The Evaluation of Energy Consumption and CO2 Emission on Green Building Certification Apartments in Korea

Article Preview

Abstract:

With G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design), an environment-friendly building certification system, Korea is promoting the efficient energy management in the building. In particular, apartments account for the biggest share of the G-SEED authentication results. However, there has not been enough evaluation or research on the environmental performance of buildings certified by G-SEED as well as its own institutional issues. Therefore, this study compared energy consumption and CO2 emissions of G-SEED certified apartments and non G-SEED certified apartments to analyze the environmental performance of G-SEED certified apartments. The analysis shows that G-SEED certified apartments have better results than non G-SEED certified apartments in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
