Assessment of GHG Emission Reduction Performance for Certification Criteria of Korea Green Building Scheme (G-SEED) - Focusing on Materials and Resources Category -

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction performance among certification criteria constituting “materials and resources” category, as a part of study that configures weighted values of categories for the Korea Green Building Scheme (G-SEED). For this purpose, the subjects of assessment were classified into “reference apartment house” newly constructed without application of certification criteria and “assessed apartment house” newly constructed with reflection of certification criteria. In addition, direct and indirect GHG emission reduction performance of the assessed apartment house was assessed from life cycle perspective in comparison to the reference apartment house, reflecting the purpose of assessment according to certification criteria within the “materials and resources” category. As a result, GHG emission reduction performance of “displaying carbon emission of material” and “recycling” were deduced to be extremely excellent. GHG emission reduction performance of “flexibility” and “reducing food waste” ware analyzed to be relatively satisfactory. On one hand, GHG emission reduction performance of “appropriateness of measure to reduce furniture materials” and “use of eco-friendly products” ware assessed to be relatively insufficient.
