Welcome to BEM!


Building Environment and Materials Lab (BEM) was established in 2008 and supervised by Prof. Sumin Kim in Department of Architecture and Architecture Engineering at Yonsei University. BEM has studied for improvement of building environment performance and building energy reduction technology using building materials. Especially, we have conducted a variety of researches on building materials with application of phase change materials (PCMs) and carbon-based materials to improve the energy efficiency and built environment of the buildings.
