Professor Sungho Tae's research lab specializes in sustainable construction and environmental impact assessment within the building lifecycle. The lab focuses on reducing CO2 emissions through innovative materials and technologies, particularly in concrete production and building envelope systems. Key research directions include life-cycle assessment of green buildings using BIM, development of low-carbon concrete, and energy-efficient building retrofitting using advanced glazing technologies such as PDLC and electrochromic windows. The lab also investigates the environmental impacts of construction materials and processes, aiming to support Korea’s green building and carbon reduction initiatives.

The increased popularity of building information modeling (BIM) for application in the construction of eco-friendly green buildings has given rise to techniques for evaluating green buildings constructed using BIM features. Existing BIM-based green building evaluation techniques mostly rely on externally provided evaluation tools, which pose problems associated with interoperability, including a lack of data compatibility and the amount of time required for format conversion. To overcome these p
The production of concrete, a major construction material, emits a large amount of CO2 from the material production stage, such as in the production of cement, aggregates, and admixtures, to the manufacturing stage, and it is expected that a reduction of CO2 emission will be required. Accordingly, a study on the assessment of the appropriate amount of CO2 emission in the concrete production is necessary. As a result, in environmentally developed countries, studies have been conducted on the prod
Concrete is a type of construction material in which cement, aggregate, and admixture materials are mixed. When cement is produced, large amounts of substances that impact the environment are emitted during limestone extraction and clinker manufacturing. Additionally, the extraction of natural aggregate causes soil erosion and ecosystem destruction. Furthermore, in the process of transporting raw materials such as cement and aggregate to a concrete production company, and producing concrete in a
Recent research in the construction industry has focused on the reduction of CO2 emission using quantitative assessment of building life. However, most of this research has focused on the operational stage of a building’s life cycle. Few comprehensive studies of CO2 emissions during building construction have been performed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the CO2 emissions of an apartment housing during the construction process. The quantity of CO2 emissions associated with the utilizat
Globally, energy standards for new buildings are being reinforced to improve energy efficiency, and remodeling policies are being promoted for old buildings. The South Korean Government is promoting green remodeling projects, and focusing on research and product development to improve the performance of old windows and curtain walls. In line with this, the present study proposes two remodeling methods using polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films, which can adjust solar radiation for old o
