LCA is nowadays getting popular as a tool to assess the environmental impacts. We can assess the environmental impacts of products and also compare the environmental performance between products with LCA. Furthermore, the LCA results can be used for designing eco-friendly products. But LCA needs an enormous amount of data collection, calculations of energy and material balance. which required to spend pretty much time and cost. However, If we use Input-Output Analysis, There is a lot of advantages that we can save time and cost to calculate and also analyze energy-material balance more comprehensively. Therefore, we implemented the fundamental research of the environmental impact assessment on railway system using life cycle inventory analysis and Input-Output Analysis method.

본 연구는 기획단계에서 건축물의 이산화탄소 배출량 평가에 개략평가모델인 I-O LCA 모델의 활용 가능성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, I-O LCA 모델과 Hybrid LCA 모델을 정의하고, 두 LCA 모델을 이용하여 아파트 3개 단지와 3개 교육시설물에 대한 이산화탄소 배출량을 평가하고, 결과를 비교하였다. 사례분석 결과, I-O LCA 모델을 통해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량은 Hybrid LCA 모델을 통해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량과 상당히 유사하였다. 아파트 단지의 경우 78.2-86.3%의 유사도를 나타내었고, 학교 건축물의 경우 59.9-84.8%의 유사도를 나타내었다. 하지만, 전반적으로 I-O LCA 모델에 의해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량은 Hybrid LCA 모델의 결과에 비해 작았다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 사례분석 결과는 총공사비를 유일한 입력요소로 하는 간단한 모델인, I-O LCA 모델이 상당히 높은 정확도를 가진다는 사실을 보여주었다. I-O LCA모델은 프로젝트의 초기 기획단계에 건축물의 이산화탄소 배출량을 예측하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study suggests the effectiveness of an "extended" power system evaluation methodology based on LCA and energy input-output analysis techniques. This "extended" evaluation methodology is designed to incorporate total energy system costs through fuel cycle and external costs, including CO$_2$abatement cost. As an empirical test, we applied the methodology to orimulsion-fired power generation technology and found that orimulsion could be considered as in attractive base-load power generation fuel in terms of economic and environmental aspects, compared to conventional coal-fired power plant.

지구온난화와 같은 환경문제에 대한 인식의 확산과 함께 대한민국 정부는 탄소배출량을 2020년까지 BAU 대비 30% 감축하는 것을 목표로 다양한 정책 및 제도를 마련하고 있다. 이에 따라, 건설산업 분야에서는 건축물로부터 배출되는 이산화탄소를 적절하게 관리하고 감축하기 위한 방법에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 건축물에 대한 정확한 이산화탄소 배출량 평가를 위해서는 건축자재에 대한 상세한 수준의 이산화탄소 배출량 데이터가 필요하지만, 현재까지는 대표적인 자재의 데이터만 제시되어 왔다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 건축물의 시공에 필수적으로 사용되는 구조용 강재인 철근과 H형강의 이산화탄소 배출량 데이터를 강도 및 규격에 따라 상세한 수준으로 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 산업연관표를 바탕으로 하는 산업연관분석법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 강도 및 규격에 따른 구조용 강재의 이산화탄소 배출량 데이터를 활용하면, 다양한 구조설계안에 대하여 보다 정확한 이산화탄소 배출량 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

As a global effort to conservate the environment, life cycle assessment(LCA) which considers the environmental impact through the life cycle of a product, from acquiring of resources to scrapping, has been actively applied. The LCA is a tool to calculate quantitatively the environmental impacts caused by products or services through their life cycles. The list of numerous data should be analyzed, stored and conducted in order to assess the environmental impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a software for LCA, which can perform the interpretation as well as the environment impact assessment to execute the analysis of such a large number of data effectively. At this time, for the existing some kinds of general LCA softwares, the information about all of input and output should be fed directly and the conclusion is deduced by linking to the database from the public authorized organizations. That makes it possible to evaluate the environmental grades accurately, but it is too slow and difficult for general users to operate and applied it into an electric motor unit(EMU). Therefore, in this research, the basic model was designed, which is based on construction of database structure of the software and organization of architecture, to develop an advanced software for EMU according to user and purpose of it by benchmarking of domestic and international softwares. The result of this study would be applied to develop the LCA software in the future.

Uncertainty and variability in Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) have been significant key issues in LCA methodology with techniques in other research area such as social and political science. Variability is understood as stemming from inherent variations in the real world, while uncertainty comes from inaccurate measurements, lack of data, model assumptions, etc. Related articles in this issues were reviewed for classification, distinguish and elaboration of probabilistic/stochastic health risk analysis application in LCA. Concept of focal zone, streamlining technique, scenario modelling and Monte Carlo/Latin Hypercube risk analysis were applied to the uncertainty/variability analysis of health risk in LCA. These results show that this general framework of multi-disciplinary methodology between probabilistic health risk assessment and LCA was of benefit to decision making process by suppling information about input/output data sensitivity, health effect priority and health risk distribution. There should be further research needs for case study using this methodology.

Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impacts of glass bottle recycle. The LCA consists of four stages such as Goal and Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory(LCI) Analysis, Life Cycle Impact Assessment(LCIA), and Interpretation. The LCI analysis showed that the major input materials were water, materials, sand, and crude oil, whereas the major output ones were wastewater, $CO_2$, and non-hazardous wastes. The LCIA was conducted for the six impact categories including 'Abiotic Resource Depletion', 'Acidification', 'Eutrophication', 'Global Warming', 'Ozone Depletion', and 'Photochemical Oxidant Creation'. As for Abiotic Resource Depletion, Acidification, and Photochemical Oxidant Creation, Bunker fuel oil C and LNG were major effects. As for Eutrophication, electricity and Bunker fuel oil C were major effects. As for Global Warming, electricity and LNG were major effects. As for Ozone Depletion, plate glasses were major effects. Among the six categories, the biggest impact potential was found to be Global Warming as 97% of total, but the rest could be negligible.

Recently, Goverment's Energy-saving policy in Korea as 'Green Growth' is very remarkable effort. By intensive poliicies, the private is encouraged to participate in policy. Especially, it is very important in the field of architecture and we have to work for construction of law system. However, these efforts of the government buildings for energy efficiency in use stage is as mandatory system that may occur in the construction phase and the enviromental impact of greenhouse gas reductions is not affected. For this reason, Assess the amount of the energy consumption and CO₂ emissioont of Government Buildings in 2010 ordered by PPS(Public Procurement Service) in the construction phase and suggest to recognize the need for legal restrictions.

LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), that unifies the scale of various environmental impacts, and simulated annealing are applied to optimizing electrolysis of wastewater from PCB (Printed Circuit Board) production. The changes of environmental impact can be quantified with LCA and the total changes of environmental impacts can be expressed as a function of power consumed, Cu recycled, $Cl_2$, NOx and SOx discharged through restriction of feasible reactions. In a single-variate condition, the environmental optimum can be easily obtained through plotting and comparing each environmental impact value. In 8V potentiostatic electrolysis, the lowest environmental impact can be achieved after 90min. To optimize a multi-variate conditional system, simulated annealing can be applied and this can give the quick and near optimum in complex systems, where many input and output materials are involved, through experimentally measured values without a theoretical modeling.

In this study, Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impacts of a metallic can. A 360 mL volume of an aluminum can bottle was used as the functional unit. The results of Life Cycle Inventory(LCI) showed that iron ore and coal were the major parts of the input materials, whereas aluminum can products, carbon dioxide, wastewater, and hazardous wastes were those of the output ones. According to LCA weighting, it was observed that the most significant impact potential was found to be global warming(49.11%) followed by abiotic resource depletion(47.72%). In the whole system, cold rolled steel coil showed the largest environmental impact potential(86%), followed by electricity(14%). Meanwhile, lubricating oil and industrial water had the minor portion of the total environmental impact potentials. It was suggested that the use of cold rolled steel and electricity should be the main source for $CO_2$, resulting in the big impact on global warming.
