The purpose of this study is to present rational methods of multi-criteria optimization of the envelope of buildings. The object is to determine the optimum R-value of the envelope 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, optimum R-value of the envelope of a building is determined by using non-linear programing methods(Kuhn-Tucker Conditions). The results constitute information for designers on the optimum R-value of a building envelope for energy saving buildings.

2000년 말 현재 전국 시설 재배면적은 52,189 ha이고 이중 가온 재배면적은 13,621 ha이다. 난방비용이 경영비중 차지하는 비중이 시설재배의 선진국의 15%에 비하여 25~30%을 차지하고 있어 난방비의 비중이 높다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 가온시 시설의 난방공간을 최소화 할 수 있는 장치를 개발하여 처리별 환경 및 작물의 생육상태 및 연료소비량을 조사하였다. 시설내 난방용적을 보면 관행커튼이 661.5m$^3$에 비하여 상하이동 수평커튼은 264m$^3$로 약 60%을 줄일 수 있다. 시설억제 재배에 있어서 처리별 연료 소비량은 관행에 비하여 상하이동 커튼 설치시 28%, 그리고 반촉성 재배시에는 56%의 연료 절감의 효과가 있었고 추가로 시설내 온도 분포와 상대습도가 균일하였다. 상하이동 커튼구가 관행에 비하여 고추의 개화시기가 빨랐고 수확량도 증가하였다.

In these days, we are faced to a couple of difficult problems, the one is the unstable price of the energy due to the shortage of fossil fuel resources and the other is the serious environmental pollution from the excessive consumption of fossil fuel. In order to save the thermal energy for the house heating, in this study the heat pump using the natural thermal energy resources was provided for Ondol heating and the thermal energy consumption of the heat was compared to that of oil boiler. The results could be summarized as follows: 1. In the Ondol room the temperature difference between the Ondol surface and room air was about 5∼$10^{\circ}C$ in accordance with the ambient temperature. 2. The Ondol room heating efficiency of the heat pump with compressor of 2PS was the highest at the water flow rate of 200 l/h. 3. The energy saving rate of the heat pump to the oil boiler for heating the Ondol system was 19.3%. 4. The Ondol heating cost of the heat pump was less 20.6% than that of oil boiler when oil price was 478 won/l.

Purpose: The underground air is the warm air discharged from the porous volcano bedrock 30-50m underground in Jeju, including excessive humidity. The temperature of the underground air is $15-20^{\circ}C$ throughout the year. In Jeju, the underground air was used for heating greenhouses by supplying into greenhouses directly. This heating method by supplying the underground air into greenhouses directly had several problems. The study was conducted to develop the heat pump system using underground air as heat source for resolving excessive humidity problem of the underground air, adopting the underground air as a farm supporting project by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs(MAFRA) and saving heating cost for agricultural facilities. Method: 35kW scale(10 RT) heat pump system using underground air installed in a greenhouse of area $330m^2$ in Jeju-Special Self-Governing Province Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Seogwipo-si, Jeju. The inlet and outlet water temperature of the condenser, the evaporator and the thermal storage tank and the underground air temperature and the air temperature in the greenhouse were measured by T type thermocouples. The data were collected and saved in a data logger(MV200, Yokogawa, Japan). Flow rates of water flowing in the condenser, the evaporator and the thermal storage tank were measured by an ultrasonic flow meter(PT868, Panametrics, Norway). The total electric power that consumed by the system was measured by a wattmeter(CW240, Yokogawa, Japan). Heating COP, rejection heat of condenser, extraction heat of evaporator and heating cost were analyzed. Result: The underground air in Jeju was adopted as a farm supporting project by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs(MAFRA) in 2010. From 2011, the heat pump systems using underground air as a heat source were installed in 12 farms(16.3ha) in Jeju.

신재생에너지는 지금까지 화석연료의 잔량과 환경적인 면에서 그 중요성이 부각되었지만, 경제성에 대한 요구도 점차 커져가고 있다. 특히, 지열 냉난방시스템은 초기 투자비가 큰 점이 단점으로 부각되어 경제성 분석을 통한 결과 제시가 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지열 냉난방시스템의 경제성과 이산화탄소 발생량을 경유보일러, 도시가스 보일러, 수직밀폐형 및 SCW형의 4가지 방식으로 비교하여 분석을 수행하였다. 생애주기비용분석 결과, 지열 냉난방시스템의 경제성이 높게 나타났으며, 이중 SCW형 지열 냉난방시스템을 이용하는 경우 절감액이 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 이산화탄소 발생량 분석 결과, SCW형 지열 냉난방시스템을 적용할 때 저감량이 가장 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과에서 제시된 분석 결과를 대규모 시설농업단지나 간척지에 적용 시 많은 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
