As environmental matters such as Green House Effect rise, many construction industries are putting an effort on minimizing environmental impact in terms of building life cycle throughout the world. However, in South Korea, evaluating the eco-friendly building based on life cycle assessment has been facing an academic ostracism while the most studies are focusing on assessing the 6 environmental impact assessments of passive apartment based on life cycle assessment. The theoretical consideration of the life cycle assessment and environmental impact category were performed and the direction of the study was set up. Also, existing apartment and passive apartment, which had same structure and same type were chosen and building materials per unit area were compared to find out the difference environmental impact for building life cycle. As a result, passive apartment was rated as low level among the 6 environmental impacts. Also, effect of building material on passive apartment was more important than its operational stage.

To compare the global warming impact of the TBM and NATM method, which are representative tunnel excavation methods, a life cycle assessment was performed for each method. Life cycle assessment should compare the sum of carbon emissions by considering the pre-manufacturing stage, product manufacturing stage, usage stage, and disposal stage. However, access to TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) manufacturing and disposal data is limited, so I had no choice but to focus on the analysis for the usage stage. In general, carbon emissions during the pre-product manufacturing stage and product manufacturing stage often exceed 90% of carbon emissions throughout the entire process. Therefore, since it is difficult to achieve the analysis goal only by comparing the usage stage, the analysis scope was expanded, and carbon emissions for the process were calculated for the NATM method with access to manufacturing data. As a result of comparing the relative impact on global warming, the carbon emissions of the TBM method were found to be higher than those of the NATM method even though TBM method was only considered for the usage stage. So there it is, the NATM method can be seen as environmentally friendly in the future when considering the impact of climate change (global warming), which has recently attracted attention among environmental impact fields.

In this study, quantitative environmental impact assessments of the VSL anchor and RB(Reaming and Bearing) anchor systems were conducted after a life-cycle assessment (LCA). In addition, improvements which reduce the adverse environmental effects of the RB anchor system were confirmed through comparisons with results with a VSL anchor system. Both results showed that water ecotoxicity and global warming are the most important in environmental influences. To determine the effect of reducing the RB anchor system environment, the result was normalized for the environmental impact category. Most items appeared to have been improved with regard to the RB anchor system. The most significant improvement was a 77% decrease in POC levels(photochemical oxidant creation). Greenhouse gas emissions, related to global warming, were decreased by 44%. It is expected that these quantitative environmental impact assessment results will serve as the basis of an anchor system for civil engineering and environmental impact assessments.

In response to national and international regulations for resource circulation and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the automotive industry has tried to reuse scrap parts and defective products produced in the disposal or production stages as recycled resources. Attempts have been made to reach the target recycling rate by reducing the number of material types required for each part. Moreover, in order to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets while maintaining the performance of existing products, lighter components are being developed. Existing products were 100% incinerated at the disposal stage, but the uni-materialized products were improved to be possible that it could be recycled 90% through scraps and the defective product in the pre-production and production stage. It also appears that the fuel efficiency improves through 56% lightweight compared to the existing product. In this paper, a preliminary assessment is conducted on the applicability of uni-materialized product development of car parts. The environmental impact values of existing products and developed prototypes are compared and analyzed through life cycle assessment.

화석연료의 사용으로 인한 자원고갈과 지구온난화 영향 그리고 에너지 안보문제의 해결을 위해 세계 각국들은 대체에너지 개발에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중 수소는 다양한 경로를 통해 생산 가능하고, 수송연료로 사용 시, 유해 물질이 거의 배출되지 않는다는 장점 때문에 가장 주목받는 대체 에너지원이다. 현재는 수소생산 기술개발을 통해 상업화시기를 앞당기려고 하는 수소에너지 시대의 진입시점이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 수소는 생산경로에 따라 다양한 환경성 및 경제성 결과를 도출 할 수 있기 때문에 다양한 평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 수소생산 방식으로 개발/상용화되어있는 Natural Gas Steam Reforming (NGSR), Naphtha Steam Reforming (Naphtha SR), Water Electrolysis (WE)에 대하여, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)와 Life Cycle Costing Analysis (LCCA) 방법을 사용하여, 수소경로 전반에 대한 즉, 원료채취부터 자동차로 주행하였을 때까지의 각 대상 수소경로의 환경성과 경제성을 평가하였다. LCA와 LCCA 결과는 Naphtha SR과 NGSR 수소경로에서 지구온난화와 화석자원 소모 부문 모두 기존연료 (가솔린, 디젤)와 비교해서 개선효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, WE 수소경로는 오히려 환경부하가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 경제성 측면에서는, 수소 판매 시 가솔린과 동일한 연료세율을 부과하더라도 수소가 가솔린에 비해 가격경쟁력을 확보하게 되는데, 이는 주행 시 수소자동차의 연비가 기존 차량에 비해 월등히 좋기 때문에 연료비용의 이점 때문이다. 만약, 수소에 연료세를 부과하지 않는 다면, Naphtha SR로 생산하여 유통한 수소가 수송연료로서 가장 뛰어난 비용효율성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.
