Gangseo-gu Conducts On-site Heating Temperature Inspections at 14 High Energy Consumption Buildings

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) will conduct inspections of heating temperatures in energy-intensive buildings until February 28 next year. This initiative aims to reduce energy consumption by checking the heating temperatures of energy-intensive buildings during the winter season when heating demand significantly increases, thereby contributing to the reduction of fine dust and greenhouse gases.

"Energy-intensive buildings" refer to buildings with an annual energy consumption of 2000 TOE (Ton of Oil Equivalent) or more. The inspection targets 14 energy-intensive buildings in the district based on last year's data, including ▲ LG Science Park ▲ Lotte Mall Gimpo Airport Branch ▲ Korea Airports Corporation Gimpo Airport ▲ Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation Gangseo Branch ▲ Kolon Industries Inc. ▲ E-Land Retail Gangseo Branch, among others.

The district plans to conduct on-site inspections at least once per building to check compliance with heating temperature standards (18℃ or below for public buildings, 20℃ or below for private buildings) and to monitor for practices such as operating heating systems while keeping doors open during business hours. Additionally, the district strongly encourages replacing old, inefficient gas boilers with high-efficiency eco-friendly boilers.
