'Indoor Temperature 20℃'... Korea Energy Agency Launches Winter Energy Saving Campaign

The Korea Energy Agency conducted a street campaign at Seoul Station together with Korea Railroad Corporation, appealing to citizens within the station to participate in energy saving during the winter season.

This campaign took place on the 19th at Seoul Station, one of the major commercial areas with heavy foot traffic, following a campaign held near Gangnam Station last December. It promoted winter energy-saving practices to Seoul Station users and urged their participation.

Lee Sang-hoon, Chairman of the Korea Energy Agency (second from the left), is distributing winter protection supplies to citizens at Seoul Station on the 19th and promoting winter energy-saving practices.

The agency suggested the following winter energy-saving practices: ▲ maintaining indoor temperature at 20℃ ▲ reducing heat loss through gaps using bubble wrap and curtains ▲ closing valves of heating water distributors in unused rooms ▲ practicing 온(maepsi) by wearing thermal underwear, cardigans, or using knee blankets ▲ lowering the temperature of electric heating pads by one level.

In addition, the agency is conducting promotional activities to spread the culture of energy saving by collaborating with energy-related organizations, associations, and groups to provide guidance on winter energy-saving practices.

Lee Sang-hoon, the agency’s director, stated, "With increased heating demand due to cold waves and abnormal weather, energy saving is no longer optional but essential. We ask every citizen to pay attention and practice small actions such as maintaining indoor temperature at 20℃ and 온(maepsi). The agency will also take the lead in energy saving."
