Cool roofs are currently being emerged as one of important mechanism to save energy in relation to the building. Although green roof has already gained nation-wide recognition as a typical method of energy saving in the roof, this approach did not provide a realistic evidence that is economically feasible in terms of installation cost. This research is primarily intended to compare installation cost between the two techniques. This research proposes a comparative evaluation framework in a more objective and quantitative way for an installation cost between the two techniques. Kyungpook National University (KNU) was selected as a survey objective and an exhaustive and realistic comparison of installation cost between the two techniques was conducted, based on Life Cycle Cost analysis (initial investment cost, maintenance cost, dismantling and waste disposal expense). It was possible to identify that installation cost of cool roofs is 4.7 times cheaper than that of green roof. Also present value based on probabilistic approach was identified as 0.25 (4.95) higher than the installation cost on the assumption of constant price and interest. It is expected that much more installation cost for the large scale green roof will be required since small-size green roof selected as a survey objective in this study could be operated under less initial installation and maintenance condition.

Development of the technologies for offshore wind power is proceeding actively and the installation capacity is continuously increasing because of its many advantages in comparison with the land wind power. Accordingly, project for Southwestern 2.5GW offshore wind power plant is in progress in Korea. Design of electric power systems for offshore wind power plant is very important due to its high investment and operational costs. Hence, it needs to be designed in order to minimize costs. This way can be employed in determining the installation location of offshore substation for HVAC wind power plant. According to the offshore substation site, MV inter-array cable and HV export cable lengths vary and they change a total cost regarding submarine cable. This paper represents cost models with variables which are MV inter-array cable and HV export cable lengths to locate the offshore substation for HVAC wind power plant. It is classified into submarine cable installation cost, reactive power compensator installation cost, ohmic losses, and unsupplied energy cost. By minimizing a total cost, an appropriate installation site of the offshore substation is determined.

In this study, cost analysis of electrokinetic (EK) restoration process for desalination of saline agricultural land was performed for field application based on a pilot scale field application. For reasonable cost analysis, EK process was classified into three major parts: system design, installation and operation. Cost of system installation consists of materials and installation for electrode/electric wire, power supply and data monitoring, drainage system, etc. Operation cost was calculated based on electrical consumption and water charges for EK process. Total cost for EK process was 2,943,013 won for $1000m^2$ in greenhouse area. Cost for system installation was 2,553,786 won, that is, 87% of total cost, while cost for system operation was 389,229 won, that is, 13% of total cost.

본 연구에서는 배전계통의 부하지점의 부하형태에 따른 정전비용의 영향을 고려하여 분산전원을 설치함으로써 운영비용 및 정전비용을 최소화하는 방안을 제안하였다. 가정용, 산업용, 상업용, 사무용 및 농업용 등 부하형태를 실제 계통과 유사하게 고려함으로써 정확한 신뢰도 지수와 운영비용을 구할 수 있고, 이를 통해 총 운영비용 최소화에 더욱 접근할 수 있다. 특히 정전시 각 부하지점에 설치된 분산전원에 의해 전력이 공급되어 전력구입 비용과 정전비용의 경우 효과적으로 감소됨을 알 수 있었으며, 정전빈도와 정전시간이 감소되어 전력 공급률이 향상되어 신뢰도 지수가 좋아졌음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a method to improve reliability by dispersed generation (DG) installation considering load types and interruption cost. The objective functions such as power losses cost, operation cost of DGS, power buy cost and interruption cost are minimized for reliability improvement and efficient operation. The several indices for reliability evaluation are improved by dispersed generation system installation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate various means of wind power turbines installation in the Korean west-south wind farm (Test bed 100 MW, Demonstrate site 400 MW). We presented the marine environment of the southwest offshore wind farm in order to decide the appropriate installation vessel to be used in this site. The various vessels would be WTIV (Wind turbine installation vessel), jack-up barge, or floating crane ${\cdots}$ etc. We analyzed the installation cost of offshore wind turbine and the transportation duration for each vessel. The analysis results showed the most suitable installation means for offshore wind turbine in the Korean west-south wind farm.

Preference studies regarding the elderly housing have been conducted to find out design features in specific needs of certain elderly groups with their various demographic characteristics. The purpose of this study was to investigate preference for accessible design features for the elderly and find out the differences in preference whether the cost information was given or not. Contrast to the previous studies, we suggested some alternatives to fulfill the accessible goals. Preference for each option was investigated and differences in preference with its cost information was also investigated. The total of 700 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using SPSS 18.0. As a result, to remove the level differences, respondents prefer installation of trench to installation of deck or ramp. When people received the cost information, the proportion of selection for each option has slightly changed. The findings of the study suggest that cost information is an important factor for choosing the option for removal of level difference, installation of sink design and holding bars, and installation of elevator. Regardless of age, the respondents prefer sliding door option (its cost is equal to the other option), one of the door option for bath room. It may be due to the relative small area for its installation. It was found that when people recognized the importance of the accessible design features higher, they are ore likely to pay for the option even though its cost is higher. The higher people evaluate the importance of accessible design features, the more they can pay for the option. In general, for the preference of alternatives, there are significant differences between the elderly and the younger.

The shorter the electric power line is, the less its cost becomes. In this paper, the Steiner tree is applied to find the shortest path of the electric power line to obtain resultant cost reduction. Up to 18.3[%] of length reduction can be expected compared to conventional method when the lines are connected through the Steiner points, which also can result in appreciable cost reduction.

This paper presents and analyzes the effects of on-grid electricity cost, fuel price and initial capital cost of a CHP system, on the optimum DG and AC capacity and NPV, by using the ORNL CHP Capacity Optimizer, which was applied to a library in a university. By considering the current domestic energy cost and initial capital cost, it is shown that the installation and operation of the CHP system is not economical. However, with the current domestic CHP installation cost and fuel price, the NPV achieved by the installation of CHP system is greater when the on-grid electricity price is a factor of ${\times}1.5$ the present value. Regarding the initial capital cost of the CHP system, the reduction of the DG cost is much more economical than that of the AC cost, with respect to NPV. Electricity cost and fuel price have opposite effects on NPV, and NPV is more sensitive to an increase of the electricity cost than an increase of the fuel price.
