기후변화가 건설업에 미치는 영향과 대응 방안 = The Impacts and Measures of Climate Change on Construction Industry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The impacts of climate change are some of the most pressing issues facing society. The effects of climate change will impact upon both the natural environment and human activity, including the built environment. Climate change has been shown to be caused by the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO₂, resulting from industrial activity Recognition that increasing deforestation and industrialization will lead to further climate change has caused the international community at the recent Kyoto conference to implement targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. However, mitigation will not stop the process of climate change completely and so future impacts needs to be considered.
The purpose of this report is to disseminate to the construction industry the scope of potential impacts that future climate change may have on the built environment. It begins with a brief summary of the main issues surrounding the science of climate change and the scenarios that are currently being developed. It should be remembered that the science of climate change is still developing and that this report presents the potential impacts based upon our current understanding. It is recognised that assessments of some of the potential impacts may change as understanding of climate science evolves.
The potential future impacts for structures and the built environment caused by climate change are highlighted. In particular, the following ares will be affected by potential impacts:
* The Construction Process including - health and safety issues, problems with material use, site storage of materials, soil conditions on site, site flooding, days lost due to weather, and problems with plant.
* The Building Fabric including - storm damage, geotechnical problems, corrosion of metals, timber degradation, durability of concrete, cracking and frost damage of masonry, degradation of plastics and rubbers, degradation of surface coating, flood damage, and rain penetration problems.
* The Internal Environment and Energy Use including - internal temperatures/comfort conditions, energy consumption, condensation and mould growth, internal pollution, and health problems such as risk of legionella problems.

This report will inform government, regulators, local authorities, housing associations, clients, financial institutions, building professionals and all others who have a stake in construction of the extent to which climate change may affect the building stock The ann of the report is to develop acceptance of the reality of climate change and its effects of these impacts can be minimized The report does not aim to offer specific solutions to individual impacts, it does however advocate the development of an industry wide strategy to help reduce the future impact of climate change through development of appropriate tools for building professional to use.
