So many energy saving strategies to realize the low energy house are proposed in these days. Even if the energy saving performances are similar between the strategies, the costs are in abroad ranges. Therefore, the application of the energy saving strategies should be based upon two considerations; one is energy saving performance and the other is the cost. In this study, the decision making method for application of the passive design technologies in the design stage of the low energy apartment house are suggested. By utilizing the result of this study, practitioners can make an effective design alternatives which solve the conflicted values; energy saving and cost.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for osteoporosis screening. Materials and Methods: Eligible patients who had and had not undergone DXA screening were identified from among those aged 50 years or older at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. Age, sex, screening year (index year), and Charlson comorbidity index of the DXA and non-DXA groups were matched using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) for propensity score analysis. For cost-effectiveness analysis, a societal perspective, 1-year cycle length, 20-year time horizon, and discount rate of 2% per year for both effectiveness and costs were adopted in the incremental cost-effectiveness (ICER) model. Results: The outcome analysis included 10337 patients (female:male, 63.8%:36.2%) who were screened for osteoporosis in southern Taiwan between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2021. The DXA group had significantly better outcomes than the non-DXA group in terms of fragility fractures (7.6% vs. 12.5%, P < 0.001) and mortality (0.6% vs. 4.3%, P < 0.001). The DXA screening strategy gained an ICER of US$ -2794 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) relative to the non-DXA at the willingness-to-pay threshold of US$ 33004 (Taiwan's per capita gross domestic product). The ICER after stratifying by ages of 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥ 80 years were US$ -17815, US$ -26862, US$ -28981, and US$ -34816 per QALY, respectively. Conclusion: Using DXA to screen adults aged 50 years or older for osteoporosis resulted in a reduced incidence of fragility fractures, lower mortality rate, and reduced total costs. Screening for osteoporosis is a cost-saving strategy and its effectiveness increases with age. However, caution is needed when generalizing these cost-effectiveness results to all older populations because the study population consisted mainly of women.

The main idea of this study is to propose a BIM-based automation system drawing up a report of energy conservation plan in the architecture division. In order to obtain a building permit, an energy conservation plan must be prepared for buildings with a total floor area of 500m² or more under the current law. Currently, it is adopted as a general method to complete a report by obtaining data and drawings necessary for an energy conservation plan through manual work and input them directly into the verification system. This method takes a lot of effort and time in the design phase which ultimately increases the initial cost of the business, including the services of companies specialized in the environmental field. However, in preparation for mandatory BIM work process in the future, it is necessary to introduce BIM-based automatic creation system that has an advantage for shortening the whole process to enable rapid permission of energy-saving designs for buildings. There may be many methods of automation, but this study introduces how to build an application using Dynamo of Revit, in terms of utilizing BIM, and write an energy conservation plan by automatic completion of report through Dynamo and Excel's VBA algorithm, which can save time and cost in preparing the report of energy conservation plan compared with the manual process. Also we have insisted that the digital transformation of architectural process is a necessary for an efficient use of our automation system in the current energy conservation plan workflow.

In an attempt to find the improvement of the fishing efficiency according to the hull form remodeling for the 3 tuna purse seiner, the Catch-Per-Unit-Effort (CPUE) for that undertaken before (2008) and after (2010) was analyzed. In addition, the CPUE of 6 similar ships operated same period and same fishing ground. As result, it came to verify that the three modified ships had a significant value on the CPUE. An another index for the improvement of fishing efficiency is the rate of reduction of fuel oil consumption for the modified ships. Fuel oil consumption per day in service speed as comparing with the original ships were reduced 2.1%, 4.0% and 5.1% on the modified ship A, B, and C respectively. And each ship's service speed was increased 1.0 kt, 0.6 kt, and 0.4 kt according to the modified ship A, B, and C in due order. In the conclusion, the remodeling job with newly equipped bulbous bow, lengthened slipway and enlarged rudder area were improved fairly much on fuel oil efficiency, the ship's speed, and in the end, that led to the improving fishing efficiency. Hence, the remodeling of tuna purse seiner come to improve not only the fishing performance, but contribute to the reduction of operating cost by saving energy for the fisheries industry.

본 논문에서는 경기지역을 대상으로 학교시설의 녹색건축 활성화를 위한 검증 기준인 녹색건축인증, 건축물 에너지효율등급, 에너지절약계획에 대한 항목별 적용 여부 및 계획수준을 분석하였다. 분석결과 녹색건축인증은 항목 채택 시 추가 비용이 들어가는 항목 및 유지관리가 어려운 항목은 채택비율이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 에너지효율등급은 학교시설 특성상 비교적 단순한 형태와 일정한 규모로 계획되고 고효율기자재 사용비율이 높아 다른 용도의 건축물에 비해 높은 등급을 보였다. 그리고 에너지성능지표(EPI)의 경우 지역별로 부문별 취득 점수에 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 경기지역의 경우 타 부문 대비 건축부문에 대한 적용점수가 낮은 것으로 나타나 단열성능 강화 시 보다 높은 점수를 취득할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 3가지 기준에 대한 분석결과, 다수의 시설이 학교가 취득해야 하는 의무 획득 기준에만 맞춘 형식적인 계획으로 인해 건물별 특성을 고려하지 않고 기존 획득 항목에만 맞춰 최소한의 기준만 만족하여 계획하는 패턴을 보였다. 그러나 학교시설은 녹색건축물의 확대라는 목표와 더불어 학생들의 녹색교육을 위한 토대가 되어야 하는 의무를 지닌 상징적인 건축물이다. 따라서 시설의 특성을 파악하고 건축물을 기획하는 단계부터 다양하고 합리적인 평가항목 적용이 이루어지도록 고려한 계획이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to develop the bio-chemical pulping method to enhance the energy saving and decrease the capital cost through the soda pulping under atmospheric pressure ($100^{\circ}C$). Nonwood substrates, rice straw, were pretreated by white-rot fungi, Pleurotus cornucopiae. Several basic pieces of data that can be applied in soda pulping were acquired. The results of this study were as follows. Under the conditions without any nutrients or with glucose, N and glucose + N, the weight losses of rice straws inoculated by Pleurotus cornucopiae were 12.1∼32.6 %, 12.0∼26.3 %, 13.0∼25.4 % and 15.3∼24.7 % for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days incubation periods respectively. The more the fungal incubation was extended, the more the weight losses were gained. The yield of untreated rice straw was 54.8 % after pulping. When any nutrients was not added or glucose, N and glucose ＋ N were added for the pretreatment, the total yields were ranged to 57.3∼42.9 %, 51.0∼43.3 %, 51.7∼43.9 % and 52.1∼46.1 % for 5 different incubation periods respectively. The yields were gradually decreased based on the extending of the incubation periods. The physical properties of the rice straw soda pulp without fungal treatment, the density, breaking length, burst index, tear index and folding endurance were 0.24g/㎤, 2.32 Km, 0.91 kPaㆍ$m^2$/g, 46.7 mNㆍ$m^2$/g and 21 times, respectively. In the case of pretreatment without any nutrients or with glucose, N and glucose + N as nutrients, the density was 0.24g/㎤, the breaking length was 3.30∼6.46 Km, the burst index was 1.36∼3.01 kPaㆍ$m^2$/g, the tear index was 33.0∼57.0 mNㆍ$m^2$/g and the folding endurance was 14∼381 times at most incubating periods, when pulping was done. The physical properties were increased as the incubation duration was extended. Especially, when N and glucose ＋ N were added, the physical properties showed superior results during each incubation period.
