[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Korea Energy Agency is currently accepting applications for a project to establish a building energy diagnosis information database (DB) aimed at improving the energy efficiency of aging buildings.

According to the agency on the 11th, this consulting service provides energy-saving improvement plans derived from professional institutions analyzing the building's energy consumption, equipment status, and energy usage patterns.

The support target for aging buildings includes private buildings nationwide with a total floor area of 1,000㎡ or more and that have been in use for over 15 years.

The usage types are limited to cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, medical facilities, educational and research facilities, office facilities, lodging facilities, and facilities for the elderly and children.

An agency official stated, "To revitalize the energy service industry in the building sector, we will establish a DB utilizing the results of energy diagnoses," adding, "We will provide building energy performance improvement services such as efficiency level comparative evaluations and customized solution proposals."

He continued, "This project will encourage investment in energy savings for aging buildings and contribute to green remodeling and the enhancement of building energy efficiency."

Those wishing to participate in the building energy diagnosis information DB establishment project can apply through the agency's project operation website. Applicants must prepare related documents such as the building energy diagnosis application form and building register.

Applications are accepted until December 31. The application period may close early if demand is high.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the agency held a project briefing session for professional institutions that will conduct the consulting. In the future, briefing sessions will also be held for local governments and building owners.
