온돌의 효시인 화덕은 바닥에 자갈을 깔고 그 위에 진흙을 덮었으며, 주위에 큰돌을 놓아 불을 피워 돌과 흙에 열을 저장하여 이용하였으며, 이는 열저장 측면에서 주시할만한 난방법이었다. 현재의 한국식 주거용 난방시설은 연탄, 석유 및 가스 보일러를 이용한 온수순환온돌로서 전통온돌에서 사용한 돌과 흙같은 축열매체가 사용되고 있지 않다. 축열매체를 사용하고 있지 않기 때문에 온돌바닥면과 난방공간과의 온도차가 심하게 되어 쾌적도가 떨어지므로 난방열을 지속적으로 공급해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 이와 같은 현재의 난방법을 개선기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 잠열축열재와 바이오세라믹으로 구성된 온돌을 개발하였고, 그 난방특성을 실험적으로 분석하였다.

Korean traditional architecture has been carried out in the manner that it harmonized surrounding natural environments and never disturbed them in the scale which did not overwhelm the nature, based on the view of architecture predicated on Yin Yang School. The exposed grain of the wood like pillar, hinge and house rafte, the linear expression of the construction material and the formation between the window and door monopolizing the front side presented a harmony with the nature showing the linear structure. Furthermore the ceiling is low due to the sit life style thanks to the ondol (Korean under-floor heating system and the furniture was made in simple manner to utilize the space as large as possible, for the interior was narrow and close, and also the furniture placing in the middle of the room was movably manufactured to improve the room space. Like this Korean traditional furniture was close associated with the low height and simplicity and harmonized with the blank of the wall accordingly, and it characterized linear & planar natural beauty focusing on the simple and refined unique beauty, because it was made in a good harmony with the interior utensils. This study has presented that the organic characteristics of Korean traditional aesthetic of architecture and the natural beauty being intrinsic in traditional furniture have a mutual relation on the basis of not only the visual recognition, also the aesthetic of naturalism made of the natural material, the constructional naivety as a frame method and the linear & planar formative beauty shown in appearance.

Assessing the energy performance of supertall buildings often does not consider variations in energy consumption due to the change of environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, and wind speed associated with differing elevations. Some modelers account for these changing conditions by using a conventional temperature lapse rate, but not many studies confirm to the appropriateness of applying it to tall buildings. This paper presents and discusses simulated annual energy consumption results from a 600 m tall skyscraper floor plate located in Dubai, UAE, assessed using ground level weather data, a conventional temperature lapse rate of $6.5^{\circ}C/km$, and more accurate simulated 600 m weather data. A typical office floorplate, with ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standards and systems applied, was evaluated using the EnergyPlus engine through the OpenStudio graphical user interface. The results presented in this paper indicate that by using ground level weather data, energy consumption at the top of the building can be overestimated by upwards of 4%. Furthermore, by only using a lapse rate, heating energy is overestimated by up to 96% due to local weather phenomenon such as temperature inversion, which can only be conveyed using simulated weather data. In addition, sizing and energy consumption of fans, which are dependent both on wind and atmospheric pressure, are not accurately captured using a temperature lapse rate. These results show that that it is important, with the ever increasing construction of supertall buildings, to be able to account for variations in climatic conditions along the height of the building. Adequately modeling these conditions using simulated weather data will help designers and engineers correctly size mechanical systems, potentially decreasing overall building energy consumption, and ensuring that these systems are able to provide the necessary indoor conditions to maintain occupant comfort levels.

Objectives: To investigate the trends of industrial injuries among long-term health care workers in Korea Methods: T7866 injuries were selected from the total industrial injuries approved by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act(Occupational Safety and Health Act) among long-term health care workers between 2007 and 2016 in Korea. We analyzied the trends of industrial injuries according to work process, occurrence type, and causes. Results: The industrial injuries among long-term health care workers increased since 2012. The mostly occurred area for industrial injuries were low back areas, which is related that the most serious industrial injuries occurred when the one long-term healthcare worker lift manually the recipient, from bed(ondol, Korean floor heating system) to a wheelchair, bed to bath bed, and wheelchair to bath chair. In addition to this, lack of workforce, increased work intensity due to overwork contributed the increasing of occupational injury. Conclusions: This study suggests that the main causes of industrial injuries were Lack of facilities and equipment for small private long-term care institutions, The physical load that goes into lifting the recipient directly, work intensity such as excessive workload and increased work speed. We suggest that the social publicization of long-term care service for the elderly, avoiding ways to lift recipients directly, introducing lifting machines as well as improving working methods, and reducing the workload of caregivers are required.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the bed climate and the physiological responses in sleep on the traditional Korean floor heating system called Ondol. Ondol has been the most widely used heating system in Korea, yet there has been a no systematic studies examined its environmental effects on human body. Experimental room was constructed to match the typical thermal environment of Ondol. (floor surface temperature; $32\~33^{\circ}C$, air temperature; $22.5{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$, relative humidity; $64.0{\pm}4.0\%$RH, air velocity; 0.25 m/sec.) Three different combinations of bedclothes were chosen for the experiment based on the study results showing that they were the most widely used types in Korea. Type 1 was the combination of a cotton-padded mattress with a cotton-padded Korean style blanket. Type 2 was a cotton-padded mattress with a cotton-guilted Korean style blanket. Type 3 was a cotton-padded matless with a polyacryl blanket. Thermal resistance of each of these combina-tions in the bedclothes was measured using thermal manikin. Two adult female was chosen for the seven hour sleeping experiment which was known to be the average sleeping hours of Korean adult female. The bed climate was measured with the temperature under the mattress, the surface temper-ature of the mattress, and the air temperature and the relative humidity of the space between the mattress and blanket. The skin temperature, rectal temperature of the subjects and the bed climate were measured eight times, one hour before the experiment and every hour during the experiment. The weight loss and the subjective sensation were measured for the each subjects before and after the experiment. The procedure was repeated twice with two subjects and three types of bedclothes, yielding twelve combinations of results. The results were as follows; 1. With the surface temperature of $32\~33^{\circ}C$ of Ondol, air temperature was $22.5{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ with $64.0{\pm}4.0\%$ RH. The bed climates were $39.2{\pm}40.8^{\circ}C$ under the mattress, $35.3\~36.2^{\circ}C$ on the mattress, and $26.9\~32.0^{\circ}C$ with $56.0\~71.3\%$ RH between the mattress and the blanket. 2. Mean skim temperature during sleep was 34.2"C with local skin temperature of $34.0\~35.5^{\circ}C$. The skin temperatures of abdomen, thigh, foot were higher than the other parts of the body. 3. The skin temperature of chest, thigh, leg and back varied significantly according to the combinations of bedclothes. With the cotton-padded blanket, the skin temperature was the highest, while with the cotton-guilted blanket showed lowest. 4. Examining the relationship between the mean skin temperature and the local skin temper-ature, the chest temperature showed the highest correlation with the former. Therefore, the chest temperature can be recommended to represent the skin temperature in measuring the bed climate. 5. The subjective bed climates were $39.0\~40.4^{\circ}C$ under the mattress, $35.2\~35.9^{\circ}C$ on the mattress, $29.8\~31.6^{\circ}C$ with $56.8\~68.4\%$ RH between the mattress and blanket. In sum, from this experiment we not only obtained the reliable value of bed climates on Ondol, but also showed that the bed climates and the physiological responses were affected differently according to the materials of bed clothes.

본 연구에서는 목재펠릿의 연소 시 발생되는 타르, 재, 클링커의 생성 특성 분석과 더불어, 1등급 목재펠릿의 함수율에 따른 목재펠릿보일러의 성능 분석이 수행되었다. 타르는 목재펠릿이 연소됨에 따라 생성되어 연소실 전열면에 부착되었고, 전열면에 부착되거나 배기가스와 함께 배출되지 못한 재의 경우, 바닥면에 축적되었으며, 클링커는 3등급 목재펠릿의 연소 중에 버너부에서 생성, 고형화되는 것으로 나타났다. 목재펠릿의 등급이 결정되는 요인으로써 함수율은 중요한 요인으로 작용된다. 벌채부산물을 이용한 목재펠릿은 불균일한 함수율로 인해, 연소 생성물의 발생량이 증가되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 이에 따른 연소시스템에서의 효율 저하, 시스템 작동 오류 등의 문제점이 발생되었다. 특히, 목재펠릿의 함수율에 따른 목재펠릿보일러의 성능 분석에서, 1등급 목재펠릿의 함수율이 6.6%p 증가하였을 때, 보일러효율이 약 27.08%p 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

캡슐형 잠열재를 이용한 열저장 시스템은 바닥 난방 및 건물 난방에서 매우 효과적인 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템 개발에 필수적인 요소가 열유동 매체가 순환하는 파이프 주변의 캡슐내 온도 분포와 열유동 매체의 유량 등이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 3차원 비정상 상태에서 Navier-Stokes 방정식, 난류모델을 비롯한 스칼라 보존 방정식을 적용하여 캡슐 블록의 온도 분포 및 파이프 내의 유동장 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 본 연구와 같이 계산 영역이 특별한 기하학적 현상을 형상(circle+square)인 문제 해결하는데 적용할 수 있는 새로운 격자 생성 기술(MBFGE/CCM)을 개발하였다. 격자계는 파이프에서 원형 격자를 이용하였고, 캡슐 블록에서 사각 격자를 이용하여 다중격자와 미세격자를 결합하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치해석적 방법을 미세 캡슐을 이용한 축열보드에 적용하여 2종류의 열경계 상태에 대하여 속도와 온도분포를 계산하여 비교분석을 하는 것이다. 온도는 축열 보드의 한 쪽면은 대류면이고 다른 한쪽면은 단열면인 경우(Case 2)보다 양면 모두 단열인 경우(Case 1)일 때 더 높게 상승하였다. 온수 파이프 중심선인 Y=0 에 가까운 영역에서 Case 1과 Case 2사이에 축열 보드 내에서 온도 차이는 확연하게 나타났다. 향후 수치해석의 정확도를 높이고 축열 보드의 열전달 현상을 보다 정확히 계산하기 위해서는 위치 및 시간에 따른 정밀한 온도 측정값이 필요하고 특히 잠열재인 미세 캡슐이 상변화를 하므로 온도 변화에 따른 물질의 비열(C$_{p}$)과 열전달율(λ)을 고려한 방정식이 요구된다.
