Abstract
For last 100 years, the average temperature of earth has been increased 0.74 due to increase of Green House gas including Carbon Dioxide. In order to prevent the Global Warming, the quantity of Carbon Emission from individuals, homes, and companies should be calculated, and practical acts should be followed based on calculation. Many variables including emission coefficient, combustion efficiency, energy consumption are required to calculate carbon emission. It is not easy for people to understand these scientific terms and engineering formula. The accuracy and quality of output depends on the quality of input data in Carbon Calculation. The problems of input are classified into the problem of type and problem of quality. These problems could be solved by use of constraints in input system. Through analysis on web sites equipped with program to calculate carbon emission, information architecture and structure are similar, however methods for data input, information visualization, and inter-connectivity of related information are different. From the user test for domestic web sites, Carbon Calculation Program should have following attributes. First, all steps and linked output should be visible in single page. Second, two types of data input, direct data input and multi-choice, are equipped to be selected by user for convenience. Third, information should be visualized applying graphic elements. Fourth, system should have error forgiveness. Fifth, output of Carbon Calculation should be visualized showing the meaning of calculation. Finally, linked information and practical guide to induce eco-friendly life for users should be followed.
