Yongin to Select Outstanding Carbon-Neutral Apartment Complexes

'2025 Carbon Neutral Green Complex Competition' to Be Held
Open to Complexes with 150 or More Households... 15 Winners to Be Selected and Awarded

On May 12, the city of Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, announced that it will hold the "2025 Carbon Neutral Green Complex Competition" for apartment complexes in the city in order to promote a culture of carbon-neutral living practices.

The competition is open to apartment complexes with 150 or more households. Once selected as participants, the complexes must implement various carbon-neutral practices?such as reducing electricity consumption and improving energy-consuming facilities?by September 30.

The city will divide the applicants into two groups: those with fewer than 500 households and those with 500 or more. It will evaluate each complex based on several criteria, including the rate of energy use reduction, the proportion of electric vehicle charging spaces, solar panel installations, improvements in energy efficiency, and promotion of the "eco-friendly Jjantech" system. In December, the city plans to select 15 outstanding green complexes.

Selected outstanding complexes will receive incentives in the form of volume-based waste disposal bags worth between 700,000 and 3,000,000 won, depending on the complex and group. The top two complexes will also receive a Green Complex plaque. Complexes wishing to participate can download and submit the application form from the city's official website under Notices and Announcements.

Last year, the city selected eight outstanding complexes?including Dongcheon Park Xi and Hoban Summit Lake Park?through the same competition.

A city official stated, "We organized this competition to promote energy savings and the spread of a carbon-neutral lifestyle culture centered on the community," adding, "Small actions by citizens will become the driving force for creating a sustainable city."
