Research Topics

• Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) program for buildings: LCA program for buildings is a program that evaluates the impact on the environment during the life cycle stages of the building, which is applicable for quantitatively assessing the sustainable performance in the construction design stage, with the development of interconnected programs with domestic and international Green Building Rating Systems(G-SEED, LEED)

• LCA program and Life Cycle Inventory Database(LCI DB) for construction materials : LCA program for construction materials is a program that evaluates the environmental impacts occurred in the production life cycle level of construction materials, which allows drawing the environmental impact of the overall process of collecting raw materials to product manufacturing, and forming database of LCI DB of the evaluation information of building materials, thus providing the base data for architect LCA.
• BIM based optimum design system for eco-friendly building design : Optimum design system is an automated design technique that derives the construction objective of an architecture’s design specification using the mathematical model of optimization algorithm, such as Objective Function, Constraint Function, Decision Variable, and Side Constraint. It draws the most ideal combination of green building technologies that satisfies the architecture’s overall objective of environmental quality level, schedule, economic feasibility that has its base on BIM.
• Eco-friendly high-tech construction materials : The main purpose is to develop recyclable building materials that can replace various types of construction materials(cement, tile, block ect.) by analysis and utilization of base materials of wastes as a result of construction industry. The main field of study is DB establishment of construction raw materials waste through the through the classification and chemical analysis of construction waste, research of establishing sustainable construction material development process using waste construction materials and utilizing these for the research on establishing the guideline of complete sustainable circulation of construction materials.
