Seoul Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced on the 26th that Eunpyeong-gu Library and Jeungsan Information Library, public libraries managed by the district, have been selected for the 2023 Public Building Green Remodeling Contest organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Public Building Green Remodeling is a project aimed at improving the energy performance of buildings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by enhancing insulation, facilities, and other aspects of public buildings that are over 10 years old since completion.

Through this selection, the district secured 3.22 billion KRW in national funds and 1.93 billion KRW in city funds. After completing preliminary administrative procedures such as budgeting, the district plans to actively proceed with detailed design and the green remodeling project.

Eunpyeong-gu Library has been open for 23 years, and Jeungsan Information Library has been operating for 16 years. Both aging facilities will undergo green remodeling, including internal and external insulation reinforcement and replacement with high-performance windows.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, "Through the green remodeling project, residents will be able to use the libraries more comfortably," adding, "We will spare no effort to ensure that the libraries become spaces for community communication through environmental improvements."
