The aim of this study is to compare the sound insulation performances of window depending on the measurement methods through the field test and analyze the factors that affect the sound insulation performances. Four measurement methods which are specified in the Koran Standard 2235 and the International Standard 140-5 were selected for the study; the outdoor sound source method which is classified the l000mm method and the 10mm method, the indoor sound source method, and the ISO method. The result of this study is that the sound insulation performance of the windows was the best when measured according to the ISO method and the worst the indoor sound source method. Through the study it was found that the main factors affecting the sound insulation performance of the windows were the correction of the specimen's area and the equivalent sound absorption area of the receiving room.

Elastomeric Flexible Cellular Insulation is widely used in construction fields to prevent condensation and frozen pipes, reduce energy, and improve insulation. However, when Elastomeric Flexible Cellular Insulation has been installed in buildings in Korea, there was no standardization, which resulted in heat loss Therefore, insulation design standards need to be developed and from these standards, pipe insulation should be improved to increase its efficiency. This study estimates temperature and surface-emissivity according to the thickness of insulation to evaluate thermal performance.

Since most of main noise sources of the railroad vehicle are transmitted to the passenger's ear through the vibration of the panel, the sound insulation performance of the panels should be high enough to protect the passenger's ear from the noisy environment. Specifically, the composite materials which are generally used for reducing the weight of the vehicle compartment have the low insulation performance, thus noise control actions should be taken appropriately by considering the insulation performance of the panels. In this study, the insulation performances of the inner/outer panels of the compartment are evaluated. In addition, the contribution of the insulation performance of aluminum door is estimated and compared to those of composite panels. The results can furnish an in-depth understanding of the insulation characteristics of the panel of railroad vehicle.

Recently, some major environmental problems are the increase of fossil fuel price and $CO_2$ emission. To solve these problems, it is imperative to develop eco-friendly techniques and to reduce energy consumption in apartment complexes. Therefore, an effective system for insulation needs to be developed to reduce energy consumption. This study compares thermal characteristics between general insulation and super insulation Vacuum Panel, which is thinner and has more insulation efficiency.

This study aims to provide fundamental data for enhancing the sound insulation performance of windows. For this study, windows composed of various types and thicknesses, were classified into five categories； fixed, single, double, triple and airtight, and then tested. In order to analyze their sound insulation characteristics and performances. test results were rated using methods such as D, STC, Ts and arithmetical mean. It was found that the sound insulation performance of windows is affected due to their type rather than the thickness of the glass. It was also found that when gap between the inner and outer frames was filled with caulking material, the sound transmission loss at high frequency bands was greatly improved. Therefore, the sound insulation performance of windows would be enhanced by minimizing the gap between frames.

Korean traditional houses have been developed in harmony with natural environment and comfortable indoor condition by using the natural resources including building layout, space composition and materials. Originally Korea traditional architectures have used wood lintel constructions and loess walls through the many years. Theses loess have many strength such as highly heat capacity, controling of humidity, a deodorant than any other materials. Nowaday it is recommended to use exterior and interior walls in loess wall to meet the eco-friendly materials to improve our residental environmental. Thus this study aims to research the sound insulation performance of traditional loess brick wall varied with thickness, thermal insulation materials and cavity wall. The sound insulation performance of these loess walls are compared with other masonry wall's and sound insulation performance of th walls were tested in anechoic laboratory to measure the sound transmission loss of these walls. The loess brick wall with 75mm thickness of cavity is shown the sound insulation performance with Rw 57 which is nearly same performances of 1B brick wall and cement 8' block wall, The improving effect of insulation materials is shown in the high frequency bandwidth. Especially, there is improving as much as 11 dB using the extruded poly stylene form(75mm) and poly ethylene film(0.7mm).

This paper discusses an experimental method for measuring the insertion loss (IL) performance of multi-layered insulations that are used in vehicles. Instead of two adjacent reverberation chambers which are generally used to measure the transmission loss (TL) of the large sound isolation materials, air-borne sound insulation tester was utilized to determine the IL and articulation index (AI) of standardized insulation materials. In comparison to reverberation chamber method, air-borne sound insulation tester method is more space-saving, more time-saving and more simple to the automotive acoustics. From the empirical results, it is found that the performances of insulation materials are closely connected with density of polyurethane foam, thickness of heavy layer, thickness of polyurethane foam, and application ratio to panel area.

In the sound insulation measurements, the influence of background (extraneous) noise is often serious problem and how to reduce its effect and to improve the signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio is an important theme. As the background noise, such extraneous noises as road traffic noise and machine noise often disturb the measurement. In laboratory measurements on specimens with high sound insulation performances, even the internal noise of the measurement system can become a problem. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to improve the measurement accuracy, various kinds of digital signal processing techniques can be applied. In this paper, four kinds of digital signal processing techniques are applied and their effectiveness is examined by a simple sound insulation measurement.

In recent years, many interests and researches on the insulations required the multiple performances other than insulation performance. The purpose of this paper is to find the optimal ratio between wood fiber and rice-husks charcoal to develop a structural board with carbonized rice-husks. Based on these rice-husks charcoals, basic research was carried out to develop thermal insulation materials with structural performance, and the following conclusions were obtained. The MC of the board using the carbonized rice-husks was 3.2-4.1% and the density was 0.58-0.68, indicating the possibility of excellent structural material. The bending strength was 9.1-32.6 MPa in the length direction and 9.2-34.1 MPa in the width direction. It is possible to obtain the bending strength of the normally used MDF level and to find the possibility of development of the thermal insulation material having the structural performances.
