Energy-saving is one of important issues in multi-family housing projects in South Korea. According to the study by Yu et al. (2002), the balcony conversion causes energy loss approximately one and a half times. Therefore, it is important to select the economical glass type in the balcony window. In order to identify the most economical glass type of balcony conversion in multi-family housing projects, the most typical type of the multifamily housing projects in the metropolitan area was selected as a candidate project. The selected candidate project has been simulated using ENERGY-10 program to estimate the heat load by the different five types of glasses as well as their life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) using present worth method. Finally, sensitivity analysis has been conducted to determine the most economical glass types under a different discount rate (interest rate) and service life of building.

지난 수십 년 동안 고분자 분산형 액정(polymer dispersed liquid crystal, PDLC)은 전기광학적으로 전환이 가능한 특성으로 인해 빛의 투과도를 자유롭게 조절할 수 있는 smart window를 개발하는 물질로서 주목을 받아왔다. 본 연구에서는 높은 구동전압과 낮은 명암비 등의 PDLC 문제점을 해결하기 위해 아크릴계 단량체 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA)와 ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate (EGPA)의 조성이 PDLC의 전기광학 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 상온에서 10 cps 이하의 낮은 점도를 나타내는 2-HEA와 EGPA 단량체를 사용하여 제조하는 경우 보다 쉽게 capillary action에 의해서 indium tin oxide (ITO) glass 사이에 주입하는 공정이 가능하였다. Phenyl group를 포함한 EGPA 단량체가 대부분으로 이루어진 1 : 9인 단량체 혼합물로 만들어진 PDLC cell의 경우 전기장을 인가하지 않은 경우에도 불투명한 상태가 관측되지 않았고 인가 전압에 따라 매우 불안정한 투과율을 나타내었다. Cell gap thickness가 증가함에 따라 문턱전압(threshold voltage, $V_{th}$)과 포화전압(saturation voltage, $V_{sat}$)도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, $20{\mu}m$의 cell gap thickness를 갖는 PDLC cell이 10과 $40{\mu}m$의 경우 보다 상대적으로 높은 명암비를 나타내었다. 특히, 7 : 3 비율의 2-HEA : EGPA 단량체 혼합물을 사용하여 제조된 PDLC cell의 경우가 낮은 구동전압과 높은 명암비의 가장 우수한 전기광학적 특성을 나타내었다.

본 연구는 방화구획에 적용 가능한 수막형성유리벽에의 직근에 화원이 위치하는 경우 국부복사열에 의해 수막형성전 유리면이 가열된 상태에서 상부 수막분사노즐에서 분사되는 수막이 접촉함에 따른 급냉파열현상을 규명하기 위한 연구이다. 유리면 직근에서 국부복사열을 주는 실화재실험을 실시하여 분석하면 보통유리는 유리면 포면온도(가열측)가 $100^{\circ}C$를 넘는 경우에 수막을 접촉시킬 경우 파열이 발생하며, 강화유리는 유리 가열면 온도가 $250^{\circ}C$이상일 때 수막형성에 의한 급냉 파열이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 향후 강화유리에 수막을 도포시키는 현재 방화구획에 사용되고 있는 유리의 대다수가 강화유리인 것을 감안하면 수막의 도포이전에 강화유리면의 온도가 $300^{\circ}C$이내에서는 수막을 유리면에 급속히 접촉시켜도 유리면의 급냉 파열이 일어나지 않음을 발견하였다. 따라서 일정한 공간구획 내에서 화재발생시 유리면의 직근에 화원이 위치하여 국부적으로 복사열을 가할 경우에도 화원상부 천정면에 설치된 감지시스템에 의해 한계온도이전에 수막형성시스템을 작동시켜 급냉파열현상을 발생시키지 않는다면 수막형성유리벽을 실제 방화구획의 경계벽으로 사용하는데 있어서 예측가능한 장애요인을 제거하는 데 비약적인 공헌을 한 것에 그 의미를 둔다.

Natural lighting is directly connected with our mental and physical health. For working or learning effect, the proper natural lighting is required for improving our living conditions. School facilities, especially, are the place where includes students' ordinary activities with learning behaviors during the school years from elementary to high school. This study was carried out for the purpose introducing a basic database in that planning a school by researching on the actual in the natural lighting system of some schools' classroom, estimating, and analyzing through a simulation, which resulted in a method of improving the natural lighting system. As a result of measuring and analyzing Daylight Factor(DF) during the time from 9 am to 3 pm when students are activating in their classroom, generally DF range of the sides near to window and aisle seats zone are not distributed well. Besides, two out of four school which are researched would not reach the standards of the law for school sanitary while rest of the schools meet the standards; Average DF 5% and Minimum DF 2%. And the result of a simulation by RADIANCE program shows the most appropriate DF range when it is applied in variable numbers about an oriehows the- South-east 15, south-east 30, south-east 45, south-west 15, south-west 30, and south-west 45 degrees. When it is applied in the variable numbers about glass transmittance - 60%, 70%, and 80% in condition facing south of a classroom, the result shows that the DF range of 80% transmittance is relatively higher than other glasses in the classroom. Thus, when a school is built, plans for an orientation is necessary for improve of elementary schools' environment with the glass installation which is made for high transmittance and is regarded with the students' activities time.

Among the energy consumption in building, the heating energy takes the largest part. Therefore, it is important to minimize the heat energy loss in building for the reduction of overall energy use in construction. The most important points for the minimization of energy loss in building are insulation and airtightness. Especially, in wood houses, airtightness is very important for energy saving as well as increase of durability. However, the researches on airtightness of wood buildings have been started recently and are very deficient especially in Korea. In this study, air leakage properties and airtightness performance were evaluated for light-frame wood houses built in Daejeon and Chungnam area. Total 7 houses were evaluated, among which four houses (Case 1 to Case 4) were in the construction stage before interior finish and the other three houses (Case 5 to Case 7) were after completion of construction work. The tests for airtightness were conducted by pressurization-depressurization method, and the factors included in the measurements includes air leakage rate at 50 Pa (CMH50), air change rate at 50 Pa (ACH50), equivalent leakage area (EqLA) and EqLA per floor area. As a result of this study, key air leakage points in wood houses were found to be the gaps between floor and wall, the holes for wiring and plumbing, the double glasses windows and the entrance doors. The average value of ACH50 for the houses after completion of construction work was $3.5h^{-1}$ that was similar to Europe standard ($3.0h^{-1}$). ACH50 was proportional to EqLA per floor area but inversely proportional to the internal volume, the net floor area and the area of window.

The thermal performance of the air receiver filled with porous material for 5kWt dish solar collector installed in Inha University, Korea, is experimentally investigated. The diameter of the parabolic dish is 3.2 m, and its focal length is 2 m. It consists of 10 small pieces of glasses which have their own curvatures, and the effective reflecting area is 5.9 m2. The reflectivity of the glass is 0.95, and the thermal capacity of the system is about 5 kW thermal. The aperture diameter of the cylindrical-shape receiver which is made of stainless steel is 100 mm, and the height is 210 mm. A quartz window is installed at the receiver aperture to minimize the convective heat loss and prevent air leakages. In order to increase the heat transfer area, porous material (nickel-alloy) is inserted into the receiver. Air flows into the upper part of the receiver, which is the opposite side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 3 exits which are located near the aperture. The volumetric flow rates of air are varied from 600 to 1200 L/min. The thermal efficiency of the receiver ranges from 82% - 92% depending upon the flow rate. The results show that the system efficiency and receiver efficiency increase as the volume flow rate increases as expected. These results from the experiment will be useful for the applications to air heating receivers and solar reactors.
