The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is taking a proactive step to encourage energy efficiency in older buildings through its Green Remodeling Consulting program. Starting May 22, individuals and entities interested in improving the energy performance of their properties can apply for support.

Green Remodeling focuses on practical improvements such as enhancing insulation, replacing windows, and upgrading outdated facilities. These measures are crucial for reducing the overall energy consumption of buildings, a significant factor in national energy policy and environmental goals. The Ministry's initiative underscores a commitment to sustainability and modernizing the nation's building stock.

This program is particularly important for South Korea, a nation that relies heavily on imported energy resources. By promoting energy efficiency, the government aims to not only reduce environmental impact but also to lessen dependence on foreign energy supplies. The consulting service will guide property owners through the process, making Green Remodeling more accessible and understandable, thereby fostering wider adoption across the country.
