released by IEA, 2010, indicated that Korea's GDP, of 8 countries surveyed-Korea, Frans, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the USA, and Australia-was the lowest, but the electric consumption per head was third, following America and Australia. Thus, our government has been striving to reduce energy usage and especially to lessen the energy used in buildings, proposing a variety of road maps such as 'building energy efficiency rating' and 'energy saving design standards of buildings'. Accordingly, this study investigated the effect of the items of machine part among EPI items on the energy saving rate. I measured energy usage by ECO2 program, for simulation program, that is used for the building energy efficiency rating. Result showed that items concerning control of pumps and fans had much more saving rate than the ones concerning efficiency of heater and cooler that had bigger scores assigned among EPI items. Result showed that items concerning control of pumps and fans had much more saving rate than the ones concerning efficiency of heater and cooler that had bigger scores assigned among EPI items. Therefore, I think that grades assigned to items in energy performance index need to be corrected.

The impervious area on the surface of urban area has been increased as buildings and artificial land cover have continually been increased. Urban development has gradually decreased the green zone in downtown and alienated the city from the natural environment on outskirt area devastating the natural ecosystem. There arise the environmental problems to urban area including urban heat island phenomenon, urban flood, air pollution and urban desertification. As one of urban plans to solve such problems, green roof system is attracting attentions. The purpose of this study was to investigate flood discharge and heat reduction effect according to the green roof system and to quantify effect by analyzing through simulation water and heat cycle before and after green roof system. For the analysis, Distributed hydrologic model, WEP (Water and Energy transfer Processes) and WEP+ model were used. WEP was developed by Dr. Jia, the Public Works Research Institute in Japan (Jia et al., 2005), which can simulate water and heat cycle of an urban area with complex land uses including calculation of spatial and temporal distributions of water and heat cycle components. The WEP+ is a visualization and analysis system for the WEP model developed by Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT).

Purpose: Many design index that are using in planning phase have been developed. The most popular things among them are Window to Wall Ratio and Surface to Volume Ratio. However there are some limits. Window to Wall Ratio cannot consider building size and Surface to Volume Ratio cannot do Window to Wall Ratio. Accordingly, in this paper, the Window to Floor Ratio was proposed that it can be considered both building size and Window to Wall Ratio. And analyzed correlation of energy demand. Method: For the test, 16 modules with the size of $6m{\times}6m{\times}4m$ were used to make 35 models with the same volume. The simulation was conducted to 945 cases using the window-to-wall ratio of 30, 50 and 70 % in three areas such as Seoul, Gwangju and Jeju and three kinds of windows. And IES_VE was used. Result: The findings above show that the Window to Floor Ratio that can be considered both building size and Window area have to become as design index. It was found out that design criteria with SHGC is necessary, not with the thermal performance (U-value). It is needed to additional analysis about residential building and the effect of 24-hours heating and cooling condition. It plans to carry out research to establish design indicators for climatic conditions in the country and building applications.

Background: The objectives of this study were to establish a swimming capability model for largemouth bass using the FishXing (version 3) program, and to determine the swimming speed and feasibility of fish passage through a waterway tunnel. This modeling aimed to replicate the waterway tunnel connecting the Andong and Imha Reservoirs in South Korea, where there is a concern that largemouth bass may be able to pass through this structure. As largemouth bass are considered an invasive species, this spread could have repercussions for the local environment. Results: Flow regime of water through the waterway tunnel was calculated via the simulation of waterway tunnel operation, and the capability of largemouth bass to pass through the waterway tunnel was then estimated. The swimming speed and distance of the largemouth bass had a positive linear function with total length and negative linear function with the flow rate of the waterway tunnel. The passing rate of small-size largemouth bass (10-30 cm) was 0%at a flow of $10m^3/s$ due to rapid exhaustion from prolonged upstream swimming through the long (1.952 km) waterway tunnel. Conclusions: The results of FishXing showed that the potential passing rate of large size largemouth bass (>40 cm) through the waterway tunnel was greater than 10%; however, the passage of largemouth bass was not possible because of the mesh size ($3.4{\times}6.0cm$) of the pre-screening structures at the entrance of the waterway tunnel. Overall, this study suggests that the spread of largemouth bass population in the Imha Reservoir through the waterway tunnel is most likely impossible.

Charles Stankievech's 2011 installation LOVELAND includes a wall-sized screen depicting video footage of a barren arctic landscape in an enclosed room, painted and bathed in white light, that appears as an extension of the imaged environment. A melodic and industrial musical score emanates from multiple sound panels and as the music increases a cloud of purple smoke becomes visible on the horizon line in the distance and gradually advances toward the viewer until it completely fills the screen. The smoke then remains, rushing about madly and lapping at the border between the screen and the room before it suddenly subsides and the spectator is again left with the desolate landscape. The entire process takes a mere five minutes and then, fixed on an endless loop, begins again. This paper positions LOVELAND as an attempt to simulate a sublime experience of the end of the world through a transposition of the Arctic atmosphere into the gallery space. Encompassing a discussion of the historical and contemporary significance of the Arctic in popular culture, aesthetics and environmental politics, it is suggested that Stankievech employs an apocalyptic trope in reference to the unstable position of the North in the current political and ecological climate. Revisiting critiques of modernist exhibition practices and investigating the perceptual and temporal dimensions of the work, this analysis focuses primarily on the experience of the installation's spectator. Visually, aurally and phenomenologically immersed, the viewer is made subject to, and implicated in, the events unfolding on the screen and within the space. Due to the looping of the video footage, this paper argues that the apocalypse imaged in LOVELAND is presented as an endless event - incessantly enacted, yet infinitely deferred - and that the spectator is enveloped in an uncertain and unceasingly extended present moment.

하천의 정상적인 기능 및 상태를 유지하기 위하여 필요한 최소유량을 의미하는 하천유지유량은 하천수질보전, 하천생태계보호, 하천경관보전, 염수침입 방지, 하구막힘 방지, 하천시설물 및 취수원보호, 지하수위 유지 등을 감안하여 산정하게 된다. 하천유량 변화는 하천내 동 식물에 영향을 미치며, 특히 고등 생물인 어류의 서식처, 산란장소 및 산란조건 등은 유량 및 수위변화에 민감하게 반응하므로 하천구간별 어류의 서식처 유지에 적절한 수심, 유속 등 수리 조건을 제공할 수 있는 유량을 산정하게 된다. 국내에서는 90년대 후반부터 생태계를 고려한 하천유지유량 개념이 도입되었으며, 어류의 적절한 수생 서식환경 평가를 위해 주로 유량 점증 방법론(IFIM, Instream Flow Incremental Methodology) 개념에 입각한 물리서식처 모형을 이용한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강수계 13개 지점을 선정하여 어류상 조사를 실시하여 어류의 물리서식처 모형과 수심-유속-유량 관계곡선을 이용한 간단법을 이용하여 생태계 보전을 위한 필요유량을 산정하였다. 어류 물리서식처 모형으로는 어류서식환경 평가에 가장 광범위하게 이용되고, 생태적 특성을 반영할 수 있는 유량점증방법론의 PHABSIM(Physical HABitat SIMulation) 모형을 선택하였다. 현장 모니터링 및 문헌조사를 통해 각 지점별 대표어종을 선정하고, 유량, 수심, 저수로 하천단면, 하상재료와 같은 수리특성을 조사하고, 선정된 한계단면에 대한 유량측정을 실시하였으며, 수심-유속-유량 관계곡선을 통하여 각 지점의 대표어종이 서식할 수 있는 최소유량을 산정하였다. 또한 지점별로 서식처 적합도 지수(HSI, Habitat Suitability Index)와 가중가용면적(WUA, Weighted Usable Area)를 산정하였으며, 이는 PHABSIM 모형의 적용에 이용되었다. 물리서식처 모형과 간단법 적용결과를 비교해본 결과, 모든 지점에서 물리서식처 모형 적용결과가 간단법에 비해 크게 산정되었는데, 이는 간단법이 성어기 서식에 필요한 최소 수리조건을 선택하였지만, PHABSIM의 경우 성어기 어류서식의 최적 수심 및 유속을 이용하여 가중가용면적을 산정하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 어류서식과 관련된 많은 관련 데이터가 축적된다면 어류서식처에 맞는 최적의 생태유량을 보다 정확하게 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

현재 하천 건천화에 따른 수생태계 교란 및 수질악화 등의 근본적인 문제가 발생하고 있으며, 최근 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장기조에 따라 조성되고 있는 신도시, 소규모 및 대규모 택지개발사업의 경우는 환경 친화적인 단지조성 요구에 부응하기 위해 기존 도심하천의 복원 및 인공하천의 녹색성장을 고려한 친환경적 생태하천으로 조성하고자 하는 다양한 노력이 시도되고 있으나 안정적인 생태복원의 수원확보 방안을 마련하지 못해 실제 설계가 반영되지 못하고 있다. 또한, 조성하고자 하는 소하천 혹은 실개울 등의 수질보전 및 생태계 보호 등 하천이 본래의 기능을 유지할 수 있도록 생태하천유량을 확보하는 다양한 기술들이 개발되어 있지만, 공사 유형과 주변 환경에 적합한 생태하천유량 확보 방안을 선정할 수 있는 비구조적 대책마련이 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 실정과 문제점을 고려해 볼 때, 조성하고자 하는 도시 내 자연하천 및 인공하천 조성 등 수변환경을 고려한 단지조성에 맞는 생태하천유량 확보 방안 및 평가에 대한 연구가 단계적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생태하천유량 확보와 하천수질 개선이 필요한 특정 지역 또는 다양한 유형의 공사 지구 내 하천이 정상적인 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 적용 가능한 생태하천유량 확보 방안들과 수리해석 모델인 HEC-RAS(River Analysis System), 생태하천유량 산정 모델인 PHABSIM(Physical HABitat SIMulation)을 연계한 물리서식처 평가 모듈을 개발하고, 이를 기초로 가중치부여매트릭스 평가(국토해양부, 2006) 기법을 적용한 최적의 생태하천유량 확보 방안과 수질개선 방안을 제시해 줄 수 있는 의사결정지원 시스템을 구축 하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 개발된 최적의 생태하천유량 확보 방안 도출을 위한 의사결정지원 시스템의 활용으로 필요유량은 물론, 기준을 만족하는 수질의 확보가 절실히 요구되는 중 소규모 하천에 실질적으로 적정수질의 생태하천유량을 확보함으로서 하천으로서의 역할을 위한 본 기능의 회복과 동시에 소하천, 도심하천 및 인공하천 등 중 소규모 수계의 수문순환을 정상화하여 하천의 지속 가능한 개발과 관리가 효율적으로 이루어지도록 하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 예상되어진다.

Purpose: In order to upgrade the energy performance of existing building, energy audit stage should be implemented first because it is useful method to find where the problems occur and know how much time and cost consumption for retrofit. In overseas researches, three levels of audit is proposed whereas there are no standards for audit in Korea. Besides, most studies use dynamic simulation in detail like audit level 3 even though the level 2 can save time and cost than level 3. Thus, this paper focused on audit level 2 and proposed the audit method with the simple linear regression analysis model. Method: Two parameters were considered for the simple regression analysis, which were the monthly electric use and the mean outdoor temperature data. The former is a dependent variable and the latter is a independent variable, and the building's energy performance profile was estimated from the regression analysis method. In this analysis, we found the abnormal point in cooling season and the more detailed analysis were conducted about the three heat source equipments. Result: Comparing with real and predicted models, the total consumption of predicted model was higher than real value as 23,608 kWh but it was the results that was reflected the compulsory control in 2013. Consequently, it was analyzed that the revised model could save the cooling energy as well as reduce peak electric use than before.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the energy saving and cost benefit analysis of the Low-income Energy Efficiency Treatment Program supported by KOREF(Korea Energy Foundation). This program was launched in 2007 and performs building energy retrofit for the low-income and energy poverty houses. Method: Energy simulation and cost benefit analysis were accomplished for the low-income detached houses. The structure of detached house was a lot og block structure, wood frame (single glass) and concrete roof. Baseline model of the low-income detached houses was proposed. Result: Annual heating energy consumptions were decreased by about 3.2% with the window system replacement(Case 1), 9.3% with reinforcement of insulation(Case2), and 12.5% with both(Case 3) compared to those of baseline model. The construction cost will be recouped within 5 years for the Case 1, 3 years for the Case 2, and 3 years for the Case 3. Case 3 was the most cost beneficient construction method in the analyzed cases in this study.

‘Environmental Literacy’ is defined as ‘one's individual status to be accomplished or to be acquired by environmental education’ and it has the same meaning as ‘the Goals of EE’. The purposes of this study was to identify the components of environmental literacy and analyse the related studies. Much of the work in EE has followed the path outlined by the Belgrade Charter, the Tbilisi Declaration, and later in Agenda 21. Over the years, scholars such as Hungerford et al., Iozzi et al., Roth, the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education, and the Environmental Education Literacy Consortium have examined and proposed a framework of ‘Environmental Literacy’. Recently, the influential framework developed by the NAAEE(the North American Association for Environmental Education) National Project for Excellence in EE included seven categories: affect, ecological knowledge, socio-political knowledge, knowledge of environmental issues, skills, additional determinants of environmentally responsible behavior, and environmentally responsible behaviors. According to the analysed results, 37.7% of the American studies and 32.5% of Korean ones measured aspects of the attitude. Especially, the measure of this variable in America, however, led to the most inconclusive and least positive outcomes. The studies included related to cognitive skills were very few but 100% reported positive impacts of instructions in two countries. In America, using a television documentary, a journal and the field trip were very useful and effective. But using a computer simulation/game was less effective and the supplemental instruction did't led to the positive effect. In Korea, instruction, the supplemental instruction and EE program led to positive outcomes generally. The lack of validity and reliability of the instruments was pointed out as a common problem and the development of valid and reliable instrument for nation-wide assessment is urgently needed.
