This project aims to remodel public buildings that are more than 10 years old in an eco-friendly manner to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The city plans to invest a total project budget of 9.4 billion won, including 7.4 billion won in national and provincial funds, into these two buildings to carry out energy performance improvement works such as insulation construction, window replacement, and the installation of high-efficiency heating and cooling systems.

Starting with design contracts next year, the city plans to proceed with construction and complete the project by the end of 2027.

Gwangmyeong City has been continuously promoting green remodeling projects centered around the Green Architecture Support Center. Last year, the city was recognized for its achievements in its own initiatives, such as transitioning to zero-energy buildings, and received a commendation from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport as an outstanding institution.

Park Seungwon, Mayor of Gwangmyeong, said, "We will systematically improve the energy performance of aging public buildings to create a more comfortable living environment for our citizens," adding, "We will expand green remodeling to the private sector as well, creating a sustainable urban environment throughout Gwangmyeong City."
