Energy shortage and environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels are very serious problem. Especially buildings have consumed more and more energy, and buildings are spend up to 25% of total energy consumption. So we should prepare alternatives to save energy in buildings. In apartment houses, The efficiency of thermal insulators and window glasses is very important to curtail heating energy. In this study, the energy rating of Apartment building is evaluated by applying various thermal insulators and window glasses.

Many Countries are making nationwide efforts to reduce the energy consumption which causes greenhouse gas emissions and global warming problems. Energy performance assessments and certification systems have been in force to save energy consumption of residential buildings, and are anticipated to have strong effects through the systems. Korean Building Energy Efficiency Rating System is in its early stages and is considered that the additional upgrade is needed for the accurate assessment. Thus, in this study, the assessment methods of the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System of Korea and the SAP2005 of UK were compared and energy requirements of an actual residential building were calculated with two assessment methods, respectively. The strengths and shortcomings of two systems were analyzed and a way of improving Korean system was suggested.

This paper proposes an energy conservation scheme when apartment remodeling is provided, which analyzes the energy conservation techniques that are suitable for overseas passive houses. Subsequently, a passive solution that is more suitable for our country is derived. In order to examine the energy saving rate applying to passive solution, it evaluates the energy saving rate of 5 specific cases by taking advantage of internal building energy efficiency rating certification system, classifies them and analyzes them. Finally, a rational alternative is devised, and then which is implemented in the internal apartment housing remodeling project. This scheme can save 40% of the energy in comparison with typical apartment building.

In order to reduce greenhouse gas by 30% compared to BAU in 2020, research and development of zero-energy building construction technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry is being conducted. With the recent implementation of the policy as mandatory through the establishment and commercialization of the zero energy building base, the government should devise measures to support and expand technology through the identification of the current status of the zero-energy building incentive system and the erasure of the erasure. In order to implement zero-energy buildings, excessive construction costs are presented as a major issue in revitalizing the supply of new and renewable energy to enhance Passive (energy efficiency grade of 1++) and achieve self sufficiency of energy (20% or higher). In this paper, the major problems and solutions for zero-energy building identification were presented in order to activate the dissemination of zero-energy buildings, and the recent policy changes resulting from the mandatory use of zero-energy buildings were analyzed.

The percentage of apartment houses in residential buildings has increased every year, and it result in higher energy consumption of residential buildings. After the house law could be amended to legalize the remodeling of the balcony, buyers and contractors prefer to choose the balcony remodeling type when they choose a house for installment sale. Many construction companies design an apartment house considering balcony remodeling. So, this paper compares the balcony remodeling type with the basic type(prior to remodeling balcony) by using the building energy rating system tool. The balcony remodeling type consumes heating energies more than the basic type, and is unable to receive high rating. If the balcony is remodeled, it is required to improve the performance of wall and window and reduce the area of remodeling balcony.

As environmental issues are rising recently efforts to reduce environmental stress are emerging in all industry segments. Especially environmental impact of buildings occupy a critical portion, so each country is operating green building rating system for life cycle of buildings. Accordingly green building rating system for every facility is operating in Korea. And acquisition of grade I for building energy efficiency is mandatory for every new public buildings since 2010. To design green building efficiently and systematically eco-friendly elements should be considered and checked from the schematic design phase. But in many cases eco-friendly elements are checked at the end of constructed design phase. So applying eco-friendly elements at the value engineering process, which is performing through schematic and constructed design phase, could make a efficient and systematic green building design. Value engineering process is divided into pre workshop, workshop and post workshop stages. And subject selection in pre workshop stage is the step that finds out the subjects which has the great possibility to be improved to perform efficient value engineering workshop. So this study present the Green VE subject selection model to select the most considerable eco-friendly subjects in projects.
