Improvement Directions for the G-SEED System from the Resident's Perspective - Focused on Certification Assessment Criteria for Apartment Buildings -

Abstract

ABSTRACT KEYWORD The building section is providing immediate causes for global climate change problems since it takes about 50% o fcarbon emission, 20∼50% of waste discharge, 33% of energy consumption, 40% of resource use, and 17% of water consumption. So, many countries over the world have developed and implemented green building certification systemsto assess sustainable performances of buildings since the early 1990s. In korea, the green building certification system to induce the diffusion of sustainable buildings was first introduced in 2002 and developed as an improved version o f the G-SEED(Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design) system in 2013 after major revisions of related legislations. This research conducts a survey targeting residents on an apartment building that was certified as green building and examines the importance of assessment criteria on apartment buildings to certify green buildings using th eAnalytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method. And it proposes a new direction on certification assessment standards from the resident's prospective. As a result, assessment criteria such as indoor environment, ecological environment, energy & environment pollution, and maintenance management among 7 main ones turned out important on assessing the G-SEED system for apartment buildings, while criteria such as material & resource, water circulation management, an dland use & transportation did relatively unimportant. ⓒ 2014 KIEAE Journal
