1997년 12월 일본 교토에서 개최된 COP3를 계기로 1999년 3월 에너지보존법이 대폭적으로 개정 및 강화되어졌다. 지구온난화의 주된 원인이 되는 이산화탄소는 에너지와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으므로, 에너지보존·자원보존의 추진은 지구온난화 대책의 추진과 동등한 의미를 가지고 있다고 하여도 과언이 아니다. 여기서는 건축설비계획의 관점에서 에너지보존법 개정의 요점과 그 대응책에 관해서 개요를 소개하였다.

Proposing a method for the estimation of the social cost for global warming impact (external cost) is the aim of this paper. Both the endpoint approach and conjoint analysis were applied to estimating the social cost for global warming. The endpoint approach was used to assess the damage on the safeguard subjects by global warming due to the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The conjoint analysis was used to estimate the economic values for safeguard subjects which measure the social preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) on safeguard subjects. The economic values of human health and social asset were estimated at 62,261,700 Won / DALY (yr) and 10,000 Won / 10,000 Won, respectively. Moreover, cost factors of GHGs were calculated by multiplying the damage factor which is quantified the unit damage on safeguard subject and the economic value. In the case of CO$_2$, the cost factor was calculated at 13.52 Won / kg (13,520 Won / ton). External cost of products or services can be calculated by multiplying the GHG inventory result of products or services by the cost factor of each GHG. inventory.

The potential impact of water temperature on sea level and air temperature rise in response to recent global warming has been noticed. To predict the effect of temperature change on river water quality and aquatic environment, it is necessary to understand and predict the change of water temperature. Air-water temperature relationship was analyzed using air temperature data at Buan and water temperature data of Shinsi, Garyeok, Mangyeong and Dongjin. Maximum and minimum water temperature was predicted by neural network and the results show a very high correlation between measured and predicted water temperature.

The purpose of this study was to look into students' understandings of environmental issues, especially issues on global warming in South Korea and Singapore. We surveyed students (n=2,389, from 6 to 10 years) from 12 schools in South Korea and 5 schools in Singapore on how useful students believe various actions might be in reducing global warming, and their willingness to undertake such actions. We employed questionnaires developed by Boyes, Skamp, & Stanisstreet (2009), which consists of 44 questions on 16 pro-environmental actions. We analyzed the degree of students' beliefs, willingness to act, and the relationship between the believed usefulness of action and willingness to act. Differences between the two countries were determined by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) using the ordinal data and the potential effectiveness of education was explored by plotting the measures of the degree of willingness to act for a particular action against the value of the believed usefulness of action and fitting the regression line. The degree of willingness to act and their beliefs in the usefulness of action was different from question to question between the two countries, however, the overall relationship between willingness to take action and beliefs in the action has shown to be stronger among Singaporean students than those of South Korean students. Based on the findings, we attempted to discuss about how environmental education needs to take into account the complexity of beliefs, willingness to act, and action taking.

다산기지 주변 해역인 스발바드섬은 북반구 해빙 분포지역의 가장자리에 위치해 있으며 해빙의 이동이 비교적 빠른 지역이다. 지구 온난화의 영향을 받는 대표적인 지역으로 이 지역의 해빙변화에 대한 연구는 지구온난화의 지표로서 중요성을 가진다. 스발바드섬 주변의 해빙에서 얻어진 다편파 SAR 데이터를 분석하여 해빙에 대한 후방산란계수의 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 데이터 획득에는 ENVISAT/ASAR (2002 년 발사 C-밴드, 다편파 사용)과 PALSAR (2006 년 발사, L-밴드, 다편파 사용)의 두 가지 SAR 가 이용되었으며 데이터 획득 시기는 해빙의 변화가 활발한 4 월경이다. 기본적으로 L-밴드와 C-밴드의 두 가지 밴드별 차이에 관한 특성을 알아보고 기타 후방산란계수에 영향을 주는 요소들에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

To resolve the Global Warming problem, it have to reduce $CO_2$ emission. Korea need to do actively more the effort to reduce the emission because $CO_2$ emission per person is top level in the world. It is performing variously. However, we should recognize the $CO_2$ emission attribute to decrease $CO_2$. Analyzing $CO_2$ emission of the construction equipment is important in this aspect. Present, the most popular $CO_2$ emission measuring method is the way using fuel consumption and emission factor. But this method have the problem of reliability because can't reflect the factor being out of proportion at fuel consumption. This study analyzed the reason of difference and compared to the emission factor method after calculate $CO_2$ emission in direct measurement method.

The potential impact of water temperature on air temperature in response to recent anthropogenic global warming has been noticed. To predict climate, induced change in river aquatic environment, it is necessary to understand the thermal constrains of fish species and the timing of the projected river temperature. As a preliminary study, air-water temperature relationship was analyzed on the basis of the observed data during the time period of 2009-2011 and the number of data corresponds to 873-1083. As a result of analyzing the auto-and cross-correlation coefficient between air-water temperature, high correlation is shown (~0.9). It is also found that the correlation coefficient of air temperature is higher than that of water temperature at the lag time less than approximately 10 days. Observed data was divided into two groups to investigate hysteresis: rising limb and falling limb. For some stations there is strong evidence that hysteresis exist between air-water temperature relationships. Consequently it is recommended that seasonal hysteresis needs to be included in determining an airwater relationship.

This study has been performed to define the standard of runoff coefficients which are applicable to the process of route design or various public facilities design. The application of accurate runoff coefficients is very important in construction works due to the fact that the abnormal weather and torrential downpour are raising. However, in Korea society, as planner's subjective judgement of an object region status would make the application of erroneous runoff coefficients, many problems have been occurred. Consequently, in this study, we could perform terrain analysis and rainfall basins extraction with GIS technoques and suggest the application standard of runoff coefficients in accordiance to terrain characteristics and the land covers. By having the application of the study results to past flooded areas, we could suggest improved plans.

Air conditioners adopting high energy efficiency and low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant are being developed globally. In case of commercial air conditioner, R32 with lower GWP than R410A is attracting industrial attentions. In this study, the performance of water-to-water geothermal heat pump adopting R32 is compared with that of the heat pump using R410A. By using R32 instead of R410A, heating capacity and COP in heating standard condition can be increased by 8.8% and 6.3% respectively. Also, cooling capacity and COP in cooling standard condition can be increased by 5.3% and 3.1% respectively by using R32. But in case of using R32, systemic improvements are required to decrease discharge temperature of compressor since discharge temperature rises abnormally in heating operations.

최근 지구온난화 등 기후변화에 따른 돌발 홍수가 계절과 관계없이 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 국지성 호우 및 태풍의 영향으로 인한 홍수피해가 매년 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 정확한 강우 관측 및 홍수량 산정이 매우 중요하기 때문에 많은 수문학적 연구와 기술 발달이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중 강우의 변화를 실시간으로 관측 가능한 레이더영상 자료의 활용성이 증대되어 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 제주도의 경우 다른 지역에 비해 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 따라, 제주도 유역을 대상으로 유역의 공간적 특성을 격자기반으로 분석하고 매개변수 산정 시 경험적 요인을 제거할 수 있는 분포형 모형인 Vflo와 기상청에서 제공하는 레이더 영상자료 및 강우자료를 활용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 Arc-GIS를 이용하여 제주도 도심하천인 외도천 유역의 지형적 지리적 특성(DEM, 토양도, 토지피복도 등)을 $30m{\times}30m$ 격자크기로 분석하고, 레이더영상 자료로부터 강우 자료를 추출하였으며, 분포형 모형(Vflo)을 활용하여 유출량을 모의하였다. FSIV기법을 통해 현장 관측한 유출량과 비교 분석하였으며, 레이더 영상자료로부터 추출한 강우자료는 AWS자료를 활용하여 제주도에 적합한 강우보정계수를 산정하였다. 이와 같은 연구를 통해 향후 제주도 미계측 유역의 홍수량 산정이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 하천기본계획 및 유역종합치수계획 등 치수계획 수립 시 많은 활용이 될 것으로 기대한다.
