Suncheon-si Promotes Selection of Eco-Friendly Excellent Green Apartments This Year

Evaluation of Carbon Point Enrollment and Reduction Rates of Electricity, Water, Gas, and Food Waste
Incentives of 34.2 Million KRW to 10 Places Including 6 Million KRW for the Best

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do announced on the 11th that it is promoting the selection of outstanding green apartments to encourage voluntary participation in greenhouse gas reduction and eco-friendly living practices.

Among 138 apartment complexes with more than 100 households in the area, the evaluation criteria will include the carbon point system subscription rate, and reduction rates of electricity, water, gas, and food waste. Based on the evaluation results, incentives totaling 34.2 million KRW will be awarded to 10 selected complexes, including 6 million KRW for one top winner and 5 million KRW each for two excellent winners.

The incentives can be used for greenhouse gas reduction projects such as planting trees to expand carbon sinks and replacing high-efficiency LED lighting equipment.

Last year, the city also provided 36 million KRW in incentives to 10 apartment complexes that reduced greenhouse gases, supporting various carbon reduction projects.

An official from Suncheon City's Ecological Environment Division stated, “For Suncheon City to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, active participation from multi-family housing, where about 70% of citizens reside, is essential,” and added, “We hope for voluntary and active participation from citizens in the Suncheon-type carbon neutrality policy, which is being actively promoted starting this year.”
