A Study on the Energy Conservation Policy of South Korean Universities

Abstract:

This researcher conducted a study on the energy conservation policy of South Korean universities by identifying their energy consumption characteristics and potential factors for energy conservation. Conclusions of this research are: (1) electricity usage of those universities surveyed for this research shows that it is high during the winter season (December through February); (2) volume of gas usage was highest during the winter season (December through February); (3) the university surveyed for this research shows that it was able to achieve substantial results by reducing energy consumption and implementing conservation policy.
