This study analyzes the applicability of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) in existing multi-family housing in Korea, based on facility and communication infrastructure conditions by year of project and occupancy approval. A total of 300 apartment complexes supplied by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), received occupancy approval between 1990 and 2024, were examined for heating and ventilation system controllability, remote metering, and in-unit home network infrastructure. The analysis revealed distinct infrastructure characteristics according to the year of project and occupancy approval. Based on these findings, the study evaluates the feasibility and limitations of BEMS implementation in aging apartment buildings and proposes a phased strategy for practical deployment. The results provide a procedure for adopting BEMS in existing housing stock, bridging the gap between current building conditions and advanced energy management technologies. This research contributes to sustainable residential management by offering both |
