“…In most countries, the commercial building sector’s commercial office sub-sector generates most of the floor space and energy use [ 156 ]. The commercial office sector has grown steadily in most developed and emerging countries during the past decade [ 157 ]. In the past decade, the commercial office sector has been a target for improving energy management procedures [ 158 ].…”

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been seen as an attractive area of research for civil engineering professionals to subdivide complex issues. Based on the assignment’s history, nearby agents, and objective, the agent intended to take the appropriate action to complete the task. MAS models complex systems, smart grids, and computer networks. MAS has problems with agent coordination, security, and work distribution despite its use. This paper reviews MAS definitions, attributes, applications, issues, and communications. For this reason, MASs have drawn interest from computer science and civil engineering experts to solve complex difficulties by subdividing them into smaller assignments. Agents have individual responsibilities. Each agent selects the best action based on its activity history, interactions with neighbors, and purpose. MAS uses the modeling of complex systems, smart grids, and computer networks. Despite their extensive use, MAS still confronts agent coordination, security, and work distribution challenges. This study examines MAS’s definitions, characteristics, applications, issues, communications, and evaluation, as well as the classification of MAS applications and difficulties, plus research references. This paper should be a helpful resource for MAS researchers and practitioners. MAS in controlling smart grids, including energy management, energy marketing, pricing, energy scheduling, reliability, network security, fault handling capability, agent-to-agent communication, SG-electrical cars, SG-building energy systems, and soft grids, have been examined. More than 100 MAS-based smart grid control publications have been reviewed, categorized, and compiled.

“…The evaluation items and criteria of G-SEED are similar to that of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification of the United States [37,39]. The G-SEED certificate grades the energy efficiency of buildings into Green 1 to Green 4 based on derived scores.…”

As Korea has declared to realize a net-zero emission by 2050 in the Paris Agreement, the country has begun to implement national energy efficiency policies through the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED) certification and revision of building insulation thickness standard. However, some studies have reported the ineffectiveness of G-SEED certification and insulation thickness standard in reducing the energy consumption in certain buildings. Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of G-SEED certification and the revision of buildings’ insulation thickness standard, and evaluated the energy consumption of courthouse buildings. In addition, this study investigated the total annual energy consumption (electricity, gas, and heating energy) per gross floor area of courthouse buildings located in the central and southern regions of South Korea. Although many studies about the energy consumption analysis of non-residential buildings have been performed previously, a study evaluating the effectiveness of green certification and building insulation thickness standard on the energy consumption of courthouse buildings was performed for the first time. The results revealed that the revision of building insulation thickness standard and G-SEED certification resulted in an energy consumption efficiency of 34.61 and 31.14%, respectively. These results indicated the effectiveness of G-SEED certification and the revision of the building insulation thickness standard for enhancing energy efficiency in Korean courthouse buildings. However, some negative results were observed in the southern area, indicating that it is essential to increase the effectiveness of the building insulation thickness standard and G-SEED certification implementation.

“…As incomes increase, people become more concerned with the improvements in life quality and productivity [34]. Office buildings are a special type of multi-occupied building in which the owners have a lease relationship with the users [22]. Energy-efficiency retrofit projects, however, do not impose contractual obligations on users [18].…”

“…Furthermore, users' coordination is more challenging in existing office buildings than in new construction or existing residential buildings. The reason for this is that complex leases may result in financial disputes [22]. Users' acceptance can be improved by feasible incentive policies [23], but most policies are currently geared in favor of owners rather than users [16].…”

Environmental degradation is significantly influenced by the construction industry. Energy-efficient retrofitting of existing office buildings has become an effective means of reducing building energy consumption. Implementation of retrofits requires the support and cooperation of stakeholders. However, existing studies on the dynamics of decision-making behavior among stakeholders are still relatively limited. This study constructed a tripartite evolutionary game model including the government, property owners, and end users, to better understand the behavioral evolution and evolutionary stabilization strategies of stakeholders. The results show that: stakeholders’ decision-making behavior has obvious mutual influence; benefits and costs are the dominant factors in stakeholders’ decision making; the effects of government supervision policies depend on the profitability of the project; and government behavior appears to be influenced by public willingness. In addition, targeted countermeasures were proposed for the development of the energy-efficiency retrofit market. This study provides a generic model that fits various contexts and can be used to inform a reference for scientific decision making by stakeholders.
