The building insulation materials shall keep their thermal conductivity constant even when the freezing and thawing repeats for over a long time. But, in this condition of repeated freezing and thawing, the organic building insulation material may suffer the degradation in the thermal performance as the gas put into the insulation materials gets out slowly over a long time. Accordingly, in this study, the change in the thermal performance has been tested and evaluated when the repeated freezing and thawing cycles happen.

We investigated the emission characteristics of gaseous organic contaminants from building materials and newly constructed apartments. The emission test for building materials was done with small chamber method, and field measurements in newly constructed apartment were carried out by Korea Standard Test Method for Indoor Air Quality. First, the emission test by small chamber showed that the TVOC emission from building materials was much higher than formaldehyde. On the other hand, as expected, considerably high concentration of both TVOC and HCHO was detected in the new apartment.

With the rise of BIM application and green building assessment, studies on assessment of CO₂ emissions from buildings using BIM are needed. In accordance with the requirements, this study aims at developing BIM Template database, as a part of development of CO₂ assessment technology using BIM. Based on the research of construction materials, this study develops database by applying Procurement Agency Item Code to BIM Template. The results of this research makes it possible to assess CO₂ emissions of materials with BIM Template and building data modeling implementation.

Construction projects, including housing, are carried out over long periods of time. According to changes to the construction period, the cost of input materials and wages also changes. Therefore appropriate management is important in order to minimize cost risks caused by fluctuations in prices. In Korea, housing units are usually sold in lots prior to construction completion. Therefore, careful management of input elements such as materials and equipment that are sensitive to price fluctuations is very important. This study deals with how the price fluctuation of materials, labor, and equipment influences the change of housing cost and seeks a way for cost management through identifying key resources sensitive to price fluctuation. As a result, a change to the housing cost index multiplies depending on cost changes of materials and labor together. Labor costs are a major factor on the housing cost index. In addition, certain types of materials and labor input to housing construction greatly influence price fluctuations. Thus, it is found that managing those main cost factors is the key for effective cost management.

Carbon dioxide generated from construction materials and construction material industry among the fields of construction is approximately 67 million tons. It is about 30% of the carbon dioxide generated in the fields of construction. In order to reduce carbon dioxide in the fields of construction, it is necessary to control the use of fossil fuel consumed and decrease carbon emission by reducing the secondary and tertiary curing generating carbon dioxide in construction material industry. Therefore, this study manufactured mortar by having cement as the Plain and substituting three binding materials up to 50% and then adopted different curing methods to analyze congelation and strength characteristics. Test results for strength property by changing binding materials showed that specimens with blast furnace slag, CSA 15% and CAMC 5% resulted in positive effect for strength.

Finishing materials are very important to restrain fire spread from a compartment to another in a fire situation. Therefore, the evaluation of combustible properties for the combustible material is essential to apply finishing materials into a generic buillding or s special occupancy structure. In this study, the testing methods for evaluation of combustible performance of finishing materials of domestic were surveyed in order to prepare the guideline of application of finishing materials in nulear power plant.

Stainless steels have been widely used as a building exterior materials in Asian countries for the last decade. It is required for the materials in this field to have an aesthetic appearance, a relatively high strength, and an excellent corrosion resistance. Other metallic materials such as copper, aluminum, and carbon steels have been also used as the exterior materials. Considering the cost of maintenance, stainless steel, having the outstanding corrosion resistance, is replacing other materials in the several parts in the building exteriors. Ferritic stainless steel has been applied as the roofing materials because its thermal expansion is much smaller than that of austenitic stainless steel. Therefore, it is suitable for the large-scale construction such as airport terminal, convention center, and football stadium. To improve the corrosion resistance of the ferritic stainless steels, the modification of alloy composition has been studied to develop new grade materials and the progress in the surface technology has been introduced. Corrosion properties of these materials were evaluated in the laboratory and in the field for longer than two years. High-Cr ferritic stainless steel showed excellent corrosion resistance to the atmospheric environments. In the region close to the sea, the corrosion resistance of high-Cr ferritic stainless steel was much superior to that of other materials, which may prove this steel to be the appropriate materials for the construction around seashore. In some of the large constructions around seashore in South Korea, high-Cr ferritic stainless steels have been used as the building exterior materials for six years.

Construction industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. Rapid construction activity and growing demand of houses have lead to the short fall of traditional building materials, such as burnt bricks. It is better to replace the traditional materials by the good quality of building materials with the low cost and durable environment friendly building materials. In order to satisfy that purpose, the researchers need to vary of new and innovative building materials. This paper shows the properties of compressive strength of ocher for unburnt bricks.
