Abstract

In 2002, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport in Korea jointly executed the Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design of Korea (G-SEED) for apartment buildings for the first time. Recently, G-SEED certification performance has increased rapidly. However, despite the external growth of G-SEED, there is a need for improvements in both the application of the laws and policies related to the environmental performance of buildings and the certification system itself. These changes are required to resolve issues with the extended environmental performance of buildings related to the enhanced living standards and quality of life in Korea as well as the country's rapid technological development. This research is significant as a preliminary evaluation in preparation for G-SEED improvement. Ultimately, to ensure the program's internal stability and to move forward, criteria and methods for evaluating the environmental performance of G-SEED were developed, and an incentive measure to encourage adoption of the policy was suggested.
