Including heat wave, Climate change caused 150,000 casualty in 2000 and heat waves are meteorological events that pose a serious threat to human health. A heat wave is defined as "a period of abnormally and uncomfortably hot and usually humid weather". There is a need for the prevention of health effects due to weather and climate extremes. This study intends to propose the necessity of Response System to correspond to extreme heat. And this research focused on Cooling Center manual of facility and maintenance for extreme heat disaster. It would be useful to be planned based on community and to be taken a role as an E.O.C.(Emergency Operating Center). As a conclusion elderly watching system and the requirements regional cooling center facility was proposed.

In most developed countries, Extreme heat alter system operates every summer and the response plan to be issued according to this system is composed of some government agencies sub-plans. The National Emergency Management Agency in Korea develops response plan but it is not composed of the definition of the heat vulnerability and the concrete agency roles. Therefore, this study analyses foreign cases in three processing: preparedness, response, recovery and reviews the status of heat response plan. As a conclusion, the study suggests two ways of Extreme heat management into Korean heat response plan such as strengthening its institutional position and complementing its context.

Energy Cost has been rapidly increased with the internal heat gain of data center to keep the temperature condition. But the cooling units for server systems are fully operated to satisfy the indoor temperature condition, it results in the excessive energy consumption. In this study, various cooling systems were studied for data center and cold aisle containment system was proved to be the best solution for server cooling system. Because it protects the cooling zone from the hot aisle space. Effective cooling and prohibition of recirculation air from hot aisle was possible by the cold aisle containment system.

Data centers not only consume significant electricity to operate IT equipment, but also use a lot of electricity to cool the heat generated by IT equipment. The waste heat of a high-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell (HT-PEFC) is capable of producing cooling , so it can be effectively applied to data centers that require cooling throughout the year. The energy-saving effects of the proposed combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) system using HT-PEFC. That was analyzed based on the annual energy consumption data of a specific data center. When the system was running at 100% of the year, It was shown that the installation of 1 MW of the proposed system can save 3,407 MWh of electrical energy per year. In addition, compared to the existing system, the annual power usage effectiveness can be improved from 2.0 to 1.57 and 6,293 MWh of extra heat energy per year can be produced to sell. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was performed on the fuel cell operating temperature and current density to guide the appropriate installation capacity of the proposed system.
