Details
Definition
The property owner should submit Building Energy Code Compliance when applying for building permits of new buildings with gross area greater than 500 m2 pursuant to the Building Design Standards for Energy Saving (the Notification of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation) and Green Building Promotion Act.
KEA reviews the worksheet to check if the property satisfies all of the standards and gets at least 65 points on the Energy Performance Index (EPI) (minimum 75 points for public buildings) and decide on the insurance of the building permit.
Main contents of Building Energy Code Compliance
-
Construction: energy-saving design criteria including average
heat transmission coefficient, air-tightness of window and
rooftop landscape -
Machinery and electric facilities: installing high-efficiency
certified products and adopting energy-saving control techniques -
New and renewable energy: utilizing new and renewable energy for
the electric load and capacity for cooling, heating and supplying hot water
Targets of the program
-
Buildings prescribed in the article 10 of Enforcement Decree of the Green Building Promotion Act (Buildings required to submit Building Energy Code Compliance)
-
- Buildings with gross area greater than 500m2 that apply for building permit
