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.
