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 passive design strategies and advanced building materials such as phase change materials (PCM), carbon-based composites, porous structures, and biochar to improve energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and the performance of carbon-neutral buildings.
