Purpose: This study is conducted to contribute to the improvement of Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design(G-SEED) from the existing energy physical efficiency-centric system to the well-being-centric green building certification system. Method: In order to modify existing G-SEED Certification, three phases of research have been conducted; 1) identification of needs of well-being-centric environment-friendly construction certification system, 2) comparison of domestic certification system with WELL Building standard(WELL) which focuses on human health and promotion of wellness and 3) AHP analysis to sort out the supplement items from WELL. Result: We proposed four alternatives which should be preferentially introduced to the existing domestic certification system; addition of independent 'well-being' section(field) in G-SEED, insertion of 'well-being' indicators in each relevant section of G-SEED, addition of 'well-being' indicators in 'Innovative Design(ID)' of G-SEED and independent score systems for 25 items in a high priority.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the health performance of existing buildings which completed green remodeling using the WELL Building Standard developed by Delos in the USA. The features and the level of improvement in health were examined and the results were as follows. As a result of comprehensive evaluation of the health performance of the target building, the health performance after green remodeling improvement was improved by 17.3% compared to before green remodeling. As a result of applying the alternatives for improving health performance, improvements were 22.9% by Alternative 1, 28.8% by Alternative 2, and 28.7% by Alternative 3. If the improvement ratio with respect to the construction cost were compared, Alternative 1 was the best followed by Alternative 2. Finally, the cost effectiveness of improving health performance against construction cost were best in the order of self-closing door installation, airtight seal, and pest inspections.

A school building complex means building both the learning spaces of students and convenience space of community within school lands. The projects have has a positive effect on saving the national budget as well as expanding the learning spaces. The absence of standard agreement contracted through discussion of participants, however, has made many problems in the operated projects. Through analysis on the previous researches and conference, the paper finds main problems discussed in the operating step. And, the feasibility study is carried out in order to analyze the appropriateness of on the existing agreements on the problems. Finally, the paper presents the standard agreement for the school building complex projects. The practitioners can prevent the existing problems from new projects through using the proposed agreement. Furthermore, it is expected that the school building complex projects will be activated.

In the present study, the pressure coefficient of a cubic building model is numerically simulated. Three turbulence models of standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$, RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ and LES are adopted and the results are compared with the available experimental data. From the results, it has been found that RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and LES turbulence model were shown to predict fairly well the experimental pressure coefficient. In contrast, the results of the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model showed large discrepancies in pressure coefficient on the side and top surfaces of the cubic building, which limits the applicability of the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model on wind engineering.

This study is to draw thermal property data during long-term aging, by testing the thermal conductivity of building insulation materials in Korea. The thermal resistance of extruded insulation within 3 days from manufacture performed well over the KS Standard. After 50 to 110 days, however, the thermal performance had deteriorated to the level of the KS standard. Eventually, after 4,000 days, the insulation performance had deteriorated to about 25.4~41.8% of the initial performance. Therefore, this research will be utilized as a reference for thermal properties during long-term aging, in order to improve standards and regulations related to building insulation materials.

Recently, Fire-proof performance of buildings becomes important to ensure safety. As a result, fire-proof paint is required for 3 hours. However, Experiments are only performed by standard KS F 2271 for estimation of fire-proof paint. Because there is no domestic estimation standard for performance of fire-proof paint as well. So estimation standard of fire-proof paint is needed to guarantee their performance for establishing quality system and to assure same performance for safety of people in the building from unpredicted fire accident. Owing to these reasons, we studied comparative estimation for quality performance of two kinds of fire-proof paint and bond performance.

The study of how buildings affect wind flow is an important part of the research being conducted on urban climate and urban air quality. NJU-UCFM, a standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure model, is presented and is used to simulate how the following affect wind flow characteristics: (1) an isolated building, (2) urban canyons, (3) an irregular shaped building cluster, and (4) a real urban neighborhood. The numerical results are compared with previous researchers' results and with wind tunnel experiment results. It is demonstrated that the geometries and the distribution of urban buildings affect airflow greatly, and some examples of this include a changing of the vortices behind buildings and a "channeling effect". Although the mean air flows are well simulated by the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ models, it is important to pay attention to certain discrepancies when results from the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ models are used in design or policy decisions: The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model may overestimate the turbulence energy near the frontal side of buildings, may underestimate the range of high turbulence energy in urban areas, and may omit some important information (such as the reverse air flows above the building roofs). In ideal inflow conditions, the effects of the heights of buildings may be underestimated, when compared with field observations.

In this study, we chose the rural house as a standard model. In order to review the energy difference of cooling and heating loads, we changed the thermal transmittance standards. By using the thermal transmittance standard in 2011 as the Basic CASE, the thermal transmittance standard in 2013 as well as 2016, and the thermal transmittance standard of passive houses, we compared the results with regard to the cooling and heating energy load. Because of the heat loss, it can be confirmed that with an improved thermal performance of the building structure, the maximum increase of the cooling energy load was 36 kWh from June to September. Because of the heat loss, it was also confirmed that with the improved thermal performance of a building structure, the maximum decrease of the heating energy load is 1,498 kWh from November to April. Even though the heat loss of the building structure could decrease the cooling energy load by improving thermal transmittance standards in Korea, the energy saving performance is worse than the situation of heating energy load in heating period. Compared with CASE 1 and CASE 2, as well as CASE 1 and CASE 3, we CASE 3 was found to have the best energy saving rate when compared to the other cases : CASE 3 increased by 1,452 kWh and CASE 2 by 588 kWh, because the window thermal transmittance standard of 2016 was added.
