Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas causing climate change. This study quantified annual direct and indirect uptake of carbon by urban greenspace, and annual carbon release from vegetation maintenance and fossil fuel consumption. The study area was whole Chuncheon and Kangleung, and also two districts of Kangnam and Junglang in Seoul, cities located in middle Korea. Carbon uptake by urban greenspace played an important role through offsetting carbon release by 6-7% annually in Chuncheon and Kangleung. For Kangnam and Junglang, where the population density was relatively higher, urban greenspace annually offset carbon release by 1-2%. Future possible tree plantings could double annual carbon uptake by existing trees in urban lands (except natural and agricultural lands) of a study city. Based on study results, planning and management guidelines for urban greenspace were suggested to save energy and to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations. They included selection of optimum tree species, proper planting location from buildings, design of multilayered planting, amendment of existing regulations for greenspace enlargement, avoidance f intensive vegetation maintenance, and conservation of natural vegetation.

The growing global interest in energy saving is particularly evident in the building sector. The transmitted solar irradiance is an important input in the prediction of the building-energy load, but it is a value that is difficult to measure. In this paper, a calculation method, for which the total horizontal irradiance that can be easily measured is employed, for the measurement of the transmitted solar irradiance through windows is proposed. The method includes a direct and diffuse split model and a variable-transmittance model. The results of the proposed calculation model are compared with the TRNSYS-simulation results at each stage for the purpose of validation. The final results show that the CVRMSE over the year between the proposed model and the reference is less than 30 %, whereby the ASHRAE guideline was achieved.

열차 운영사의 관점에서, 열차 운행에 관한 주요 관심사는 정해진 운행시간의 준수뿐만 아니라, 그와 동시에 열차 운행을 위해 소비되는 에너지 량을 최소화하는 것이다. 일반적인 수동 운전시, 기관사는 운행 노선의 특성에 따라 미리 규정된 최대 속도 프로파일을 기준으로, 노치를 제어함에 따라 규정 속도를 넘지 않도록 열차의 가감속을 조절한다. 이때 규정 속도를 준수하면서 동시에, 전체 운행 중에 소요되는 에너지 량의 절감을 위해, 기관사가 적절한 노치를 선택할 수 있는 구간별 노치 지정 가이드가 있어야 하며, 이는 운행구간에서의 노치 단계 최적화라는 절차를 통해 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 운행 환경뿐만 아니라, 열차가 운행 중에 일시적으로 잔여구간의 트랙 정보 또는 규정속도 정보가 변경되는 이벤트 발생시에도 변화된 정보들을 기반으로 실시간으로 잔역구간의 노치 단계를 최적화 할 수 있는 유전 알고리즘을 활용한 실시간 노치 최적화 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 유전 알고리즘을 통해 얻어진 최적해를 적용할 때 에너지 절감 효과와 최적해 수렴특성에 관하여 분석하였다.

최근에 에너지 절감에 대한 관성이 증가하고 있으며 IT분야에서도 IT서비스를 에너지 효율적으로 제공하는 그린 IT에 대한 관심이 높다. 특히, 대량의 전력 소모가 발생하는 데이터센터를 에너지 효율적으로 구축하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 그린 데이터 센터 구축은 개인에 의존하는 단계로 구축시 창조할 가이드라인이 부족하다. 특히 공조시설의 복잡성이 에너지 효율적인 센터 걸림돌이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 그린 데이터 센터 구축을 위한 태스크와 활동, 그리고 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

Broad studies have addressed the issue of structural element damage identification, however, rubber bearing, as a key component of load transmission between the superstructure and substructure, is essential to the operational safety of a bridge, which should be paid more attention to its health condition. However, regarding the limitations of the traditional bearing damage detection methods as well as few studies have been conducted on this topic, in this paper, inspired by the model updating-based structural damage identification, a two-stage bearing damage identification method has been proposed. In the first stage, we deduce a novel bearing damage localization indicator, called element relative MSE, to accurately determine the bearing damage location. In the second one, the prior knowledge of bearing damage localization is combined with sailfish optimization (SFO) to perform the bearing damage estimation. In order to validate the feasibility, a numerical example of a 5-span continuous beam is introduced, also the noise robustness has been investigated. Meanwhile, the effectiveness and engineering applicability are further verified based on an experimental simply supported beam and actual engineering of the I-40 Bridge. The obtained results are good, which indicate that the proposed method is not only suitable for simple structures but also can accurately locate the bearing damage site and identify its severity for complex structure. To summarize, the proposed method provides a good guideline for the issue of bridge bearing detection, which could be used to reduce the difficulty of the traditional bearing failure detection approach, further saving labor costs and economic expenses.

This paper describes the development of various lighting equipment adapting Ultra Constant Discharge Lamp that has newly been on commercial supply in the market. Meeting the required conditions of lighting equipment, various types of UCD Lamp equipment with excellent performances could be successfully developed. In order to provide a guideline for the economical lighting product selection, the analyzed data comparison between Hi-pressure Sodium Lamp which has been the most popular lamp for street lighting and UCD Lamp is provided. The conclusions of the study are made as follows; (1) The performance measurement result of UCD Lamp shows excellent Luminous Efficacy as 108Lm/W, daylight-like Color Rendering Index as 90Ra, and the best operating temperature range as $-50^{\circ}C{\sim}+85^{\circ}C$. Comparing to the Hi-pressure Sodium Lamp, UCD could be evaluated as much superior products. (2) In an assembled status with the lighting fixture (Type STB형-60W), UCD Lamp was tested OK for one hour duration at the temperature range form $-50^{\circ}C$ to $+85^{\circ}C$ and the humidity of 98%. The operation at the extremely low temperature can be an excellent feature to enable the export to the cold temperature regions such as Northern Europe and Russia and the specific applications for defense systems and special industry. (3) As UCD Lamp is a genuine Korea made product following Energy-saving and Eco-friendly policy, it should be appreciated as one of the best $CO^2$ reduction Green product.

This study evaluated the indoor air quality of 26 government offices located in Seoul. The pollutant samples were taken from Jan. 13th to Jan. 29th and Feb. 20th to Feb. 23rd, 2010 in the offices. The target indoor pollutants for this study were $PM_{10}$, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total bacteria counts, total volatile organic compounds, radon, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and asbestos which were controlled by the indoor air quality law for the multiple-use facilities management. The results of this study showed that some pollutants of the 38.5% offices exceeded the standards of the air quality guideline. The correlation analysis of the same pollutants between indoor and outdoor represented that $NO_2$ (r=0.629, p<0.05) and $O_3$ (r=0.459, p<0.01) were significant, however, $PM_{10}$ and CO were not. The correlation analysis between different pollutants showed that CO and TVOC (total volatile organic compounds: r=0.724; p<0.01), CO and $NO_2$ (r=0.674; p<0.01), HCHO and humidity (r=0.605; p<0.01), $CO_2$ and TVOC (r=0.534; p<0.01), TBC (total bacteria counts) and Asbestos (r=0.520; p<0.01) were significant. The energy-saving system of government buildings in winter caused under-ventilated and poor air quality. This study suggests that the concentrations of radon and $CO_2$ should be used as an indicator for monitoring indoor air quality and maintaining effective ventilations.

2009년 덴마크 코펜하겐에서 개최된 UNFCCC 제15차 당사국 총회(COP15)에서 우리나라는 2020년 BAU 온실가스 배출량 대비 30%의 온실가스를 감축하는 국가 온실가스 중기 감축 목표를 공식적으로 발표한 바 있다. 감축 목표를 성공적으로 달성하기 위해서는 산업계뿐만 아니라 전 국민이 기후변화의 심각성을 이해하고, 온실가스 감축에 적극적으로 참여하도록 하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 국민에게 다소의 불편을 초래할 수 있는 녹색 생활에의 적극적인 참여는 설득력 있는 정보의 제공 없이 단순한 구호만으로는 이루어질 수 없다. 저탄소 생활 가이드라인을 제안하고 녹색 생활로 인한 온실가스 배출량의 감축 가능성을 과학적으로 제시하여, 기후변화 대응 생활의 패러다임 형성 및 행동 양식을 변화시키도록 유도함으로써 달성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생활 속 온실가스를 감축 방안으로써의 쿨맵시와 온맵시에 의하여 냉 난방 수요를 감소시킴으로써 줄일 수 있는 온실가스의 양을 정량화하고자 하였다. 쿨맵시란 여름을 시원하게 보낸다는 의미의 영어 'Cool'과 옷을 차려입은 모양새를 의미하는 순 우리말 '맵시'를 합친 말로, 넥타이를 매지 않으면서도 격식을 지킬 수 있는 시원하고 멋스러운 비즈니스 옷차림을 의미한다. 재킷을 입지 않거나 넥타이를 매지 않는 편안한 차림을 하는 것만으로도 체감온도를 낮춰, 냉방에너지를 절약하고 온실가스를 줄임으로써 지구온난화도 예방하고 건강도 증진하는 친환경 패션이다. 또한, 온맵시는 겨울철에 내복을 입음으로써 체감 온도를 높여 난방 에너지 절약을 가능하게 하는 옷차림이다. 이 캠페인의 중요성은 인지하고 있지만, 쿨맵시 또는 온맵시와 같은 기후복장 착용으로 어느 정도의 에너지 절약과 온실가스 배출량 저감효과가 있는 지에 대한 정량적인 연구는 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실험을 통해 쿨맵시 및 온맵시 복장 착용에 의한 피부 온도 변화를 측정하여 이를 바탕으로 냉 난방 에너지 절감량과 온실가스 감축잠재량을 산정하였다.
