The purpose of this study is to present rational methods of multi-criteria optimization of the shape of energy saving buildings. The object is to determine the optimum dimension of the shape of a building, based on the following criteria: minimum building costs (including the cost of materials and construction) and yearly heating costs. Mathematical model described heat losses and gains in a building during the heating season. It takes into consideration heat losses through wall, roof, floor and windows. Particular attention was paid to have a more detailed description of heat gains due to solar radiation. On the assumption that shape of building is rectangle in order to solve the problem, the proportions of wall length and building height are determined by using non-linear programing methods(Kuhn-Tucker Conditions). The results constitute information for designers on the optimum proportions of wall lengths, height, and the ratios of window to wall areas for energy saving buildings.

Most Ice making companies make simple efforts to make products and fail to introduce improvements into the system against huh cost of products. The work presented here is an implementation of ice making method to improve both energy efficiency and productivity. In this present investigation, several ice making cycles are designed and calculated to evaluate COP, ice making time and electric energy consumption. Results obtained shows that COP is improved with more efficient use of time for ice making and electric consumption. Therefore this can offer the opportunity for more efficient energy consumption and productivity in ice making.

In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for detecting dynamic event regions in wireless sensor network with the consideration on energy saving. Our model is that the sensing field is monitored by a large number of randomly distributed sensors with low-power battery and limited functionality, and that the event region is dynamic with motion or changing the shape. At any time that the event happens, we need some sensors awake to detect it and to wake up its k-hop neighbors to detect further events. Scheduling for the network to save the total power-cost or to maximize the monitoring time has been studied extensively. Our scheme is that some predetermined sensors, called critical sensors are awake all the time and when the event is detected by a critical sensor the sensor broadcasts to the neighbors to check their sensing area. Then the neighbors check their area and decide whether they wake up or remain in sleeping mode with certain criteria. Our algorithm uses only 2 bit of information in communication between sensors, thus the total communication cost is low, and the speed of detecting all event region is high. We adapt two kinds of measure for the wake-up decision. With suitable threshold values, our algorithm can be applied for many applications and for the trade-off between energy saving and the efficiency of event detection.

본 논문에서는 다양한 공장과 빌딩에서 조명제어시스템을 대상으로 계측 및 검증(M&V) 방법을 사용하여 효율적인 에너지 절약 방법을 제시한다. 에너지 가격을 줄이기 위해서는 전력피크시간에 제어가능한 다양한 수요자원을 고려하는 필요하지만, 일반적으로 빌딩에서 고려되는 수요자원은 피크전력이다. 본 논문에서는 M&V 방법을 사용하여 전력소비량을 줄일 수 있는 새로운 에너지절약방법을 제안하고 현장계측시스템을 구성하고 시뮬레이션 방법을 통해 제안된 방법이 효과적임을 확인한다.

The Korean government has introduced building regulations with improved energy conservation measures, including higher insulation levels for building envelope. However, there are many existing buildings that tend to consume more energy for heating and cooling than new buildings, as they were built under the former regulations with relatively higher U-values of walls and glazing. In order to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, green remodelling of building envelope and building services are required. For existing buildings, building services improvements have been achieved through energy service company(ESCO), but much attention has not been paid to building envelope improvements with various reasons, such as uncertainty of energy saving effect design issues and costs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of building envelope improvements in a typical commercial building on its heating and cooling energy loads. The results show that the improvement of glazing with lower U-values has the highest energy saving effects, followed by wall, roof and floor, under the condition of same level of insulation improvements. However, high insulated glazing increased LCC because of higher initial investment costs.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 제조업의 전체 에너지절약 투자액과 에너지원단위 자료를 이용하여 에너지절약 투자액이 에너지원단위를 개선시키는 효과가 있는지를 실증분석하였다. 실증분석에 사용된 자료는 패널자료(panel data)로서 제조업 9개 업종 가운데 분석기간 동안 시계열의 안정성이 상대적으로 떨어지는 것으로 판단되는 기타 제조업을 제외한 8개 업종이다. 이 가운데 에너지 다소비업종과 비다소비업종은 각각 4개씩이다. 분석기간은 에너지절약 설비 투자 자료가 이용 가능한 1982~2004년까지이다. 추정결과에 의하면, 첫째로 에너지절약 투자는 에너지원단위를 개선시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 추정되었으나, 에너지절약 절대량 측면에서 그 효과는 그리 크지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째로 에너지절약 자금이 에너지원단위를 개선시키는 데 있어 탄력성 측면에서는 에너지 다소비 업종에 비해 에너지 비다소비 업종에서 더 큰 것으로 추정되었다. 셋째로 에너지절약 관련 투자에 있어 에너지절약 투자 자금도 중요하지만, 자동화 투자도 에너지원단위 개선에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났기 때문에 투자의 효율성 개선 측면에서 신중한 접근이 필요하다. 분석에 의하면, 자동화 투자의 에너지원단위 개선효과가 탄력성 측면에서 에너지절약 투자보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 투자규모면에서 보면, 에너지절약 투자규모는 자동화 투자 규모에 비해 현격히 낮다. 따라서 탄력성 측면에서는 에너지원단위가 에너지절약 투자액보다 자동화투자에 보다 민감하게 반응하지만, 투자규모를 고려한 단위 투자비에 대한 온실가스 배출 저감효과는 에너지절약 투자액이 보다 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Recently there are many efforts for saving energy in building. therefore Building energy management systems(BEMS) are expected to a reduction energy cost. BEMS has many benefits which could switch plant on and off automatically. Also It optimize plan operation and services, monitor plant status and environmental conditions and to provide energy analysis and management information. In these days, many public buildings are applied BEMS but there are few studies about application of small or medium buildings. Therefore, in this study, we will find how to apply BEMS in small or medium buildings.

In the respect of energy saving and reusing, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gases emission and to enhance the operation efficiency in electric railway system. Recently, as the power electronics technologies are advanced, some countries have focused on the regenerative inverter to use regeneration energy on each line. When the electric tractions are stopped or slowed down, it is useful to supply the surplus energy to the power source by regenerative system, which increases its energy efficiency. Also, the generated energy can be supply to other tractions or equipments inside traction. Thus, it may help reduce construction cost of additional power plants. The purpose of this study is to describe the development status of the regenerative inverter system which suppress extra DC-line voltage and regenerate the energy instead of using a resister.

In this paper a new distributive control system for BA(Building Automation ) lighting control used on general microprocessors is presented. For optimal lighting control and saving energy, The system have to control the group and pattern lighting control as well as individual light control at one time. Tn this paper, This functions are accomplished with low-cost and simple microprocessor. A plurality of modulated light control terminals are connected to the central control unit through a pair of power line. This power line provide both power and signal to the each terminal and the data is transmitted through cyclic time division multiplex transmission. With this structure a low-cost distributive control system for lighting applications has been achieved, allowing energy and maintenance saving and reliability increase of the light control system.
