This paper summarizes the results of a two-year-long research project conducted by the CTBUH on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of tall building structural systems. The research project was made possible thanks to a $300,000 contribution from ArcelorMittal and the support of some of the most important structural engineering firms and players in the tall building industry. The research analyzed all life phases of a tall building's structural system: the extraction and production of its materials, transportation to the site, construction operations, final demolition of the building, and the end-of-life of the materials. The impact of the building structure during the operational phase (i.e., impact on daily energy consumption, maintenance, and suitability to changes) was also investigated, but no significant impacts were identified during this phase.

A life cycle assessment(LCA) is increasing its applicability as a powerful tool for an environmental burdens analysis. In this study, some cases are compared in terms of analysis procedures and results obtained with LCAs for evaluating power generation technologies in Korea. For the comparison, 3 power generation technologies are selected because they produces almost 90% of 2003 total electricity generation in Korea. It is shown that the range of evaluation values amounts to maximally the order of about 105, which is rather large discrepancy than the level of 101 in comparison with foreign studies. The difference seems to be due to the simplicity of modeling used in each case study. It is proposed that this large discrepancy should be obviously clarified to improve their reliability in that electricity is a essentialness for all industries and the capacity of LCA of national-level electricity affects the results of LCA for the other sectors.

기후변화협약과 탄소배출권문제 등 환경에 관한 관심과 규제 등이 국제적 주요 관심 사항이 되고 있는 상황에서 농업생산에 대한 환경영향평가의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 현재 우리나라는 환경부에서 시행하는 탄소성적표지제도 도입에서 농업분야의 LCI (Life Cycle Invemtory)database 부재를 이유로 1차 농산물을 대상에서 제외하고 있다. 따라서 농산물 탄소성적표지제도 도입을 위한 농업분야 LCI database에 대한 연구와 구축이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 농업생산체계에 대한 LCA 적용을 위하여 시설상추를 대상으로 LCI 구축과 LICA 수행을 위한 방법론을 고찰하였다. LCA의 방법론은 ISO 14040 규격에 의거하여 연구 목적 및 범위, LCI분석 (전과정 목록분석), LCIA(전과정 영향평가), 해석의 단계로 구성되었다. 연구 목적은 시설 상추재배체계에 대한 LCA 방법론 적용이며, 기능단위는 상추 1 kg 생산으로 하였다. LCI 구축을 위한 영농 투입물과 산출물에 대한 데이터 수집은 농진청의 농축산물소득자료를 중심으로 관련 통계, 문헌자료를 통하여 수집하였다. LCI 구축을 위한 자료 수집결과 상추를 재배할 때 투입되는 물질 중 유기질 비료와 무기질 비료의 시용과, 식물보호제의 투입이 주요배출인자로 분석되었다. 농업활동으로 배출되는 주요 환경부하물질은 비료가 시용된 토양으로부터 대기로 발생되는 $N_2O$와 수계로 배출되는 ${NO_3}^-$, ${PO_4}^-$과 농약잔류물질로부터 발생되는 유기화학물질, 농기계에 쓰이는 화석연료 연소에 의한 대기오염물질 등 이었다. LCIA는 해외의 LCA 방법론과 LCA적용사례를 조사하여 농업분야 LCIA 방법론에 대하여 고찰하였다. LCIA는 분류화, 특성화, 정규화(일반화), 가중화의 4단계로 이루어지며, 이 중 분류화와 특성화는 의무절차이고, 정규화와 가중화는 선택사항이다. 해석단계는 LCI 분석결과와 LCIA 결과에 대하여 검증하고, 결과로부터 도출된 환경적 문제점과 개선안 등을 제시한다. LCA 수행에 사용하는 국내 소프트웨어는 지경부와 환경부에서 개발하여 보급하고 있는 'PASS'와 'TOTAL' 이다. 그러나 국내 프로그램에 적용되고 있는 환경영향평가 모델은 국외에서 개발한 기존모델들이다. 그러므로 보다 정확한 농업분야 LCA 분석이 가능하도록 추후 국내 농업환경에 적합한 영향평가 모델 및 특성화, 일반화, 가중화 계수의 선정 등이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The Korean government recently has rediscovered the potential value of Han-Ok, the Korean traditional house, as an eco-friendly building. In order to objectively verify the environmental performance of Han-Ok as a low carbon green building, this paper suggests the analysis method of GHG emission load of Korean traditional house, based on Life Cycle Assessment, which is commonly abbreviated to "LCA". The environmental impacts caused by building construction and operation can be analyzed through the sum of input and output data from every phase. The study particularly describes the GHG reduction effect by using traditional building materials such as wood products, traditional clay roof tiles, and mud, which are mainly used to construct Han-Ok. Also the study proposes the method for comparative analysis of quantity of GHG emissions in building's entire life cycle so that the data can be used as a reliable basis to optimize the environmental performance of building.

건설산업에서 LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)를 활용하여 환경영향을 평가하려는 시도가 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 제한된 사업예산과 일정으로 인해 신속한 의사결정을 수행해야 하는 국내 건설산업에서 모든 자재와 에너지를 대상으로 환경부하량에 대한 검토를 수행하는 것은 곤란하다. 따라서 친환경성 확보를 위한 의사결정과정에서 환경부하 저감을 위해 중점적으로 검토가 수행되어야 하는 주요 영향인자와 이를 환경영향평가로 연계할 수 있는 정량화된 정보의 제공이 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 정보의 제공을 위해 도로건설공사 사례의 LCA결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 경유, 레미콘, 우레탄계도료, 골재, 아스팔트콘크리트가 도로 토공작업부에서 환경부하량의 93.17%를 발생시키는 주요 영향인자로 조사되었다. 도로 토공작업부 1km를 시공할 때 이들 영향인자에 의해 발생하는 총환경비용은 약 242백만원이며 레미콘과 아스팔트콘크리트의 작업물량 10%를 절감함에 따라 5.02%와 2.28%의 탄소배출량 감축효과를 얻을 수 있다. 두 자원의 탄소배출량 감축을 통해 1km당 약 11백만원의 환경비용을 절감할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 도로 토공작업부의 탄소배출량 감축을 위해서는 레미콘과 아스팔트콘크리트의 사용량을 감소시키기 위한 신공법이나 친환경자재의 적극적인 개발과 도입이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A life-cycle assessment (LCA) is based on the attention given to the environmental protection and concerning the possible impact while producing, making, and consuming products. It includes all environmental concerns and the potential impact of a product's life cycle from raw material procurement, manufacturing, usage, and disposal (that is, from cradle to grave). This study assesses the environmental impact of the ultra pure water process of semiconductor manufacturing by a life-cycle assessment in order to point out the heavy environmental impact process for industry when attempting a balanced point between production and environmental protection. The main purpose of this research is studying the development and application of this technology by setting the ultra pure water of semiconductor manufacturing as a target. We evaluate the environmental impact of the Precoat filter process and the Cation/Anion (C/A) filter process of an ultra pure water manufacturing process. The difference is filter material used produces different water quality and waste material, and has a significant, different environmental influence. Finally, we calculate the cost by engineering economics so as to analyze deeply the minimized environmental impact and suitable process that can be accepted by industry. The structure of this study is mainly combined with a life-cycle assessment by implementing analysis software, using SimaPro as a tool. We clearly understand the environmental impact of ultra pure water of semiconductor used and provide a promotion alternative to the heavy environmental impact items by calculating the environmental impact during a life cycle. At the same time, we specify the cost of reducing the environmental impact by a life-cycle cost analysis.

Global warming has become a major issue all over the world. Noting the carbon dioxide emissions as a main contributor to global warming, we studied on the methods to reduce the life cycle building carbon emissions. Green Building Certification Criteria(GBCC) has been implemented since 2002 in Korea, but it doesn't estimate the quantities of the $CO_2$ emissions. Therefore, we studied the ways to implement the $CO_2$ emissions in quantity to GBCC. We select a government building which was rated excellent by the GBCC. This office building was regarded to excellent building by GBCC but not good for energy consumption. It was found energy glutton buildings for research by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security in 2010. This part of GBCC is need to be improved.. Also LCA (Life Cycle assessment) was carried out to estimate on carbon footprint on this office building. So we need to implementing quantitative evaluation on the amount of carbon emissions by GBCC. And it is possible to implementing quantitative evaluation on the amount of carbon emissions. Through this study, we expect that quantitative assessment of life cycle carbon emissions of buildings by the GBCC. Also expect to reduce the carbon emissions of the building by improving the GBCC.

Pursuing sustainable development throughout society and industry and the field of environmental policy, each international organization or nation has performed international standardization projects on environmental management activities for their system as well as environmental assessment for a product such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle inventory database (LCI DB), and the environmental aspects have been increasingly demanded as crucial evaluation specifications. Moreover, the conventional environmental policy, which represents the direct-control, has been more dependent on the market forces and product itself after the Climate Change Convention., and the Integrated Product Policy (IPP, EU) is applied vigorously to strengthen global competitiveness of a product and to achieve the effect of environmental improvement for it. According to change of the international railway market, the value of Eco-Design has been increasingly important in developed countries including EU. Thus, each country is establishing its own guidelines, software and database for each product, and developing new policies through Eco-Design with practical results in marketing. To react this and develop Korean railway as an environment-friendly industry with priority to other transportation system as well as maintain high place in technology, the direction of RACE software development of main function is introduced, which is exclusively used for EMU to assess both environmental and economic aspects with LCA and eco-efficiency (EE).

본 연구에서는 국내외에서 법적, 제도적 측면의 외적 정비뿐만 아니라, 학계 및 산업계의 제품별 사례분석 및 적용 측면에서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있는 LCA와 DfE기법을 제조공정에 적용하였다. 구체적으로, 지게차 제조공정을 대상으로 LCA 기법을 적용하여 환경부하가 가장 큰 제조공정을 규명하고, 그 공정에 DfE 기법을 적용하여 친환경적인 제조공정을 설계하였다. 지게차 제조공정에 대해 LCA를 수행한 결과, 영향범주별로는 생태독성과 인간독성에 대해, 그리고 공정별로는 제관공정과 도장공정에서 환경부하가 크게 나타났다. 제관공정에서 환경부하를 줄이기는 현실적으로 어렵기 때문에, 도장공정에서 발생하는 환경부하를 저감하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지게차의 도장공정에 기존에 사용하고 있는 용제형 도료의 고형분 함량을 늘려 high solid형 도료를 개발하여 적용한 결과, 환경영향(LCA의 환경영향지수)가 20% 저감되었다. 또한, VOC발생량은 약 32%, 도료 사용량은 약 20%의 저감효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
