Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors are devices that simultaneously produce electricity and heat. Research on conventional air-type PVT collector focuses on installing baffles to enhance the collector's thermal performance. However, the baffles have pressure drop inside the collector which degrades the thermal performance. Thus, it is necessary to design baffles to smoothen the flow inside the air-type PVT collector. Alternatively, installing perforated baffles in air-type PVT collectors can reduce the collector weight, but parameters such as the diameter of the perforated holes and the height of the perforated plates should be considered. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to analyze thermal characteristics of each variable of perforated baffles installed inside air-type PVT collector. For this purpose, the uniformity of air flow in the collector was compared through NX program, and the resultant heat gain and thermal efficiency of the air-type PVT collector were compared and analyzed. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to analyze thermal characteristics of each variable (Baffle angle, length, height, pitch, perforated ratio) of perforated baffles installed inside air-type PVT collector. For this purpose, the uniformity of air flow in the collector was compared through CFD program, and the resultant heat gain and thermal efficiency of the air-type PVT collector were compared and analyzed. As a result, the maximum outlet temperature was increased by 1.45 times and the heat gain was increased by 193.8 Wth, depending on the perforated baffle plate, compared to the collector without the baffle. The heat transfer performance showed that the maximum internal velocity was 1.61 times higher and the Reynolds number was 1.06 times higher depending on the parameters of the baffle plate.

In high-density high-rise cities such as Hong Kong, buildings account for nearly 90% of energy consumption and 61% of carbon emissions. Therefore, it is important to study the design of buildings, especially high-rise buildings, to achieve lower carbon emissions in the city. The carbon emissions of a building consist of embodied carbon from the production of construction materials and operational carbon from energy consumption during daily operation (e.g., air-conditioning and lighting). An integrated analysis of both types of carbon emissions can strengthen the design of low carbon buildings, but most of the previous studies concentrated mainly on either embodied or operational carbon. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to develop a holistic methodology framework considering both embodied and operational carbon, in order to enhance the sustainable design of low carbon high-rise buildings. The framework will be based on the building information modeling (BIM) technology because BIM can be integrated with simulation systems and digital models of different disciplines, thereby enabling a holistic design and assessment of low carbon buildings. Structural analysis program is first coupled with BIM to validate the structural performance of a building design. The amounts of construction materials and embodied carbon are then quantified by a BIM-based program using the Dynamo programming interface. Operational carbon is quantified by energy simulation software based on the green building extensible Markup Language (gbXML) file from BIM. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) will be applied to analyze the ambient wind effect on indoor temperature and operational carbon. The BIM-based framework serves as a decision support tool to compare and explore more environmentally-sustainable design options to help reduce the carbon emissions in buildings.

This paper examines the actions and the factors driving those actions to reduce energy consumption and enhance energy efficiency taken by United States cities. While not much empirical evidence is available on why governments pursue practical sustainability actions, we attempt to shed more light on this important topic by empirically identifying factors that contribute to concrete actions toward sustainability policies. We adopt political market theory as a basic theoretical framework with policy-making applied to city energy consumption. Using the 2010 ICMA (local government sustainability policies and program) data, this study expands the focus of analyses to evaluate the effect of the form of government on energy consumption and energy efficiency by using multiple regression analysis. The findings show that at the city level, the mayor-council form of government are negatively associated with governments' efforts to reduce energy consumption. However, cities with at-large elections and municipal ownership are more likely to adopt sustainability actions. We also find that a large-scale economy has significant effects on the effort to reduce city energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. This shows that environmental policies are directly connected to locally relevant affairs, including housing, energy use, green transportation, and water. Thus, local level administrators could take an executive role to protect the environment, encourage the development of alternative energy, and reduce the use of fossil fuel and coal energy. These efforts can lead to important environmental ramifications and relevant actions by municipal governments.

Since most Green House Gases (GHGs) and air pollutants are generated from the same sources, it will be cost-effective to develop a GHGs reduction plan in combination with simultaneous removal of air pollutants. However, effects on air pollutants reduction according to implementing any GHG abatement plans have been rarely studied. Reflecting simultaneous removal of air pollutants along with the GHGs emission reduction, this study investigated relative cost effectiveness among GHGs reduction action plans in Busan Metropolitan City. We employed the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a methodology that evaluates relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) producing multiple outputs with multiple inputs, for the investigation. Assigning each GHGs reduction action plan to a DMU, implementation cost of each GHGs reduction action plan to an input, and reduction potential of GHGs and air pollutants by each GHGs reduction action plan to an output, we calculated efficiency scores for each GHGs reduction action plan. When the simultaneous removal of air pollutants with the GHGs reduction were considered, green house supply-insulation improvement and intelligent transportation system (ITS) projects had high efficiency scores for cost-positive action plans. For cost-negative action plans, green start network formation and running, and daily car use control program had high efficiency scores. When only the GHGs reduction was considered, project priority orders based on efficiency scores were somewhat different from those when both the removal of air pollutants and GHGs reduction were considered at the same time. The expected action plan priority difference is attributed to great difference of air pollutants reduction potential according to types of energy sources to be reduced.

국가 비전으로 천명된 녹색성장의 배경에는 기후변화와 지속가능한 발전 세계화, 현 정권의 대선공약, 아 태지역의 경제성장 논리가 자리 잡고 있다. 녹색성장은 지속가능한 발전에 비해 환경보전과 사회정의에 대한 배려가 부족하다. 명호를 '녹색발전'으로 변경하고, 사회통합부분이 수용되어야 한다. 기후변화는 지리학에 대한 수요를 증가시킬 것이고 그 자체는 지라학의 실험장이 될 것이다. 지구촌의 현안은 점차 복잡계의 특성으로 이행되고 있다. 이러한 경향은 지구시스템학과 지속가능학과 같은 연구 응용 프로그램을 태동시켰으며, 지리학은 이들 프로그램의 포털로 간주되고 있다. 녹색지역개발을 위해서는 전체론적 관점에서 지역의 잠재력을 파악하고 적정한 발전목표를 탐구해야 한다. 세계적 생산 네트워크에 편입할 수 있는 잠재력을 지닌 지역과 그렇지 아니한 지역은 서로 발전방향이 달라야 한다. 생태적으로 건강한 도시지역을 위해서는 지역 내에서 생산과 소비가 긴밀히 연결되어 순환 고리가 형성되도록 지역발전전략이 선택되어야 한다. 녹색생활양식은 저탄소의 기초를 이룬다. 한반도의 기후환경이 변하고 에너지 효율화가 요구되는 조건에서 녹색발전을 성취하기 위해서는 지리학적 통찰력과 상상력이 절실하다.

Recently environmental regulations like the Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, required the reduction of the greenhouse gas of 5.2% up to 1990's emissions and 13th General Assembly in 2007, held in Bali of India, have agreed to duty reduction even in developing countries in 2013. Korean government needs research on climate change and greenhouse gas management, such as carbon emissions calculation system and the introduction of greenhouse gas reduction program. Using Top-Down approach with method of IPCC, greenhouse gas emissions from energy, transportation, agriculture, land use and forest, and waste was calculated. Total amount from Shiheung-City in 2007 was about 3,299.581 tons of greenhouse gas $CO_2$. By sectors, the total greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector mostly accounted for 78 percent, 12 percent from transportation, 6 percent of waste, the landuse/forest sector, 4% of the greenhouse gas emissions. Approximately 5,401,618 tons of the greenhouse gas $CO_2$ was total amount from Ansan-City in 2007. The share of energy sector greenhouse gas emissions was the highest portion of 79 % and 14 percent of transportation, 4% from the waste sector, 3 % from landuse/forest sector.

Red phosphors, $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$, were synthesized as a single-phase crystal structure by optimizing carbon and $Eu^{2+}$ contents in a carbothermal reduction nitridation method. With increasing $Eu^{2+}$ contents, the photoluminescence spectra were red-shifted from 600 nm peak for 1 mol% for to 700 nm for 7 mol%. It was suggested that this red shift is attributed to the energy transfer from one low-energy sited $Eu^{2+}$ (1) to other high-energy sited $Eu^{2+}$ (2). Finally, the best red sample (620 nm emission peak and 80 nm half width for 3 mole% of $Eu^{2+}$) was packaged on a Blue LED together with two additional green and yellow phosphors, the fabricated White LED showed a high color-rendering index of 90 and white color coordinates of x= 0.321 and y = 0.305.

A polymeric host for triplet emitters composed of N-alkylcarbazole and tetramethylbenzene units was successfully synthesized. Efficient energy transfer was observed between this polymeric host and green phosphorescent dyes. The device fabricated using 5 wt% green 1 in the polymeric host as the emitting layer showed the best performance. Thin films of this host-guest system, exhibiting clear stripe patterns could be prepared through the LITI process. The patterned films were then used to fabricate electrophosphorescent devices, which show performance characteristics similar to those of spin-coated devices. The new host material is a good candidate to be used in polymer-based full-color electrophosphorescent light-emitting displays.

본 논문은 저에너지 건축물 보급을 활성화하기 위하여 시행되고 있는 국내외 인센티브 제도를 비교분석하고 이를 통하여 국내 저에너지 건축물 인센티브 제도의 개선을 모색하기 위한 목적으로 한국, 캐나다, 미국, 싱가폴의 국가단위, 지방정부단위 제도를 분석 대상으로 하였다. 인센티브 제도의 체계는 1) 인센티브 종류 및 수혜자의 규정, 2)성능기준 및 평가방식의 정립, 3) 통합설계지원, 4) 재원의 확보를 근간으로 구성된다. 한국을 제외한 모든 국가들이 통합설계에 참여하는 전문가에 대한 인센티브 제도를 도입하고 있으며, 신축 중심 인센티브가 리모델링 건축물을 포함하는 방향으로 전환되고 있다. 인센티브 제도의 근간인 성능기준은 각 프로그램이 속한 국가 또는 지방정부가 규정하는 통합에너지성능분석기준에 따라 통합성능에 따른 지원이 주를 이루고 있으며, 개별 기술에 대한 지원을 보완하여 지원 범위 확대 경향을 보이고 있다. 통합 성능의 경우에도 초기 시뮬레이션에 의한 검증에서 실제 에너지사용량에 의한 검증으로 전환되어 시공품질 및 건물운영에 점차적으로 비중을 강화하고 있다. 통합 디자인 자체에 대한 지원과 자료 데이터베이스를 운영하여 성능기반 건축물 시장으로의 빠른 재편과 신산업 육성을 기대하고 있다. 안정적인 제도 운영을 위하여 재원확보가 필수적인데, 세금이 가장 일반적이고, 에너지 사업자 지원 또는 에너지 사용량에 따른 누진제를 통해 재원을 확보하는 보다 적극적인 재원확보 방안도 제시되고 있다.
