Introduction
The department conducts research
Research
and development missions on the sustainable building and urban planning, structural safety and building materials, and energy and resource conservation performance. Based on these missions, the department creates a new architectural culture by developing systems, policies, construction methods, products, and evaluation techniques. In close cooperation with industry and academia, our accumulated research competitiveness will contribute to globalizing Korean building and urban technology. Centered on its affiliated Green Building Research Center and Building Safety Research Center, the department mainly focuses on ⓐthe implementation and dissemination of green construction and zero energy buildings, ⓑtechnology for structural safety, ⓒbuilding energy management and system optimization, ⓓtechnology for solving social issues, and ⓔtechnology for achieving sustainable development.
