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.

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.

Environmental problems like global warming have now become important issues that should be considered in all industries, including construction. In South Korea, many studies have been conducted to achieve the government's goals of reduction in environmental impacts. However, the research on buildings has only focused on CO₂ emission as a research target despite the fact that other environmental impacts resulting from ozone depletion and acidification should also be considered, in addition to global warming. In this regard, this study attempted to propose assessment criteria and methods to evaluate the environmental performance of the structures from various aspects. The environmental impact category can be divided into global impacts, regional impacts, and local impacts. First, global impacts include global warming, ozone layer depletion, and abiotic resource depletion, while regional impacts include acidification, eutrophication, and photochemical oxidation. In addition, noise and vibration occurring in the building construction phase are defined as local impacts. The evaluation methods on the eight environmental impacts will be proposed after analyzing existing studies, and the methods representing each environmental load as monetary value will be presented. The methods presented in this study will present benefits that can be obtained through green buildings with a clear quantitative assessment on structures. Ultimately, it is expected that if the effects of green buildings are clearly presented through the findings of this study, the greening of structures will be actively expanded.

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.

Water supply and sewerage systems are the large-scale urban infrastructure ejecting large amount of environmental load over the life-cycle. Therefore, it is important not only to optimize in the aspect of economical superiority and process efficiency but also to consider earth scale environmental impact. This study aimed to suggest the establishment of life cycle management(LCM) system as an integrated management solution in urban water supply and sewerage systems. As a result, the methodology for LCM system consisting of life cycle assessment(LCA), life cycle cost(LCC), life cycle $CO_{2}(LCCO_{2})$ and life cycle energy(LCE) was developed. Also, several case studies using the latest statistics data of water supply and sewerage systems were carried out to investigate the field applicability of LCM.

This study is to make LCIA(Life Cycle Impact Assessment) easier as a methodology of environmental scores(called E-score) that integrated environmental load of each emission substance based on environmental damage such as in human health, ecosystem and resources category. The concept is to analyzes the LCI(Life Cycle Inventory) and defines the level of environment damages for human health, ecosystem and resources to objective impact assessment standard, and makes the base of marginal damage to calculate the damage factor, which can present the indication that can establish the standard value of environmental impact. First, damages to human health are calculated by fate analysis, effect analysis and damage analysis to get the damage factor of health effect as a DALY(Disability Adjusted Life Years) unit. Second, damages to ecosystem are calculated by fate analysis, effect analysis and damage analysis to get the damage factor of the effect as a PDF(Potentially Disappeared Fraction) unit through linking potentially increased disappeared fraction. Third, damages to resources are carried out by resource analysis and damage analysis for linking the lower fate to surplus energy conception to get damage factor as a MJ(Mega Joule) unit. For the ranking of relative environment load level each other, LCIA can be carried out effectively by applying this E-score methodology to the particular emission substances. A case study has been introduced for the emission substances coming out of a tire manufacturer in Korea. It is to show how to work the methodology. Based on such study result, product-designers or producers now can apply the E-scores presented in this study to the substances of emission list, and then calculate the environment load of the product or process in advance at any time and can see the environment performance comparatively and expected to contribute to the environmental improvement in view of environmental pollution prevention.

환경문제에 대한 인식의 확산과 함께 건설산업에서도 건축물로 인한 환경영향을 저감하고자 하는 연구가 수행되었으나, 대부분의 연구는 이산화탄소에 집중되어 왔다. 하지만, 이산화탄소로 대표되는 지구온난화 뿐만 아니라 다양한 환경영향이 존재하며, 해외에서는 이러한 환경영향에 대한 포괄적인 분석이 적극적으로 시행되고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 건축물로 인한 환경영향을 보다 포괄적으로 평가할 수 있도록, 6가지의 환경영향 범주를 정의하였다. 즉, 지구온난화, 오존층파괴, 자원고갈, 산성화, 부영양화, 광화학산화를 환경영향 범주로 정의하고, 평가 기준들을 제시하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제시한 환경영향 범주에 대한 평가의 필요성을 검토하기 위하여 2가지 비교 설계안을 대상으로 사례분석을 시행한 결과, 지구온난화만을 평가한 것과는 상이한 결과가 도출되었다. 즉, 이산화탄소로 대표되는 지구온난화 지수를 기준으로 비교하면 2안이 우수한 것으로 판단되었지만, 6가지 영향범주 모두를 평가한 결과에서는 1안이 우수하다는 결과가 도출되었다. 이는 지구온난화 뿐만 아니라 다양한 환경영향을 포함하여 평가하는 것이 보다 타당한 결과 도출을 유도할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 건축물에 대한 환경영향을 평가하기 위하여, 본 연구에서 제시한 6가지 환경영향 범주를 사용한다면, 보다 타당한 결과의 도출이 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

환경영향평가는 전과정평가(Life Cycle Assessment : LCA)의 인벤토리 분석과정에서 규명된 환경부하의 값으로 표현하고 상대적인 중용도를 측정하는 단계이다. 이러한 가중치를 측정하므로서 개별제품 또는 기술에 대한 환경부하의 영향을 평가하는데 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 환경영향평가에 대한 분석에서 환경부하의 상대적인 중요도 혹은 가중치를 산출하기 위하여 일반적으로 이용되는 계층적 의사결정모형(Hierarchical decision model)의 한계인 요인들간의 독립성을 극복할 수 있는 즉, 의사결정요인간 상호영향력을 가지는 네트워크 구조(Network decision model)에서도 사용될 수 있는 의사 결정모형( Analytic Network Process : ANP)을 도입한다. ANP로부터 얻어지는 각 의사결정요인의 가중치는 환경부하의 수준을 결정하는데 용이하게 이용할 수 있다.
