| Abstract |
Energy efficiency in City is becoming a crucial issue in Korea. Seoul, the capital of Korea tries to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission rate. Building energy consumption in Seoul is very high and construction of energy efficient building beome much more important than ever before. Therefore, appropriate establishment of building energy reduction strategy is very important. The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the residential building energy reduction scenarios and to give reasonable guidelines for residential building energy reduction strategy. This study performes following three procedure. First, analysis over the domestic building energy policy was performed. Second, we made several scenarios about energy consumption in domestic building field and evaluated each scenario. Third, analysis about each scenario was performed and several guidelines were determined. As a result, it is found that reduction of energy consumption in existing building is very important to effectively reduce energy consumption in domestic building in Seoul. In addition to this, energy reduction in residential building category is very hard than expected. Consequently energy reduction by changing citizen's life style to sustainable life style is strongly urged. |
