Purpose: Most contemporary office buildings supply external views, a sense of openness and a sense of time to their occupants by adopting the curtain walls, which are equipped with an outer cover having large window area. As a result, the amount of radiation increases, adversely affecting cooling load during the summer in office buildings. Although solar radiation decreases heating load and reduces energy costs during the winter period, due to the characteristics of offices where occupants work largely during daytime, the cooling load is important compared to the heating. Therefore, diverse measures to resolve those trade-offs and annual energy cost have been investigated. Method: In this study, the annual thermal load was comparatively analyzed according to the slat angle of the venetian blind along with lighting control technique. Result: After selecting effective conditions, in order to resolve such issues, this study established automated control strategies of slat angle depending on the window-to-wall ratio and zone orientation, so that the findings of this study can be effectively generalized to other circumstances.

The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of conjugate forced and natural convection in the triple-glazed airflow window, where the outer air passes through a space contrived between the interior and exterior window panes, were studied numerically by a finite volume method for the elliptic form of the Navier-Stokes equations. The investigation focused on the influence of window geometry, ventilastion rate and solar energy on the temperature, velocity distribution and thermal performance of the airflow window. The comparison between the triple-glazed airflow window and the enclosed triple-glazed window was also made to evaluate the effect of buoyancy upon which the thermal performance of the window depended.

Purpose: "Building energy design standard" is used to limit the thermal transmittance of building in Korea. However, it only covers the insulation standard for each appropriate elements of a building, not the thermal performance of Junction thermal bridge of windows and doors installed in wall. Therefore in this study, we have evaluated the thermal performance of Junction thermal bridge depending on installation method and position of windows and provide it as design data. Method: We analyzed heat transfer of 4-Track sliding window and tilt & turn triple glazed window that are placed in the first class category on window energy efficiency rating using Window 7.4 and Therm 7.4. Result : First, linear thermal transmittance of 4-Track sliding window differs by 2.2 times or more depending of installation method and location. It is higher than the linear thermal transmittance, 0.01W/mK, proposed by Passivhaus. Second, linear thermal transmittance of Tilt & turn triple glazed window differs by 7.7 times or more depending of installation method and location. The average linear thermal transmittance was less than 0.01W /mK when windows were installed on the internal wall insulation by the fixed hardware attachment method. Third, the thermal losses of a window caused by a junction thermal bridge are inversely proportional to the window area and converge gradually as the area increased.

Daylighting is the controlled admission of natural light into a space, reducing electric lighting and saving energy. By providing a direct link to the dynamic and perpetually evolving patterns of outdoor illumination, daylighting helps create a visually stimulating and comfort environment for building occupants, while reducing energy costs. Especially, however, glare is the most important factor in daylighting, which is issued by incoming direct sunlight into windows. This study analyzed the discomfort glare on a daylighting window by using Image processing methodology and found a solution to problems with glare source of occupants. There are several ways to evaluate discomfort glare such as UGR (Unified Glare Rating) of CIE, DGI (Daylight Glare Index, Hopkinson, 1972) and VCP (Visual Comfort Probability) of IES. These are used to apply to the relatively little artificial light source and they cannot cover discomfort glare from a real daylighting window. In this regarding, this paper aimed to calculate DGI index of the real daylighting window in a experimental space by using image processing methodology. The variables and outcomes are luminance distribution of non-shading window, effect of venetian blind installed on the window and locations related to position index of DGI.

IEEE 802.16e는 고속의 이동성을 지원하는 이동단말들의 전력소모를 최소화시키기 위하여 수면 모드(sleep mode)를 정의하고 있다. 수면 모드를 적용한 MSS(Mobile Subscriber Station)들은 수면 구간 사이에 존재하는 청취(Listening) 구간 동안 BS(Base Station)으로 부터 수신할 데이터 프레임이 존재하지 않는다는 메시지를 수신하면, 자신의 수면 구간 값을 이전 수면 구간 값의 두 배로 증가시킨다. 수면 구간 값이 최대 수면 구간 값에 도달하면, 수면 구간 값을 최대 수면 구간 값으로 고정함으로써 전력사용을 억제한다. 그러나 이러한 방식은 MSS가 최소 수면 구간 값에서 시작한 후 BS로부터 수신할 데이터 프레임이 존재하여 수면 모드를 종료할 때 까지 다수의 수면 구간과 청취 구간을 반복하게 되어 스위치 온, 오프에 의한 전력 소모 증가를 야기 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 MSS의 에너지를 효과적으로 사용하기 위하여 현재 수면 모드 종료 시 사용되었던 수면 구간 값을 다음 수면 모드의 최소 수면 구간 값으로 사용하는 최소 수면 구간 결정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 방식과 기존 IEEE 802.16e 수면 모드 방식에 대하여 에너지 소모량 및 막힘확률에 대한 성능을 비교 평가한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존 IEEE 802.16e 수면 모드 알고리즘과 비교하여 막힘확률은 동일한 성능을 보이나, 에너지 소모량은 약 30%의 절감효과를 보인다.

Transfer characteristics of poly-Si TFTs within process window of laser energy are investigated. In terms of surface morphology and transfer characteristics, process window of laser crystallization is evaluated. While maximum mobility exists in lower edge of process window in n-channel TFTs, maximum mobility exists in higher edge of process window in p-channel TFTs.

Cognitive Radio(CR)는 실제로 사용하지 않는 주파수 대역을 스스로 찾아서 이용함으로써 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술이다. 현재 사용되지 않는 스펙트럼 대역과 우선사용자(primary user)에 의해 점유되는 대역들을 찾기 위한 스펙트럼 센싱(spectrum sensing)은 CR 시스템에서 중요한 기술의 하나라고 말할 수 있다. 지금가지 연구된 스펙트럼 센싱 방법 중 에너지 검출 방식은 계산의 복잡도가 낮고 비교적 쉽게 구현 할 수 있어서 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 방식이지만 몇 가지 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 특히 불확실한 잡음 전력이 존재하는 환경에서는 에너지 검출기의 성능이 감쇠되기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위해 슬라이딩 윈도우 기반 에너지 검출 기법을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 슬라이딩 윈도우를 이용하여 관심대역에서 신호와 잡음이 가진 에너지를 분리하고 잡음을 제외한 신호의 에너지를 계산해서 우선사용자 신호의 존재 여부를 판단한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안하는 에너지 검출 기법이 기존의 에너지 검출 방식 보다 우수한 성능을 지닌 다는 것을 확인하였다.

The study analyzed the heat losses and the building energy efficiency grade by the energy simulation using the ENERGY# and ECO2 programs for the three types of Standard design of rural houses. It was calculated the energy efficiency rating by the ECO2 program for the rural housing standard design, and the energy demand and the energy consumption by each factor were compared and analyzed. And it analyzed energy consumption by element of each house by ENERGY # program. As a result, first in the evaluation of the energy efficiency grade of buildings by the ECO2 program, the rating for primary energy requirement for the housing newly built by the standard design of rural house is expected to range from 2 to 4 with 189.3 to $238.7kWh/m^2.a$. Second, the energy loss of each part of standard design of rural housing occurs in the order of ventilation 39%, window 33%, outer wall 14%, roof 9%, bottom 5%, and energy loss through ventilation and window occurs more than 70%. Third, the most beneficial effects on the energy efficiency grade is obtained the lowest grade of all three types by 2 when the lowering of the window and door heat transmission rate and the lowering of the light density, and the heat exchange ventilation device is not installed. Fourth, in the standard design of rural housing, the energy demand is occupied by heating > hot water > lighting order, and the order of the weight is changed in order of heating > lighting > ventilation > hot water. Fifth, building energy efficiency assessment system needs to establish policy for fixing rural housing energy as a practical device to ensure energy performance and quality.

A passive infrared or pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is mainly used to sense the existence of moving objects in an indoor environment. However, in an outdoor environment, there are often outbreaks of false alarms from environmental changes and other sources. Therefore, it is difficult to provide reliable detection outdoors. In this paper, two algorithms are proposed to reduce false alarms and provide trustworthy quality to surveillance systems. We gather PIR signals outdoors, analyze the collected data, and extract the target features defined as window energy and alarm duration. Using these features, we model target and false alarms, from which we propose two target decision algorithms: window energy detection and alarm duration detection. Simulation results using real PIR signals show the performance of the proposed algorithms.
