2014년 개정된 물의 재이용 촉진 및 지원에 관한법률(이하, 물재이용법)에 따라서 빗물이용시설의 수는 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이나 실제 연간사용량의 경우 연별 증가량은 미미하다. 또한 2016년도 환경부 하수도 통계에 따른 2,043개의 빗물이용시설 중 집수면적 미파악시설의 749개, 여과시설 유무 미파악시설 564개, 연간 운영비 산출 불가능 시설 1,843개, 연강 사용량 미집계 시설 905개로 관리실태가 부실함을 확인할 수 있다. 이에 빗물이용시설의 설치·운영 실태조사 및 문제점을 분석하고 빗물이용이 비교적 활성화 된 시설을 대상은 현장조사를 수행을 통해 빗물이용시설의 현황을 분석하고 현실적인 여건을 반영하여 빗물이용을 활성화할 수 있는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 물재이용법에 따른 빗물이용시설 법정의무대상시설의 빗물활용처는 전체의 약 92%가 조경요수로 활용하고 있으며, 다음으로 청소화장실용수(약 3%)로 활용하고 있다. 건축물 용도에 따라서 골프장, 공공기관청사/공공업무시설, 대규모점포, 실내체육관/종합운동장, 학교의 경우 건축물 용도별로 각 30% 정도가, 공동주택의 경우 약 60%가 빗물이용시설을 활용하고 있음에도 빗물을 사용하지 았는 것으로 파악되었다. 이는 빗물을 사용해야하는 시기에 저류조에 저류된 빗물의 양이 부족한 것과 운영비 부담 순으로 조사되었다. 따라서 빗물이용시설의 빗물이용활성화를 위해서는 물수요-공급에 대한 개념을 도입한 물수지 분석이 필요하며, 운영비 부담을 줄일 수 있는 다양한 방안을 탐색하는 것이 적절할 것이다. 현장조사 결과에서도 기술 등의 발달로 빗물이용시설은 잘 구축되고 있으나 활용처에서 필요한 필요수량에 따라 활용률이 상이한 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 실태조사 및 현장조사를 바탕으로 빗물이용시설의 빗물이용 활성화를 위한 방안에 대하여 기술적 및 제도적 방안에 대해서 제안하였다.

Recently, energy resource management is a major concern around the world. Energy management activities minimize environmental impacts of the energy production. This paper presents design and prototyping of a home electric energy monitoring system that provides residential consumers with real time information about their electricity use. The developed system is composed of an in-house sensing system and a server system. The in-home sensing system is a set of wireless smart plug which have an AC power socket, a relay to switch the socket ON/OFF, a CT sensor to sense current of load appliance and a Kmote. The Kmote is a wireless communication interface based on TinyOS. Each sensing node sends its detection signal to a home gateway via wireless link. The home gateway stores the received signals into a remote database. The server system is composed of a database server and a web server, which provides web-based monitoring system to residential consumers. We analyzed and presented energy consumption data from electrical appliances for 3 months in home. The experimental results show the promising possibilities to estimate the energy consumption patterns and the current status.

Recently, the proportion of single-person households is on the increase in Korea, expected to reach 34.6% in 2035. Among the single-person households, Young single family households are facing greater difficulties due to high house prices in Korea. The government is expanding its support to Young single family, executing various policies such as public lease housings, private lease housings for youth, youth dormitory, etc. The purpose of this study is to understand the exact housing requirement of Young single family households who have different lifestyles with other age groups and provide base line data for youth house planning which will be in use later on. Study methods are shown below. First, this research studied the status and characteristics of Young single family households by looking into literature. Second, by studying previous studies concerned with life style and housing preferences of youth, the tool for investigating preferences and needs of housing environment by Young single family households was composed. Third, survey on characterstics of space usage, preferences and needs on flat composition, and preferences of interior design were conducted based on lifestyle of Young single family-households. The survey was conducted as an online survey using SNS for 150 Young single family holds from the age of 20 and 39, including students and office workers from December 2018 to January 2019. The results are as following. (1) Looking into the space usage characteristics, considering that various activities other than basic functions take place in bedroom and living room of small-sized Young single family households, we need to consider this additionally when planning the housing. (2) Looking into the preferences and composite needs of flat composition, the subjects demand separate bed room and more living room space, and also demand expansion of living room space where various activities take place and additional storage such as dress room in bed room (3) The preferences toward interior design show preferences toward modern style and achromatic color, a representative color. The subjects also prefer floor finishing materials normally used for living spaces, and indirect, soft lighting that uses wall. Also, there are differences between interior design preferences between students (20's) and office workers(30's) due to their different lifestyles. Research is needed to propose practical residential environment requirements and plans through a case study of actual public rental housing and a wider range of users.
