Green Remodeling Regional Hub Platform Configuration Plan (Draft) (Provided by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport)

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation announced that they will establish and operate a regional hub platform to promote green remodeling, and will begin the recruitment announcement for the 'Green Remodeling Regional Hub Platform Leading Institutions' starting from the 21st.

The Green Remodeling Regional Hub Platform Leading Institutions aim to build a cooperative system among specialized organizations to promote green remodeling, as the importance of improving the energy performance of existing buildings increases due to the Green New Deal initiative and national greenhouse gas reduction targets.

Institutions wishing to participate can submit an application form in the prescribed format to the Green Building Center of the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation by the 3rd of next month. Afterward, a comprehensive evaluation of the applicant institutions' expertise and project execution capabilities will determine the final selection.

Institutions selected as Green Remodeling Regional Hub Platform Leading Institutions will work with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation, and others to complete the formation of platforms in each region composed of local governments, businesses, and citizens, and will act as leading institutions. In particular, they plan to focus on exploring ways to revitalize green remodeling in the region alongside the public building green remodeling project promoted as part of the Green New Deal, one of the key tasks of the Korean New Deal.

Kim Sang-hoon, Director of Building Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "All policies can maximize their effects when experts, local governments, and citizens in each region work together," adding, "In the case of green remodeling, networking and collaboration with the region are important, so we plan to develop the regional hub platform into a think tank for green remodeling policies and a foothold for project revitalization."
