To achieve eco-friendly hospitals it is necessary to empirically verify the effect of meteorological factors on the power consumption of the hospital. Using daily meteorological big data from 2009 to 2013, we studied the weather conditions impact to power consumption and analyzed the patterns of power consumption of two hospitals. R analysis revealed that temperature among the meteorological factors had the greatest impact on the hospital power consumption, and was a significant factor regardless of hospital size. The pattern of hospital power consumption differed considerably depending on the hospital size. The larger hospital had a linear pattern of power consumption and the smaller hospital had a quadratic nonlinear pattern. A typical pattern of increasing power consumption during a hot summer and a cold winter was evident for both hospitals. The results of this study suggest that a hospital's functional specificity and meteorological factors should be considered to improve energy savings and eco-friendly building.

This study was carried out to examine the Korean housewives' recognition and consumption type about organic and instant food. The questionnaire were answered by the housewives in Seoul, Kyunggi-do and Chungcheong-do areas. 94.1% of the housewives were aware of the organic food and 71.7% were consuming it. However, majority(95.9%) thought the price was too expensive. The biggest reason why the housewives did not purchase organic food was the high price(43.8%). But 60.6% of the housewives bought organic food because of its safety. The most preferred organic food type of the housewives was vegetable and lettuce was most consumed organic vegetable. Instant food was used by 96.7% of the housewives. 29.9% used instant food once a week, and the number of using instant food from one to seven times a week were 73.8%. Time saving was the biggest reason(51.3%) of using instant food, but 72.4% of the housewives did not buy instant food because of its artificial color, added preservatives, and the low safety level. Housewives liked fish and meat products(37.4%) and awareness of the names of companies made difference in consuming. There were significant correlation between food expenses and purchase of organic food, and between housework and organic food, and between housework and number of uses (p<0.05).

This study was performed to figure out the recognition on forest certification by consumption propensity and socio-economic characteristics of wood cabinet consumers. The mean score of recognition on SFM and FSC showed comparatively low, 2.25 and 2.20(5-point likert scale), from the analysis result on 88 valid questionnaires of 90. The respondents rate of eco and non eco-friendly group formed 80.7% and 18.2%, there is a significant gap between two groups on total questionnaires. The percentage of respondents recognizing on SFM and FSC was about 31% (eco-friendly), 5.6%(non eco-friendly, SFM) and 2.8%(non eco-friendly, FSC) within each group. It showed that the socio-economic characteristics on eco-friendly respondents were higher than the others about more 1.3 times in the married rate, average age and monthly householding income.

A study was conducted on dietitians in the Gyeonggido area to analyze the effect of purchase decision and attitude related factors regarding environmental-friendly agricultural products. The results of the factor analysis, correlation analysis and a multiple regression analysis are as follows. Many dieticians prefer environmental-friendly agricultural products, but they are reluctant to pay more money to purchase them. It was found that purchasing decision factors were 'loyalty' at 0.920, 'perceived quality' at 0.791, 'awareness' at 0.862, and 'brand' at 0.801. To conclude, the research result shows a statistically very close and positive correlation between the dieticians' attitude on environmental-friendly agricultural products and purchase decision. Other factors of quality(r=.296, p<.01), brand(r=.350, p<.01), loyalty(r=.558, p<.01), and awareness (r=.496, p<.01) acted as the most meaningful and significant variables. In short, of the dieticians surveyed in Gyeonggido province, the more favorably disposed to organic products, the more likely they are to purchase them. Accordingly, it is necessary for dieticians to be educated so that they may have greater awareness of environmental-friendly agricultural products. Furthermore, there is a need for more follow-up studies in order to gain an understanding of how to improve dieticians' attitudes on using organic products.

The study tested the moderating effect of 215 women living in Busan to analyze the purchase intention (awareness, health interests, environmental interests) of environment-friendly agricultural products and it's the causal relationship between consumer attitudes and purchasing intention. The results confirmed that all purchase factors for environment-friendly agricultural products had significant causality on consumer attitudes. Significant causality of consumer attitudes on purchase intention was also confirmed. The moderating effect of the number of purchases was analyzed to only significantly affect consumer attitudes on purchase intention and consumer attitudes according to number of purchases were analyzed to vary depending on the intensity of purchase. Information presented in this study means that consumers who are aware of environment-friendly agricultural products, interested in health, and interested in protecting the environment exhibit positive attitudes on environment-friendly agricultural products as well as higher purchase intentions. Therefore, if government and local organizations strengthen the promotion of environment-friendly agricultural products, there may be an acceleration of the consumption of environment-friendly agricultural products, followed by an increase in the income of farmers as well as an increase in the number of farmers who cultivate environment-friendly agricultural products. This may ultimately aid in the conservation of the natural environment of Korea and enhance the health and well-being of the public.

As global issues and interest in the environment increase, the transition to eco-friendly materials is accelerating in the automobile industry. In the automotive industry, eco-friendly composite materials are mainly used in various interior and exterior components, reducing the reliance on traditional petroleum-based materials. In particular, natural fiber composites help reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by making vehicles lighter. Additionally, they boast superior thermal properties and durability compared to non-recyclable composite materials, making them suitable for automotive interior parts. Furthermore, reduced production costs and sustainability are key advantages of natural fiber composites. The eco-friendly composites market is expected to grow to $86.43 billion at a CAGR of 15.3% from 2022 to 2030, and the natural fiber composites market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2028 to $424 million. In this review paper, we explore research trends in nextgeneration natural fiber composite materials for automobiles and their application in the actual automobile industry.
