Lotte Shopping Joins Private Sector's Largest Low-Carbon Energy Policy Project
[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Lotte Shopping announced on the 14th that a total of 31 business sites, the largest scale among private companies and commercial facilities, participated in the '2020 Building Energy Diagnosis Information DB Construction Project' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and implemented by the Korea Energy Agency.
This project, involving 31 Lotte Shopping business sites nationwide including Lotte Department Store, marts, and supermarkets, is part of the government's Korean New Deal Green Policy. It is a key government energy policy project aimed at revitalizing the domestic energy industry by conducting energy diagnoses of aging buildings nationwide and constructing and utilizing a database of the diagnosis results.
Lotte Shopping explained that through this project, they were able to understand the energy usage flow of nationwide stores over 15 years old, identify loss factors, and derive improvement points for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing energy costs. Additionally, through consulting with energy experts, they established a system for reducing greenhouse gases in existing aging stores and creating green buildings, and will continue efforts for leading energy performance improvements and achieving carbon neutrality.
In particular, Lotte Department Store Ansan Branch plans to introduce state-of-the-art ICT facilities based on the energy diagnosis results to establish a foundation for measuring, controlling, and monitoring electricity usage, and will seek company-wide expansion plans through future project performance and feasibility reviews.
