The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been regulating emissions by making mandatory the compliance with institutions aimed at protecting air quality such as the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Tier III. Under the circumstances, one of the response measures considered to be the most feasible is the replacement of existing marine fuel with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The industry has been preemptively building infrastructure and developing and spreading engine technology to enable the use of LNG-fueled ships. The IMO, in turn, recently adopted the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flash-Point Fuels (IGF Code) as an institutional measure. Thus, it is required to comply with regulations on safety-related design and systems focused on response against potential risk for LNG-fueled ships, in which low-flash-point fuel is handled in the engine room. Especially, the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention was amended accordingly. It has adopted the qualification and training requirements for seafarers who are to provide service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code exemplified by LNG-fueled ships. The expansion in the use of LNG-fueled ships and relevant facilities in fact is expected to increase demand for talents. Thus, the time is ripe to develop methods to set up appropriate STCW training courses for seafarers who board ships subject to the IGF Code. In this study, the STCW Convention and existing STCW training courses applied to seafarers offering service aboard ships subject to the IGF Code are reviewed. The results were reflected to propose ways to design new STCW training courses needed for ships subject to the IGF Code and to identify and improve insufficiencies of the STCW Convention in relation to the IGF Code.

This study was suggested to develop sustainable durability design system and proposed the plan to evaluate design conditions that meet the intended service life and $LCCO_{2}$ reduction level of reinforced concrete structure easily from the early design stage. For that the W/B and covering depth of the concrete structure were calculated through calculation of service life based on standard specification expression and the quantitative reduction rate of the vertical member of reinforced concrete structure by the calculated W/B was applied. Life cycle of building classified into construction stage, operation stage, maintenance stage, and demolition/disposal stage and the method of $CO_{2}$ evaluation of each stage was proposed. For construction stage, the major construction materials that take up over 80% $CO_{2}$ emitting during building construction were selected and the $CO_{2}$ evaluation method for 5 standard apartment houses was proposed. Also, for operation stage, $CO_{2}$ emission was calculated through calculation of heating load by energy efficiency rating certification system. For maintenance stage, $CO_{2}$ emission was calculated using concept of re-construction by life and for demolition/disposal stage was calculated with the use of construction standard estimate. As a result of the case study by such evaluation methods, 80 years of service life and 17 specifications of sustainable durability design that meet the 40% intended $LCCO_{2}$ reduction level were deduced. The Maximum $LCCO_{2}$ reduction rate was analyzed by 47.2%.

Purpose: Numerous researches about healthcare buildings have been performed however, they were mainly focused on convenience or healing condition for medical treatments. The hospitals consume energy and generate $CO_2$ as twice as the residential or commercial buildings do(Lim, et al., 2010a:154). The public regional hospitals are especially in serious conditions. They are more than 20 years old in average. Energy efficiency and environmental friendliness in the public regional hospitals are far behind ones in private sectors. Even though the ministry of health & welfare is supporting renovation of the builidngs and enhancement of the facilities every year, it is not integrated including sustainibility. In this study, we investigates current conditions of the regional public hospital in envrionment-friendly standpoint, especially focused on Chungcheong Province area Hospitals. Methods: we investigates current conditions of the regional public hospital in envrionment-friendly standpoint, especially focused on Chungcheong Province area Hospitals. The study was executed by qualitative and quantitative evaluations with site inspection, drawing analysis and interviews. Results: Through this study, we found that the Chungnam regional public hospitals can be environmentally improved by management plans and programs. Implications: Based on this analysis, Korean Green Building Certification for healthcare facilities will be developed in near future.

세계적인 탄소 중립에 동참하고자, 대한민국 정부에서도 '녹색건축물 조성 지원 법' 시행령을 통해 2030년까지 모든 건축물에 대해 제로에너지 건축물 인증을 진행할 계획에 있다. 이에 따라 국가적으로도 비교적 생활 밀접 접근성이 좋은 태양광 발전과 관련한 여러 사업을 지원하고 있다. 특히 지붕 설치형 태양광 발전 시스템의 경우 환경 파괴 없이 유휴 공간을 활용하여 에너지를 생산한다는 측면에서 주목받고 있지만, 다른 태양광 발전 설비 대비 낮은 발전효율이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 부분을 해소하고자, 단축형 태양광 추적을 위한 태양광 패널 구조물에 관한 연구를 통해 효율적인 태양광 패널 각도 가변 시스템을 제안하고 더불어 지붕 설치형 태양광 발전 시스템의 적용 환경을 고려해 태양광 패널의 파손 및 2차 피해 예방을 위한 방안을 제안한다. 더불어 ICT 융합을 통해 태양광 패널을 제어, 사고 예측 안전 시스템 구성을 프로젝트 기반의 교육 프로그램 연계 구성이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

물산업 우수제품 지정제도는 우수제품의 기술규격을 만족하는 물산업 우수제품을 사용자가 우선 구매토록 유도하여 국내 물기업의 기술개발 촉진 및 시장 활성화를 통한 물산업 선순환 구조 조성을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 2가지 용량의 펌프를 대상으로 물산업 우수제품으로 지정된 제품과 일반제품의 비용측면의 장점에 대한 객관적인 근거를 사용자에게 제시하고자 하였다. 비용측면의 장점에 대한 분석방법으로 생애주기비용 분석(Life Cycle Cost; LCC)을 통한 경제성 평가를 실시하였고, LCC에 필요한 각종 자료를 조사하였다. 조사한 항목으로는 초기투자비용(펌프 구매비용, 설치비용), 운영비용(에너지비용, 유지관리비용) 및 철거비용(폐기 비용, 잔존가치)이다. 2가지 용량의 우수제품과 일반제품을 비교한 결과, 1,860m³/h 용량(이하 대용량)에서 15년의 운영기간동안 우수제품의 생애주기 비용이 대략 212백만원 정도 적게 소요될 것으로 예측되었으며, 360m³/h 용량에서는 우수제품의 생애주기 비용이 17백만원 정도 적게 소요될 것으로 예측되었다. 또한, 대용량 펌프의 우수제품에 대하여 민감도 분석을 추가로 실시하여 펌프 생산 시 제품의 생애주기 비용을 절감하기 위해 고려해야 할 사항을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 펌프의 효율 향상과 소모품의 교체주기를 증가시키는 방향으로 제품을 개발하는 경우, LCC에 미치는 효과가 클 것으로 예측되었다.
