[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 18th that it will implement a green building creation support project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and improve citizens' residential welfare.


Since 2015, the city has been supporting the creation of private green buildings by enacting the "Suncheon City Green Building Creation Support Ordinance," the first among basic local governments nationwide, and last year, after collecting opinions from civic groups and experts, it significantly expanded the support conditions and targets by sector.


The rooftop and wall greening projects for buildings have no restrictions on the use or size of the buildings and provide support up to 40 million KRW within 80% of the construction cost.


The passive house support project, which has steadily gained popularity as a practical project, supports houses and residential-commercial complexes under 660㎡ with up to 30 million KRW within 50% of the construction cost.


Applicants wishing to receive support should submit an application form, project plan, design drawings, and other required documents to the Suncheon City Architecture Division by the 25th.


A Suncheon City official stated, "In line with the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, which is being held again after 10 years, we ask for the active interest and participation of citizens this year in the green building creation project that enhances the dignity of the garden and cultural city."



Meanwhile, over the past six years, Suncheon City has supported 22.8 billion KRW for 228 private buildings including passive houses, and plans to continuously promote policies to revitalize green building creation, such as holding idea contests in the first half of this year.
