Abstract: The simulation system for predicting heating and cooling loads of a building comprises the collection unit collecting measurement data of a target building from a BEMS, the identification unit identifying indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and insolation measured in the building in real time based on RTS method, the correlation derivation unit deriving a correlation between energy usage based on the BEMS measurement data collected by the collection unit and the cooling and heating loads according to indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and insolation identified by the identification unit, the simulation unit predicting a change in cooling and heating loads according to a change in at least one of pieces of measurement data based on the correlation derived from the correlation derivation unit to perform a simulation, and the information provision unit providing a simulation result from the simulation unit in a visible form to a user terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a clay-dispersed polymer nanocomposite. In this method, a polymer, which carries oxygen atoms within the repeating units of its backbone and is thermodynamically compatible with a binder resin, is used as a matrix resin. Useful is poly(&egr;-caprolactone) owing to its thermodynamic compatibility with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile)copolymers, poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) copolymers, and poly(vinylchloride) resins. Poly(&egr;-caprolactone) resins aid the binder resins to penetrate into silicate layers so that the silicate of the organophilic clay was completely delaminated to silicate lamellas.
