“…Rapid economic development in South Korea has raised the level of desired comfort in dwellings, which has led to a sharp upward trend in demand that exceeded 20 Mtoe in 2011, up approximately 30% from 2000. This growth was the highest among Korean sectors as well as inside the Asia-Pacific Region [88].…”

“…On account of rapid economic growth, South Korea has become an energy-intensive country with the eleventh-largest consumption rate of fossil fuel, most of which are imported [88]. This country has very restricted energy resources and is highly dependent on external sources of energy which makes the Korea the fifth-largest oil importer and the second-largest importer of LNG in the world [56].…”

“…Step 7: Establishment of the regional energy supply and demand strategy Based on the results of the regional energy supply and demand analysis by elementary school facility, a regional energy supply and demand strategy is proposed largely from the following two perspectives. Through these strategies, energy supply and demand would be successfully promoted (Table S13 of Supporting Information) [88,89].…”

New renewable energy is attracting considerable attention as a future energy source. The photovoltaic (PV) market, in particular, has grown significantly during the past decade. The use of the rooftop PV system in buildings in urban environments is being actively promoted. This research was conducted to develop a framework for the analysis of the potential of the rooftop PV system to achieve the net-zero energy solar buildings in terms of energy supply. To verify the feasibility of the proposed framework, a total of 5418 elementary school facilities located in 16 administrative divisions in South Korea were selected as case studies. This research (i) collected information on the elementary school facilities, the rooftop PV system, and the meteorological and geographical characteristics by region; (ii) conducted an energy supply analysis by applying the rooftop PV system; (iii) conducted an energy demand analysis; (iv) analyzed the energy substitution effect; (v) presented the current status of the energy supply and demand in each region using the geographical information system; (vi) analyzed the causal relationship between the energy supply and demand by region; and (vii) proposed an energy supply and demand strategy by region. This research can help elementary school facility managers or policymakers conduct an energy supply and demand analysis as well as propose an energy supply and demand strategy. It can be used as part of an educational facility improvement program. The framework proposed in this research can also be applied to any other country or sector in the global environment.

“…Song & Choi [13] had carried out study on the effect of balcony alteration on the indoor thermal environment and the heating and cooling demands of residential buildings in Korea by field measurement and simulation. Their results indicated that the indoor temperature of a living room without a balcony was 0.8 C lower than that with a balcony in the winter season.…”
