning phase must be explored. Method: In this study, the analytical hierarchy process(AHP) was used to deduce design factors that considered environmental elements during the planning of apartment complexes. Furthermore, the priority and weight for each evaluation index were assessed. The objective was to propose a guideline for planning apartment complexes by finding the best solution for each evaluation index using complex weight values. Result: Floor area ratio was selected as the most important evaluation criterion in the environmentally conscious evaluation index for apartment complex planning. The shape and placement of skylights were selected as the most important evaluation criteria in the sunshine environment for a pleasant residential environment. Ground surface cover design was selected as the most important criterion in the outdoor thermal environment index for improving the microclimate within cities and apartment complexes. Thus, the results of this study can serve as an investigation guideline that concerns policy and regulations, and as reference data that can be used in planning apartment complexes.

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between four elements: long-wave radiation, the direction of the building, BVR (Building View Ratio), and cloud amount. We examined how long-wave radiations surrounding a building influences the perception of heat in the summer. The results are as follows. (1) Long-wave radiation and BVR are highly correlated regardless of geographical direction. (2) Especially, during dawn in a clear day, areas with high BVR observed high levels of long-wave radiation. (3) This correlation suggests that higher BVR in urban areas will result in a greater number of tropical nights.

기후변화로 인해 폭염 발생 빈도 및 강도가 심해지고 있다. 도시지역은 도시열섬현상과 맞물려 폭염에 의한 피해가 더욱 심하기 때문에 면밀한 대비가 필요하다. 국외 많은 지자체에서는 폭염 대비 및 대책을 위해 다양한 공간정보를 이용하여, 열 지도를 구축 및 도시 내 서로 다른 공간적 특징을 가지는 지역별 적합한 폭염 대책을 세워 대비를 하고 있다. 열지도 구축은 폭염 대비를 위해 우선적으로 수행되어야 할 단계이며 중요하다. 열지도 구축 및 열 환경 분석 사례는 넓은 면적을 가지는 도시단위부터 좁은 면적을 가지는 지역단위까지 다양한 면적 분포를 가진다. 열지도 구축 방법은 원격탐사를 통한 방법부터 시뮬레이션을 활용하는 방까지 다양하지만, 공간적 규모에 따른 차별화된 공간정보 활용 기준은 잡혀져 있지 않아 연구자마다 각기 다른 방법을 통해 열 지도를 구축 및 열 환경을 분석하고 있다. 전술된 사유로 인해 분석 규모에 적합한 열지도 구축에 필요한 공간정보 기준이 수립될 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 도시 열지도 구축을 위해 활용되는 공간정보 활용 효율화 방안을 제시하기 위해 국내외 폭염 및 도시 열 환경 분석 연구를 공간정보, 분석방법론, 최종결과물을 살펴보았다. 분석결과 공간정보 활용에 있어서는 원격탐사를 활용한 열지도 구축을 위해서는 기본 해상도인 공간, 시간, 분광해상도가 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 시뮬레이션은 구동을 위한 입력 조건 정보인 기상데이터의 종류와 공간해상도가 분석 대상지의 규모별 상이함이 있음이 파악되었다. 따라서 원격탐사를 활용한 열지도의 경우는 공간·분광·시간 해상도를 고려해야 하며, 시뮬레이션은 구동을 위한 입력 조건인 공간해상도와 입력하는 기상정보의 조건을 사전에 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 폭염 분석을 위한 모니터링 요소의 종류를 파악한 결과 토지피복, 도시 공간적 특징, 건축물, 지형, 식생, 그림자 관련 19가지 요소 종류를 파악했으며 규모별 요소의 종류가 차이가 있는 것이 파악되었다. 본 연구를 통해 폭염 분석 시, 수행하려는 연구 대상지의 면적 규모에 적합한 공간정보 활용 및 모니터링 요소 설정에 있어 연구의 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Lithium-ion batteries are predominantly employed in electric vehicles and energy storage devices, offering the advantage of high energy density. However, they are susceptible to efficiency degradation when operated at high temperatures due to their sensitivity to the external environment. In this study, we conducted experiments using an indirect cooling method to prevent thermal runaway and explosions in lithium-ion batteries. The results were validated by comparing them with heat transfer simulations conducted through a commercial finite element analysis program. The experiments included single-cell exothermic tests and cooling experiments on a battery pack with 10 cells connected in series, utilizing 21700 lithium-ion batteries. To block external temperature influences, the experimental environment featured an extrusion method insulation in the environmental chamber. The cooling system, suitable for indirect cooling, was constructed with copper tubes and pins. The heat transfer analysis began by presenting a single-cell heating model using commercial software, which was then employed to analyze the heating and cooling of the battery pack.

All crude oil carries a little of water, sand, and mineral sediment molecules tightly bounded with hydrocarbons. The result is the gradual precipitation of these heavier elements into thick, granular petroleum by products known as crude oil sludge. The oily sludges in ship tanks and in storage facilities have to be treated efficiently in order to keep the security and the capacity of storage facilities, to protect a serious environmental pollution, and to retrieve lost resource. The oily sludge treatment system should be designed to satisfy requirements mentioned in safe work condition. As a basic study, in this paper, an oily sludge treatment system by ultrasonic waves was proposed. Then, the features of ultrasonic energy and recovery of sludge with ultrasonic waves are investigated by experiments. As results, we found that ultrasonic waves are a new energy to flow oil sludge environment-friendly in safe work condition. In addition, it was shown that ultrasonic energy is more efficient than thermal energy in treating oil sludge, and that the volume of wastes for disposal is reduced remarkably.
