Sustainability continues to gain traction in all industry sectors as people become aware of the advantages of green products. The voluntary use of green products in buildings in the United States continues to grow due to long-term cost saving and the ecological benefit to nature. The voluntary installation of green products is associated with end-users' expectations and perceptions including cost saving, sustainable behavior, and social responsibility. Although involuntary use of green products has similar expectations and perceptions, the installation decision is not based on the goodwill from end-users. This paper surveys college students to capture current experience levels, expectations, and perceptions in regard to green products and/or sustainability and to understand their attitudes about involuntary use of a green product. The installation of low water pressure showerheads in a dormitory provides data to support perception, expectation, and future direction of adoption of green products in public buildings. This information may be used to facilitate sustainable behaviors among involuntary groups regarding to the adoption of green products. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the college students' perception of a green product, particularly when the students are involuntarily exposed to the green products. As a secondary objective, the paper also attempts to address the college students' general understanding on sustainability and green products. The findings of this study could support the growing importance of sustainable behavior among higher education beyond social responsibility and provide a benchmark against which to improve future change while fostering sustainable behaviors over time among the public.

본 논문은 한국인의 에너지 절약의식이 TV 등 에너지관련 방송매체의 매개효과를 통해 에너지 절약행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 각 변수에 대한 구조화된 설문조사를 기반으로 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS Macro를 이용한 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석의 결과 에너지 절약의식이 높은 사람일수록 에너지 절약행동을 많이 하고 있으며, 특히 에너지관련 방송미디어에 노출될수록 에너지 절약행동을 활발하게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 방송매체별 효과를 분석한 결과 에너지 공익광고 및 캠페인을 통한 효과가 15.3%로 가장 컸으며, 다음으로 에너지 뉴스를 통한 효과가 12.1%로 분석되었다. 이에 비해 에너지 다큐멘터리는 에너지 절약행동에 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 에너지 절약행동을 활성화하기 위해서는 에너지관련 방송의 빈도를 높이면서, 에너지 절약행동을 유도할 수 있는 에너지 다큐멘터리를 강화하는 방송정책의 수립이 필요하다. 또한 향후 에너지 절약행동에 의한 실제 절약정도를 나타내는 전력사용 영수증이나 유류비 사용액 등 실증자료를 통해 분석의 신뢰도를 높이는 노력이 필요하다.

This paper aims to highlight the importance of employee participation in green management in hotel firms. In particular, the study examined the role of employee participation in green management on cost saving as a hotel's performance indicator. We collected data from senior and general managers in Korean and US hotels. The results of the study supported our hypotheses, showing that the employee participation had a significantly positive relationship with cost savings in hotels. The results of the study also supported other hypotheses, showing that resource conservation and green building management had positive relationships with cost savings in hotels. Therefore, it can be predicted that green management can save cost in hotel firms. Such managerial implications are discussed.

Fatigue life prediction of mechanical components is necessary to develop new products, which is very expensive and time-consuming. This paper reviews technologies proposed for computation of dynamic stress in mechanical components. The methods based on multibody dynamics are considering more real operational conditions than other methods. The technology for fatigue life prediction without the prototype for experiment results in cost and time saving. This technology can be applied to design of various mechanical components like carbody.

It is very important that there are saving resource and energy in the future as well as in these day. Weight saving of structural parts, which are formed by extrusion, plays a key role in manufacturing field. Extruded aluminum parts' cross sections are constant in the axial direction by conventional extrusion method. Especially these aluminum parts used in the car need other processes to vary the cross section in the axial direction. Thus, applications of these parts are limited by high cost. if the cross section of the parts is variable by only extrusion, application of extruded aluminum parts will more increase. Therefore, a new CNC extruder which can control the section area of a car part was invented the nation's first. Using the extrusion machine, the experiment was performed to validate the workability.

Most advanced countries are researching to apply light weight materials far rolling stock because weight reduction for railway body derives cost-saving, energy-saving, and high-speed. Likewise, current Korea rolling stock field makes arduous effects of weight-reduction, miniaturization, and high-efficiency to achieve a high-speed railway. Aluminum becomes suitable material for these projects because it is much lighter than steel or stainless. Manufacturing the railway car body by using the Aluminum is increasing because Aluminum is not bringing the corrosion by unique oxidation-passivate. Aluminum extrusion profile far railway body requires a high mechanical property, accurate shape dimension, and stable quality because the railway body is composed with many different kinds of extruded profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to research about Aluminum precision-extrusion technology to maintain exit temperature and die load. The goal of this project is applying the Aluminum extrusion profile to next-generation railway car body by developing the Aluminum extrusion profile according to precision-extrusion technology which may maintain isothermal exit temperature.

Precise coating weight control is very important issue on quality and minimizing operating costs on continuous galvanizing line. These days, many steel making companies are having a new understanding of cost importance by rise raw material prices and customer's requirement for cost reduction. Dongbu steel also meets these situations and decided to develop the technologies. Dongbu Steel developed Integrated coating weight control system jointly with Objective Control Ltd. and installed 2CGL and 4CGL. Several technological functions were developed and realized to achieve true hands-off operation and maximum cost benefit by combining model-based preset and dynamic prediction models. We also installed it on 1 CGL on April, 2008. This paper will present the interface, functions and application result of the integrated coating weight control system including Zn saving and coating weight uniformity.
