Ulsan City Holds Green Building Design Standards Briefing Session.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Starting next month, buildings constructed in Ulsan must be built as 'green buildings.'

Ulsan City announced on the 26th that from July 1, the 'Ulsan City Green Building Design Standards' will be applied when submitting building permit applications.

The 'Ulsan City Green Building Design Standards' were established to minimize the impact on buildings and the environment by presenting eco-friendly and energy-efficient design standards during construction activities such as new construction, extension, major repairs, and change of use, while simultaneously creating a comfortable and healthy residential environment.

Accordingly, from July 1, buildings with a total floor area of 500㎡ or more and apartment complexes with 30 or more households must comply with the green building design standards when newly constructing, extending, or changing the use of the building.

The applicable standards include environmental performance aspects (green building certification, water circulation management, indoor environment, etc.), environmental management aspects (fine dust reduction, air quality improvement, heat island effect reduction, etc.), and energy performance aspects (energy efficiency rating, reduction of heating and cooling energy, reduction of electrical energy, etc.).

The application method varies depending on the scale of residential and non-residential buildings, and incentives such as relaxation of floor area ratio and building height are provided according to the green building energy efficiency certification grade.
