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

With G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design), an environmentfriendly 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 GSEED certified apartments in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
