The fire protection system for high-rise buildings is currently confined to the preparation of sprinklers, emergency stairs, and exit and monitoring systems. On the other hand, an integrated system, including the model with scenario-based actions, is required for effective fire protection. An integrated fire protection system is needed to operate and manage the total cycle of the fire protection. In this study, an integrated fire protection system, which included sensing and consequent processes related to fire emergencies, was designed and implemented. The designed scheme can gather and analyze the data of the production, operation, and consumption patterns as it integrates fire protection systems for fire fighters and evacuating people. The integrated fire protection technology and system, which has target performance with satisfied 1/2 sec transaction response time and 1.2 transactions per second, is expected to contribute to market creation in converged technology-based fire protection fields.

This study examined job satisfaction among fire protection system management workers in the fire industry and analyzed how job satisfaction affects turnover intention. The results revealed that, among the control variables, including age, rank, academic background, payment, total career, license, and tasks, significant differences in job satisfaction were found in the tasks between groups, while no significant differences in turnover were found in any control variable between groups. Additionally, the results revealed that, among the lower variables of job satisfaction, increased satisfaction with payment and organizational system affected the degree of turnover intention, while work and promotion did not. These results are to be used as data for human management of technicians and for creating alternatives. Future studies are required to establish a reasonable task rotation cycle for raising job satisfaction, to examine the current status of low-cost orders and countermeasures, and to analyze the direction of development of fire protection system management business.

Purpose: A lot of active researches have addressed the impact of a building on global environment, but most of the researches focus on a residential building and a large office building. Hereupon, this study assessed the impact on environment quantitatively through the analysis of input materials targeting a school building. Method:This study calculated embodied energy of input materials suggested in a construction statement on a school building using the input-output analysis. This study finally carried out environmental impact assessment by applying LCIA DB shown in the preceding researches to the calculated embodied energy. Result: The analysis result revealed that the environmental impact per unit area(/$m^2$) at a school building was $4.11E-02PE{\cdot}yr$, among which Construction was found to be $3.59E-02PE{\cdot}yr$, being analyzed to account for about 87% of the total environmental impact. Also, as a result of detailed environmental impact, the impact on global warming among the total environmental impact was analyzed to be high, accounting for about 76%.

This study aims to calculate the $CO_2$ emissions by the properties of construction waste to establish a LCI DB of construction waste generated at the disuse stage. The $CO_2$ emissions from apartment houses was calculated by calculating the energy consumptions by treatment steps to calculate the $CO_2$ emissions by the treatment steps of construction waste. As a result of analyzing the $CO_2$ emissions from a total of 27 complexes, maximum 46,791g-$CO_2/m^2$, minimum 34,893g-$CO_2/m^2$ and average 38,713g-$CO_2/m^2$ were generated, and were varied by the quantity of construction waste in general, but were affected by the transportation distance in case of transportation steps as well. As a result of analyzing the $CO_2$ emissions by the properties of construction waste, average 19,815.50g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage in case of construction wastes, and 1.72g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, during reclamation. In case of combustible waste, average 11,495.63g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex during incineration of wastes, and 21.48g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the waste transportation stage. In case of noncombustible waste, average 522.43g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage, and 1.07g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the transportation stage. In case of other construction wastes, average 645.42g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage, and 47.38g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the middle treatment stage.
