Abstract
Korean governmental ministries are promoting strategic projects to support cost-saving and low-carbon technologies in residential complexes and commercial buildings in the City of Suwon, South Korea. Suwon City will build throughout the city focusing on economic feasibility by selecting performance targets and using applied technologies for locations to be continuously expanded. This case study of Suwon shows that the local Korean government has prepared a project to spread eco-friendly residential complexes and is trying to introduce and realize eco-friendly construction standards proposed by the central Korean government. The central government is working to actively establish a system to promote eco-friendly construction technologies and encourages people to use eco-friendly construction methods and products. To build the demo-complex in the city, the role of the government was re-examined considering the universalization of energy and environmental technology through the analysis of case studies where these technologies were applied to residential complexes. The objectives of this research study are: (1) to establish a land use plan for the eco-village site in the City of Suwon, (2) to establish an external space plan, which includes the environmental aspects, and (3) to have alternative designs through a multi-criteria decision-making process. This study also used a cost-benefit analysis (BCA) to evaluate and ensure that there was no waste of the Korean government budget contribution, and to observe the business feasibility based on economic performance.
Highlights
Buildings are the largest consumer of energy in the United States and the largest emitter of greenhouse gas (GHG), accounting for approximately 36% of the entire nation’s annual energy consumption [1,2]
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Korea has extended an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to all construction materials, and these materials should be reflected in the entire eco-friendly architecture system, such as Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED), to supplement the system
Suwon City plans to build a residential complex by combining apartment buildings and single-family houses
Summary
Buildings are the largest consumer of energy in the United States and the largest emitter of greenhouse gas (GHG), accounting for approximately 36% of the entire nation’s annual energy consumption [1,2]. These buildings contribute to less overall greenhouse gases than similar non-ZNE buildings [6] The aim of these buildings is to consume renewable energy and produce fewer greenhouse gases and to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount [7]. The government invested in R&D expenses to support construction, energy-saving, and eco-friendly buildings (housing complexes), so that related technologies could be commercialized in cities, which included Seoul and Jeonnam in South Korea [9]. The system must be recognized as essential to creating residential complexes in Seoul such as the ecological area rate This method needs to mitigate the volume ratio through green building certification and the energy efficiency class certification system. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Korea has extended an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to all construction materials, and these materials should be reflected in the entire eco-friendly architecture system, such as G-SEED, to supplement the system
