Seodaemun-gu Supports Energy Efficiency Improvement Construction Costs for Aging Low-Rise Housing

Up to 4.5 million KRW within 50% of construction costs... However, at least 2.5 million KRW must be self-funded

Eligible projects include insulation work, rooftop cool roof installation, window/LED lighting/eco-friendly boiler replacement

Analysis of participating households last year showed about 60% reduction in heat loss when replacing windows

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) is promoting the "Low-rise Residential Energy Saving and Efficiency Project" targeting houses with five floors or less that are over 20 years old in the area.

Through this, support of up to 4.5 million KRW per household will be provided within 50% of the energy efficiency improvement construction costs. However, the total construction cost must be at least 5 million KRW (with at least 2.5 million KRW self-funded).

The eligible projects include ▲ ceiling and interior/exterior insulation work ▲ window replacement (with highly airtight windows having excellent insulation performance) ▲ rooftop cool roof installation (heat-blocking paint coating) ▲ LED lighting replacement ▲ eco-friendly boiler replacement, etc.

Homeowners or tenants authorized by the owners can apply by 6 p.m. on the 30th of this month. The district will evaluate energy-saving effects and select a total of 30 households for support.

For detailed information on how to apply and required documents, please refer to the "Notices and Announcements" section on the Seodaemun-gu website or contact the Climate and Environment Division of Seodaemun-gu Office.

Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, "We expect effects such as energy savings and the creation of comfortable living spaces through the improvement of low-rise old houses with high energy leakage rates."

As a result of energy performance analysis conducted on 30 households that participated last year, it was found that replacing windows reduced heat loss by about 60%, and when window replacement was combined with interior insulation work, heat loss was reduced by about 70-80%.

Seodaemun-gu plans to expand such projects for old houses in the area.
