In this study, traditional treatment scenario of food wastes that collected and transported food waste is recycled in large treatment facilities and suggested treatment scenario of onsite zero discharge system that food waste is treated in housing complex were supposed. The scenarios were compared and analyzed by capital expenditure, oil consumption, $CO_2$ emission quantity, operating expenditure and management expenses. The capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity of small scale dispersion dealing method is the lowest compared to traditional treatment method. As a results, it is possible to obtain the effect that operating expenditure was reduced by 91% and management expenses was reduced by 40% with suggested treatment method. The treatment method that have low capital expenditure is tend to lower oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity. The small scale dispersion dealing method have the lowest capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity and the linked method with sewage treatment have the highest expenditure and $CO_2$ emission quantity. Eventually, the optimal model of onsite zero discharge system in housing complex is small scale dispersion dealing method.

산업혁명을 거치면서 높은 화석연료를 사용하는 제조업 중심의 산업구조와 많은 자원을 필요로 하는 도시의 집중 현상으로 지구 온난화에 따른 이상기후 발생이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 기후변화는 홍수, 태풍, 폭염 및 폭설 등의 자연재해 발생 빈도 및 규모를 증가시켜 피해가 커지고 있다. 특히 인구 및 시설들이 집중해 있어 도시의 집중 현상은 이러한 재해에 더욱 취약한 구조가 됨에 따라 피해의 규모를 가중 시키고 있는 실정이다. 전 세계적으로 기후변화 문제의 심각성을 인식하고 이를 해결하기 위해 선신국에 의무를 부여하는 교토의정서(1997년) 채택에 이어, 선진국과 개도국이 모두 참여하는 파리협정(2015년)을 채택하였고 2016년 협정이 발효되었다. 파리협정의 목표는 산업화 이전 대비 지구 평균온도 상승을 2℃보다 아래로 유지하고, 나아가 1.5℃로 억제하기 노력하는 것을 강제하는 것으로 2050년까지 탄소 순배출량을 '0'으로 만든다는 탄소중립사회로의 전환이 본격적으로 시작되었다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화로 인한 물부족 및 수실오염과 같은 도시의 수자원 문제 해결을 위해 IoT 기반 센서 및 네트워크 기반 수자원 플랫폼을 개발하였다. 도시 수자원 시설 데이터를 기반으로 대체 수자원 확보 및 수요 중심의 물 관리를 통해 효율적인 물 배분이 될 수 있도록 하였으며 이러한 스마트 물 관리에 따른 대체 수자원 확보 및 효율적 물 배분이 탄소 저감에 미치는 효과에 대해 분석하였다. 연구대상 지역은 세종 6-4구역으로 LID 특화지구로 조성되었으며 1,000 세대의 주민이 생활하는 공동주택이다. 물 순환(LID) 시설에서 확보된 물을 물 공급 시설과 연계하여 공동주택에서 활용함으로써 감소된 상수 사용량을 온실가스 배출량으로 환산하여 탄소 저감량을 계산하였다. 실제 주민들(1,000세대)이 사용하고 있는 상수량 데이터와 전력거래소 온실가스 배출계수를 활용하였으며 물순환(LID) 시설로 확보하여 대체할 수 있는 상수량은 10%로 가정하였다. 연구대상 지역(1,000세대)의 연간 상수공급량은 331,603m³이며, 연간 전력사용량은69,637kWh이다. 온실가스 배출량은 31.963tCO₂eq이며, 온실가스 저감량은 3.2tCO₂eq로 산정되었다. 추후 LID 시설에 대한 상수 대체량과 온실가스 저감효과 정량화가 필요하다.

Environmental problems and the shortage of natural resources are currently gathering more attention in Korea and international countries. With these problems, it is reported that most current domestic buildings are emitting approximately 138 million tons of greenhouse gas. According to a recent report from the investigation of Korean housing population, the total number of households is approximately 12.9 millions, and the apartments that were built more than 15 years ago amounted to 3.1 millions. This shows that the rates of old apartment housings are increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the deteriorated facilities and environmental improvement. Also, the construction industry is benefited by improving these housings which may need either remodeling or reconstruction. Environmental friendly buildings are a rising consideration for remodeling and reconstruction projects; it helps to determine many business matters in construction. The main purpose of this research is to improve environmental condition in apartments with comparison analysis between remodeling and reconstruction alternatives. This research is focused on characteristics of remodeling and reconstruction and it sets up the same condition with each level in order to evaluate the value of environmental friendliness and analyze its definition. The result of this research provides a unique emitting rate at a novel framework and this will cause the reduction of $CO_2$. It is analyzed that the remodeling construction can reduce the great amount of $CO_2$. Therefore, it will be a good decision guideline in selecting the most eco-friendly alternative to improve environment for building construction. Although reconstruction is a popular alternative nowadays in Korea, this research can provide a reason why decision makers should put more emphasis on remodeling as an environment-friendly alternative.

최근 국내 장애인 복합시설의 증가와 함께 많은 사고 사례가 발생하고 있다. 하지만 장애인 시설 화재시 재실자가 장애인으로 비장애인 보다 피난 효율이 저하되어 수 많은 인재가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 장애인시설 피난 방화와 관련하여 강화된 규정이 필요하고 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이에 따라 국내 장애인복합시설을 대상으로 가연물 조사와 Cone Calorimeter 실험을 통해 화재하중과 가연물 연소성상 등을 연구 분석한 결과 장애인 시설의 화재하중이 공동주택보다 높다는 것을 확인하였다. Cone Calorimeter 실험을 통해서 6개 시료 중 4개의 시료가 기준치 이상의 발열량을 보였고, 방염블라인드의 경우 Co, $CO_2$ 유해연기의 검출량이 기준치 이상으로 그 위험성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The problems of environmental pollutions and resources depletion have been growing issues in global construction recently. Efforts to reduce $CO_2$ emission have been also made in all sectors of construction industry these days. As one of the biggest industries that consume a huge amount of resources and generate complex construction wastes, the construction industry has significant impacts on environment issues. However, systematic approach to manage wastes has been rarely made, and most construction wastes from construction sites are being land-filled or incinerated. In this study, a system is proposed to predict the amount of wastes in visual formats, and to control the process of wastes management. The system's main functions include : (1) to estimate the amount of wastes to be generated in project schedule, (2) to categorize the types of wastes, (3) to determine the timing of taking out wastes from sites, and (4) to share information regarding wastes for recycling. A huge amount of wastes are generated in construction process, but most of the wastes have been discharged in forms of mixed wastes, which make them hardly reused. The system not only provide information on wastes to be generated, but also prevent mixing various wastes by classifying them by types and schedules. This features of the system, along with functions to share wastes information with other agencies outside the site, are expected to enhance the level of wastes recycling to a great extent. By saving construction materials through wastes recycling, the system also contributes in reducing $CO_2$ emission.

We devised the system to automatically shutdown the boiler and to fundamentally block the harmful gases, including carbon monoxide, into the indoor when the exhaust system swerves: (1) The discharge pressure of the exhaust gas decreases when the exhaust pipe is disconnected. The monitoring system of the exhaust pipe is implemented by measuring the output voltage of APS(Air Pressure Sensor) installed to control the amount of combustion air. (2) The operating software was modified so that when the system recognizes the fault condition of a flue pipe, the boiler control unit displays the fault status on the indoor regulator while shutting down the boiler. In accordance with the ventilation facility standards in the "Rules for Building Equipment Standards" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, experiments were conducted to ventilate indoor air. When carbon monoxide leaked in worst-case scenario, it was possible to prevent poisoning accidents. However, since 2013, the number of indoor air exchange times has been mitigated from 0.7 to 0.5 times per hour. We observed the concentration exceeding TWA 30 ppm occasionally and thus recommend to reinforce this criterion. In conclusion, if the flue pipe fault detection and the indoor air ventilation system are introduced, carbon monoxide poisoning accidents are expected to decrease significantly. Also when the manufacturing and inspection steps, the correct installation and repair are supplemented with the user's attention in missing flue, it will be served to prevent human casualties from carbon monoxide poisoning.

There has been a recent trend in Korea that treatments for combustible wastes among municipal solid waste (MSW) by those methods, such as incineration and landfill are restricted as much as possible and Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) are encouraged actively in order to promote resource recovery. To build and operate properly these facilities, the physicochemical characteristics of MSW should be analyzed precisely beforehand. In particular, designing a crusher or separator properly which is the main process in MBT facilities of MSW. require the information on the size distribution characteristics of MSW, but they are nor sufficient in the qualities and quantities yet as of now. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate size distribution characteristics of MSW and its physicochemical characteristics by size. The samples of MSW were collected from detached dwelling area, apartment area, business area, and commercial area of A city in Korea. According to the result of analysis, paper records 29.78~60.02% by wet weight basis, so it was the most regardless of the regions where the wastes were generated. And in terms of element analysis, Carbon(C) was 34.77~44.39%, the largest friction, and Oxygen(O) was the next occupying 19.46~33.71%. As indices of RDFs, Chlorine(Cl) was 0.39~0.83%, so it was less than the standard, 2.0%(by dry weight basis); moreover, Sulfur(S) did not exceed the standard, 0.6%, either. In the size distribution of MSW, waste fraction ranging 50~80mm in diameter was the most in combustible waste while 30~50mm was in incombustible waste.
