“…The energy data excluded the commercial part for the residential complexes. In addition, the community heating energy consumption was very small, and has been excluded in many previous studies 7) 10) . Electricity consumption data were available for 26 residential complexes, including 20,635 residential units of 187 residential buildings.…”

This study suggests a new method to evaluate the CO 2 emissions from residential complexes in South Korea. The conventional method only reflects energy consumption for space heating, hot water, and lighting. The Korean government has mandated a 40% reduction in CO 2 emissions from these sources to achieve the 26.9% national CO 2 reduction requirement from the building sector. The modified method reflects electricity consumption for public use and total electricity consumption for private use. The suggested equation for public electricity consumption is established by analyzing the electricity consumption of 26 residential complexes. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) the conventional evaluation method is appropriate for low-rise residential complexes and a 26.7% reduction in CO 2 emissions is expected. (2) However, the conventional method cannot meet the national CO 2 reduction goal in high-rise residential complexes. Only a 21.7% reduction in CO 2 emissions can be achieved and a modification of the energy calculation method and CO 2 reduction goal should occur.

“…Indeed, in contemporary times, many city authorities have embraced high-rise buildings as tools for pursuing urban compactness, sustainability. For instance, in response to massive urban population growth, urbanization, scarcity of land, the city authorities of Singapore and China have promoted tall buildings (Chen et al 2012;Choi et al 2012). The economic viability of tall buildings, as well their perceived manifestation of economic power, has catalysed vertical development in Australia and the gulf region in the twenty-first century (Costello 2005;Short 2007).…”

“…In this study, the existing studies on these three factors are summarized in Tables 1-3. (1) Building geometry: Building energy demand is greatly influenced by a building's composition and shape. Thus, almost all the previous studies related to building geometry evaluated building energy performance by focusing on the surrounding environment (i.e., site slope) and plan form (refer to Table 1) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. For example, De Castro and Gadi (2017) compared the annual energy savings according to the site slope within the range of 0~50 • to find out the ideal design by considering the topography.…”

Abstract:To cope with 'Post-2020', each country set its national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target (e.g., South Korea: 37%) below its business-as-usual level by 2030. Toward this end, it is necessary to implement the net-zero energy building (nZEB) in the building sector, which accounts for more than 25% of the national GHG emissions and has a great potential to reduce GHG emissions. In this context, this study conducted a state-of-the-art review of nZEB implementation strategies in terms of passive strategies (i.e., passive sustainable design and energy-saving technique) and active strategies (i.e., renewable energy (RE) and back-up system for RE). Additionally, this study proposed the following advanced strategies for nZEB implementation according to a building's life cycle: (i) integration and optimization of the passive and active strategies in the early phase of a building's life cycle; (ii) real-time monitoring of the energy performance during the usage phase of a building's life cycle. It is expected that this study can help researchers, practitioners, and policymakers understand the overall implementation strategies for realizing nZEB.
