The Public Building Green Remodeling Project aims to improve the energy efficiency of public buildings that are over 10 years old and create a more comfortable environment.

Starting in 2024, Okwa Public Library plans to carry out energy efficiency improvements such as installing solar panels utilizing renewable energy and replacing exterior insulation walls. Through this, it expects to reduce annual electricity consumption by about 30%.

An official from Okwa Public Library said, "Taking this contest project selection as an opportunity, we will enhance the library's energy efficiency and create a more comfortable indoor environment to make it a library that satisfies the residents."
