| Abstract |
Due to the enactment of the Mechanical Equipment Act in April 2018 and the enforcement of the Mechanical Equipment Act in April 2020, various tasks are being actively carried out in the mechanical equipment industry, such as checking and maintaining mechanical equipment performance. Due to the development of the mechanical sleigh industry, there are various expected effects such as improving energy efficiency and securing comfort and stability for residents. However, there is still a lack of awareness of the effectiveness of general users other than experts. In this study, the effect of the mechanical facility performance inspection according to the enforcement of the Mechanical Facility Act was analyzed based on the case and the effect was verified. Results are as follows. In the case of apartment houses, energy consumption decreased by 4.2% to 4.5% after improving mechanical facility efficiency, especially in the heating sector. In the case of medical facilities, there was a reduction in energy consumption of about 16.6%, with great effect during change of seasons. In the case of work facilities, power energy consumption was greatly reduced in summer and gas energy consumption was greatly decreased in winter, resulting in an 11.2% reduction in energy consumption. Likewise, in the case of educational research facilities, power energy consumption in summer and gas energy consumption in winter were greatly reduced, showing a 5.1% reduction rate. Finally, in the case of accommodation facilities, gas energy, which accounted for a large amount of consumption, was reduced by 2.8%, resulting in a 3.7% reduction in overall energy consumption. |
