Analysis of the Energy Consumption of Old Public Buildings in South Korea after Green Remodeling

: In Korea, green remodeling of public buildings will be mandatory from 2025, and about 30,000 old public buildings nationwide will conduct green remodeling every year. Therefore, in this study, green remodeling was promoted to improve energy efﬁciency for existing public buildings located in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do. A remodeling method was developed to reduce the cooling and heating load of the building and reduce construction costs. The development technology was applied to the demonstration building to improve the insulation and airtightness performance of the building. In order to analyze the effect of improving the energy performance of the building, the simulation results and energy consumption before and after remodeling were analyzed. The demand for heating energy decreased by about 68.95%, and the demand for cooling energy decreased by 35.21%. According to an analysis of actual energy consumption, the average monthly energy consumption savings from January to September was 17.4%. It was conﬁrmed that the savings were the highest at 35.4% in February, during winter. Applying the remodeling method developed in this study is expected to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy efﬁciency and energy consumption of existing buildings.


Introduction
As the climate crisis continues to intensify, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions has become an important task around the world.Additionally, South Korea has declared "2050 carbon neutrality" and is making significant strides with its carbon emission reduction policy.The Korean government has made the decision to develop a 2050 carbon-neutral scenario to set a detailed strategy for implementing 2050 carbon neutrality through the 2050 Carbon-Neutral Promotion Strategy.Experts from 45 government research institutes recommended by 11 ministries formed a technical working group in January 2021 to analyze the reduction potential based on government plans such as the latest domestic and international policies, technological development trends, economic and social prospects for 2050, and basic energy plans already announced.Based on the results, a scenario (draft) of the technical working group was prepared in consultation with the relevant ministries and by adjusting issues by reduction means [1].
Because nearly a quarter of the nation's carbon emissions come from the building sector, the Korean government is spearheading a policy to increase the number of lowcarbon buildings [2].Low-carbon buildings are those that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing energy efficiency through remodeling and new construction of old buildings with low energy efficiency.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport announced the "National Land Transport 2050 Carbon Neutral Roadmap" in December last year and proposed the activation of zero-energy buildings in new buildings and green remodeling of existing buildings Buildings 2023, 13, 3081 2 of 10 as major initiatives [3].Green remodeling refers to the transformation of existing buildings into green buildings through energy efficiency improvements and efficiency.Green remodeling of public buildings will be mandatory from 2025, and approximately 30,000 old public buildings nationwide will undergo green remodeling each year.In particular, 75% of residential buildings are old buildings more than 15 years old, and the green-remodeling project is a core project of Korea's version of the Green New Deal announced in 2020 [4], which aims to improve the energy efficiency of old buildings, create a pleasant residential environment, and create eco-friendly jobs through performance improvement projects.
Several countries have conducted empirical research on green remodeling.Xin et al. [5] compared and analyzed heating energy consumption before and after retrofit in a northern Chinese city using actual measurements.The changes in heating radii before and after retrofit were investigated.The influence of envelope construction retrofit on the buildings was analyzed.Douglas et al. [6] developed a tool to evaluate the feasibility of green wall retrofits.This tool demonstrated different levels of retrofit feasibility in urban areas of Australia.This tool can be used by green stakeholders to increase urban green spaces and regional cities. Yongtao et al. [7] reviewed and investigated green retrofit technologies and policies.In this study, a framework for implementing green retrofit in old residential buildings in Hong Kong was developed.Li et al. [8] conducted a green retrofit survey and analyzed public institution buildings in cold regions.Taking Shenyangas as the main object of the study, the green retrofit situation of five typical public-sector buildings was surveyed.This study addresses the current problem of public facilities in the process of retrofitting to determine suitable technical measures.Li et al. [9] developed a simulation-based model to optimize the energy comfort for green retrofit of buildings.A school building in China was selected as a case study to validate the developed model.The multi-objective optimal solution for building green retrofit resulted in 4% energy savings.Fan et al. [10] presented an optimization model to help decision makers determine the best combination of building retrofit options to ensure policy compliance in South Africa in the most cost-effective manner.
Several studies related to zero-energy architecture and green remodeling for carbon neutrality have been conducted in Korea.Moon et al. [11] examined the limitations of domestic policy status and literature on private green remodeling and developed a plan to revitalize private building green-remodeling projects.Choi et al. [12] participated in a green-remodeling project for public buildings for national and public daycare centers that were actual green-remodeling cases and derived the optimal retrofit plan through energy performance analysis and economic analysis for 10 alternatives that included both passive and active technology elements, for national and public daycare centers that actually completed construction.Woo et al. [13] analyzed the energy-savings rate before and after green remodeling through design consulting, focusing on the goal of the greenremodeling support project for public buildings to understand the energy-saving effect of green remodeling.Lee et al. [14] analyzed the effect of green remodeling considering zeroenergy building certification for small neighborhood living facilities using ECO2 in terms of energy performance improvement and recovery period compared to investment cost.Therefore, various empirical studies are currently being conducted in Korea to examine the effects of improving energy efficiency through green remodeling.
In this study, a remodeling application method was developed to improve the energy performance of existing public buildings, and green remodeling was performed by selecting an empirical building located in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.In order to analyze the effect of improving energy efficiency after the completion of the remodeling, the simulation results and energy consumption were analyzed.

Green Remodeling
After performing an on-site diagnosis of the target building, it was confirmed that heat loss occurred through the outer wall, window, and roof, and the airtight performance was weak.Therefore, the direction of green remodeling was set in consideration of both economic and energy efficiency aspects.A remodeling method was developed to reduce construction costs and cooling and heating loads when remodeling existing buildings.The development method was developed as a dry method that does not require demolition in order to enable room construction during the remodeling construction period.The remodeling demonstration project was completed by deriving an optimal way to improve energy performance and the working environment by reflecting the results of the field diagnosis.
To improve the energy efficiency of the building, external insulation systems and high-performance windows were applied, and the thermal perfusion rate performance by remodeling technology is shown in Table 2.The passive performance of the building was considerably improved by enhancing the insulation performance of the structure.

Dry external insulation and waterproofing systems were applied to the roofs of the buildings.Owing to the increased load of the dry method, this system does not require structural reinforcement, and the insulation is reinforced with a thin film of vacuum insulation material and by spraying polyurea, a super-fast curing coating of waterproof material, on the top of the hardboard to secure water resistance.The conceptual diagram and Dry external insulation and waterproofing systems were applied to the roofs of the buildings.Owing to the increased load of the dry method, this system does not require structural reinforcement, and the insulation is reinforced with a thin film of vacuum insulation material and by spraying polyurea, a super-fast curing coating of waterproof material, on the top of the hardboard to secure water resistance.The conceptual diagram and construction photo are shown in Figure 3 as a system that does not require a demolition process and can simultaneously secure insulation and waterproofing of the building.
The existing windows, which were general single windows and general double-layer glass windows, were replaced with 42.5 mm lightweight triple glass and high-heat and high-quality aluminum frames.This system ensures light weight and clear vision, and the insulation performance is equivalent to that of the existing triple-layer glass because a 0.5 mm thin plate glass instead of 5 mm general glass is applied to the center glass used to produce triple-layer glass.Compared to general triple-layer glass, the weight is reduced by 30%, and insulation performance can be secured to reduce the heat lost to the window.The conceptual diagram and construction photograph of the high-performance window are shown in Figure 4.The existing windows, which were general single windows and general double-layer glass windows, were replaced with 42.5 mm lightweight triple glass and high-heat and high-quality aluminum frames.This system ensures light weight and clear vision, and the insulation performance is equivalent to that of the existing triple-layer glass because a 0.5 mm thin plate glass instead of 5 mm general glass is applied to the center glass used to produce triple-layer glass.Compared to general triple-layer glass, the weight is reduced by 30%, and insulation performance can be secured to reduce the heat lost to the window.The conceptual diagram and construction photograph of the high-performance window are shown in Figure 4.

Analysis of the Airtightness Performance
The airtight performance of the building was measured to confirm the effect of improving energy performance before and after green-remodeling construction.Airtight performance measurement (Blower door test) is a method of measuring acupuncture and leakage, in which pressure differences between indoor and outdoor air are arbitrarily generated by installing a blower door fan in contact with the outside air.It aims to find, repair, and improve the leakage area of the building's outer shell through airtight performance measurements and to reduce heat loss by convection through performance verifications.In Korea, a confidential performance evaluation and the required performance standards have not yet been clearly established at the national level.The confidential standard for passive houses in Germany is 0.6 times (h −1 ), which can be considered a fairly strong confidential level considering the confidential performance of existing buildings in Korea.
Prior to the green remodeling, the airtight performance of the demonstration building was measured.As shown in Figure 8, the performance was measured by installing blow door equipment at the entrance to the building's rooftop floor.The airtight performance measurement showed that the airtightness was measured 8.57 times per hour, as shown in Table 3.It was well below the standard, and a considerable amount of outside air was entering through the gap in the window.

Simulation Analysis
Simulations were conducted to predict the energy performance after implementing green-remodeling technology in demonstration buildings.a static analysis method based on ISO 52016 [15], was employed for the analysis.This program was developed based on Germany's Passive House Planning Package (PHPP), a trusted tool in the field of energy analysis for passive architecture.It is an Excel-based program and is a single-zonebased static analysis method suitable for the analysis of small and medium-sized buildings.It has the advantage of being able to quickly perform repetitive calculations by complexly changing a number of input variables, such as the orientation of the building, the insulation level of the outer shell, the thermal performance and window area ratio of the window, and the airtight performance [16].
Simulation input values are shown in Table 4. Airtight performance field measurements before and after remodeling (before remodeling: 8.57; after remodeling: 2.48) were applied to the simulation, and the values of the heat flow rate by remodeling application technology were input in Table 2. Figure 9 shows a comparison of the annual cooling and heating energy requirements before and after remodeling the target building.Before remodeling, the heating energy requirement of the building was 266.35 kWh/(m 2 •a), and the cooling energy requirement was 29.0 kWh/(m 2 •a).Post-remodeling, these figures reduced significantly to 82.69 kWh/(m 2 •a) for heating and 18.79 kWh/(m 2 •a) for cooling, indicating a reduction of approximately 68.95% for heating and 35.21% for cooling.After green remodeling, the target building's carbon dioxide emissions are expected to decrease from 47 kg/(m 2 •a) to 17 kg/(m 2 •a), indicating a reduction of 63.83%.The effect of reducing carbon dioxide emissions may be provided as basic data for realizing Korea's 2050 carbon-neutral goal.

Energy Consumption Analysis
This study focused on analyzing energy consumption to assess the impact of energy performance improvement before and after the green remodeling of the target building.For the analysis, data from the Korea Electric Power Corporation that reflects the energy usage recorded in the target building's bills were utilized.The study period was set from January to September 2022, representing the period before the remodeling, and from January to September 2023, indicating the timeframe after the remodeling took place.
Figure 10 presents a comparison of the monthly energy consumption levels before and after the remodeling of the demonstration building.Additionally, the outside temperatures before and after the remodeling were analyzed.Prior to the remodeling, the average energy consumption from January to September 2022 was 6658 kWh/month, totaling 59,925 kWh cumulatively.Following the remodeling, the average energy consumption from January to September 2023 decreased to 5327 kWh/month, with a cumulative value of 47,947 kWh.
Analyses of the monthly energy use savings before and after remodeling revealed reductions of 31.7% in January, 35.4% in February, 29.3% in March, 8.3% in April, 6.9% in May, 9.5% in June, 11.6% in July, 6.9% in August, and 12.6% in September.The average monthly energy savings from January to September amounted to 17.4%.Notably, the most substantial savings were observed in February, the peak of the winter season, followed closely by January.Despite a 2.7 • C increase in the average outdoor temperature in February 2023 compared to February 2022, energy consumption decreased by 35.4%.This decline is attributed to reduced heat loss and enhanced airtightness resulting from external insulation reinforcement and the replacement of old windows and doors on the building's exterior.9.5% in June, 11.6% in July, 6.9% in August, and 12.6% in September.The average mo energy savings from January to September amounted to 17.4%.Notably, the most su tial savings were observed in February, the peak of the winter season, followed clos January.Despite a 2.7 °C increase in the average outdoor temperature in February 2023 pared to February 2022, energy consumption decreased by 35.4%.This decline is attri to reduced heat loss and enhanced airtightness resulting from external insulation rein ment and the replacement of old windows and doors on the building's exterior.

This study investigated the energy efficiency of buildings before and after green remodeling, aiming to contribute to energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption by verifying the energy-saving impact.A limitation of this study is the inability to conduct the analysis for periods with missing actual capacity data.For a more comprehensive analysis of the energy efficiency improvement resulting from green remodeling in demonstration buildings, it will be essential to compare the actual conditions before and after remodeling across several buildings simultaneously.Additionally, conducting an economic analysis of green remodeling will involve evaluating the actual energy consumption and associated costs.
