A Paper by a Research Team of Undergraduate Students Majoring in Space Design was Published in an International Academic Journal
By Seo-Won Hong, Reporter
A paper “Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Movable Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Compatible Light Environment” by a research team of undergraduate students majoring in space design at Sangmyung Universitywas published in the SCIE International Academic Journal. Jung Soo-yeon, 4th grade at Sangmyung University’s Department of Space Design, and Han So-won, 3rd grade at Sangmyung University’s Department of Space Design, participated as the first and second authors in the paper “Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Movable Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Compatible Light Environment” published in SCIE International Academic Journal, Building. Sangmyung University’s Department of Space Design was the first indoor design major in Korea in 1988 and is a proud department of Sangmyung University. In this article, I will take a closer look at the SCIE International Academic Journal of the undergraduate research team majoring in space design at Sangmyung University. Also, I will learn more about Sangmyung University's space design major.
SCIE stands for SCIENCE CITATION INDEX EXPANDED. The SCIE paper is an overseas journal with high technical value, meaning “Science and Technology Paper Index,” and can be said to be an extension of the renowned journal SCI selected by strict selection criteria among scientific and technology journals.
The difference between SCIE and SCI is that SCIE was later created by adding “expanded”' to SCI, but it has been integrated since 2020 and now SCIE and SCIE are the same.
Summary of the paper “Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Movable Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Compatible Light Environment” published in an international academic journal
If you look at the summary of the paper 'Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Movable Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Compatible Light Environment' published in an international academic journal, the paper shows that the research team of undergraduates majoring in space design at Sangmyung University proposed a solar tracking-based mobile louver (STML) system and investigated its efficacy using a full-scale test bed. In addition, the paper contains the contents of developing a full-scale test bed for this purpose.
The paper states that the research team of undergraduates majoring in space design at Sangmyung University has estimated indoor uniformity improvement and energy reduction of various types of STML systems, including vertical, horizontal, eggcrate and hybrid.
In other words, the louver (shade) system proposed in this research paper is a mixed type louver (shade) in which four driveshafts control the length sequentially from the driveshaft adjacent to the sun through solar tracking to increase the area of the sun screen. Through this, the problem of damaging the view right was improved along with improving the shading and lighting efficiency of the louver (shade film) compared to the prior technology. In particular, performance evaluation proved that energy reduction of 35.7% to 49.7% compared to prior technologies is possible.
In the paper, this study states that this study is significant because it proposes a new louver concept that can improve shading and daylighting efficiency by reviewing conventional louver technologies and validating their effectiveness through performance evaluation. However, another limitation of this study is stated in the paper that there is a lack of technical review to assess the economics of the proposed technology, and further research will improve the limitations of this study. This indicates that the research team of undergraduates majoring in space design at Sangmyung University recognizes the limitations of their paper and is working to improve them. As a result, it can be seen that Sangmyung University’s Department of Space Design is constantly facing limitations and striving to move in a better direction.
Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Movable Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Comfortable Light Environment
Interview of research team of undergraduate students majoring in space design at Sangmyung University
Lee Hae-woo, a professor of the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University, said, “We are doing our best to develop undergraduates’ research capabilities through various educational and research infrastructures.”
Jung Soo-yeon, 4th grade at Sangmyung University’s Department of Space Design, the first author of the paper 'Development of a Solar Tracking-Based Moving Louver System to Save Lighting Energy and Create a Compatible Light Environment’, said, “There were many difficulties in conducting the research, but we were able to achieve good results with generous encouragement and guidance from our advisor.” She also said, “It was an opportunity to grow further through the valuable experience of solving problems.”
Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University
The slogan of the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University is “Design education for creative interior design leader with globalization.”
The Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University is the first four-year university in Korea in interior design, and has won more than 50 contests every year, including the grand prize, and has recently established its position in research.
In particular, the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University allows undergraduates to focus on research in various major fields through education that solves problems occurring in the surrounding environment by converging them with various academic fields.
Education system of the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University
The Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University understands the impact of the indoor environment on humans from various perspectives and establishes an educational system that actively responds to the needs of design personnel in the future society that is diversifying, converging, and informationizing.
In order to cultivate creative interior design leaders with an active attitude, the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University is conducting experimental education to prepare for the future society by constantly developing a new education system while being faithful to the basics.
The Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University train designers with an international perspective through various international programs and exchange student systems with renowned universities and institutions abroad.
Through an educational system that presents the same conditions as the working environment and carries out projects that create a new interior design culture in Korea, the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University is preparing an educational system that can adapt to practical practice at the same time as graduation.
Vision of the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University
Students who graduated from Sangmyung University with a major in space design will have the ability to communicate with society with a global cultural consciousness. Through this, students will be born as creative designers with the ability to actively accept knowledge in various fields and converge with spatial knowledge. Students will be able to grow into enterprising designers who understand the philosophical orientation presented by the times and embrace new space programs presented by future societies with scientific approaches with social and humanistic knowledge. Students will be able to become designers who understand the value of the public interest and create the physical environment necessary to realize a new world for humans in the spirit of sacrifice and service.
As we saw earlier, it is clear that the Department of Space Design at Sangmyung University has endless potential for development. Keep interested in the future development of Sangmyung University’s space design major.
