3. Overview
  The research center for Technological Innovation on Sustainable Buildings (TISBRC) was established in June, 2005, supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF), and Hanyang University (HYU). With its main office and laboratories located at HYU, there are 20 faculty members joining the center from 7 universities in Korea.
  The purpose of this research is to establish a world-class sustainable building technology system by developing engineering high-tech focusing on highrise building to improve the environmental conservation and the quality of life.

4. Objectives
  Domestic building production activity needs a paradigm shift from conventional construction activities to sustainable development using sustainable building technology such as reduction of natural resources, energy saving, longer life span, recycling, etc to reduce environmental load throughout the entire building life cycle - building design, construction, operation, demolition.
  To realize this objective, the research and development will be implement major technologies for sustainability such as material saving, optimum design, energy saving, environmental load reduction, jobsite pollution reduction, construction waste management, durability improvement and LCC reduction of facility management.

5. Areas of Research and Their Accomplishment
  The research will be composed of 4 main research tasks which are cross related. The subjects of 4 main research tasks are as follows:
   ·Development of Natural Resource Design Technology through the Innovation of Space and Structural
    System Advancement
   ·Development of Energy Saving Technology in Buildings through Environmental Load Reduction and
    Efficiency Improvement
   ·Development of construction technologies for the reduction of construction waste using architectural
    components and construction automation
   ·Development of sustainable building maintenance system for enhancing the environmental performance
    and the durability performance

6. Outlook and Projections
   ·Establishment of world-class sustainable building technology to conserve the global natural resources
    and environment.
   ·To observe national responsibility that reduces CO2 emission based on climate change treaty in
    Architecture
   ·Production of creative academic territory by combining high-technology and sustainable building
    technology.
   ·Reduction of natural resources, energy saving, recycling, longer life span, economic effectiveness
    by LCC reduction.    ·Education of personnel related to sustainable building technology, practical
    technology, technology transfer to industry, institutionalization of environmental friendly law, and
    implementation of social movement.

7. Human Resource Training
  Education and propagation of design technology on sustainable buildings are the important roles of TISBRC for public and social benefit.
   ·International workshops and symposiums for graduate students and practical engineers
   ·Social programs for technical and environmental academies
   ·Produce of more than 5 doctors and 20 masters per year on first stage

8. Academic-Industrial Collaboration and International Cooperation
   ·Academic-Industrial Collaboration
   ·Collaboration for sustainable building with total 5 industrial companies in Korea and cooperation with
    7 research center and academic institutes
   ·International Cooperation :
    Total 16 Research Centers of 6 Nations : America (6), Japan (5), Australia (2),
                                                              Germany (1), England (1), Thailand (1)
