| Abstract |
This study aims to assess the current state of green remodeling in private buildings and propose enhancements to boost the renovation of detached houses, thus fostering energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector. Between 2014 and 2022, a survey on green remodeling in private buildings revealed that single-family housing projects accounted for less than 1% of the total, highlighting the need to promote green remodeling in detached houses. To invigorate private building green remodeling initiatives, simplifications in project procedures have been suggested, such as raising the loan limit for business expenses and introducing a straightforward evaluation system. However, challenges persist, including high individual costs for building owners undertaking green remodeling, influenced by fluctuating bank interest rates, and the inconvenience of applying for projects individually. Moreover, while urban regeneration projects aimed to integrate green remodeling, it was found that existing standards for private building green remodeling were rigidly applied. The findings underscored the necessity of rejuvenating the green remodeling business for detached houses by tailoring projects for homes over 30 years old, increasing the cap on remodeling costs, expanding construction options to enhance building performance, and revising project criteria to shield applicants from fluctuations in bank interest rates. Additionally, it was proposed to shift towards projects led by local governments or public institutions rather than individuals, particularly in areas with a high concentration of aging residential buildings and low participation in green remodeling projects. |
