“…Combining with the BAU (business-as-susal) analysis method of Huang B et al [15] and Grey Forecasting Model GM(1,1) [16], this study estimated values of energy use in 2020. BAU scenario assumes energy consumed in per unit maintains the latest level of study period [17][18][19] and GM(1,1) model uses average growth speed to predict the value of total outputs [20][21][22]. The results are shown in Table 4.…”

Abstract:With the fast-paced urbanization process, there will be a rapid development of China's construction industry. However, it could also drive for considerable energy consumption, resulting in immense pressure on the environment. Based on non-competitive (import) input-output tables, we employed the SRIO (Single Region Input-Output) model to analyze energy use embodied in China's construction industry from 1995 to 2009 and made projections for 2020. Our results show that about 4.84 billion tons of coal equivalent energy would be consumed by China's construction industry in 2020. It implies that urbanization not only promotes the flow of embodied energy, but also provides development opportunities for a green and energy-saving construction industry.

“…The Taiwan LEAP model was used to compare future energy demand and supply patterns, as well as CO 2 emissions, for several alternative scenarios of energy policy and energy sector evolution [17]. In South Korea, the LEAP model was used to analyze future energy consumption in the electricity generation sector and to assess the environmental and economic impacts of renewable energy planning using alternative scenario investigations [18][19][20]. There have not been any studies assessing CO 2 emissions and reduction potential in the building sector using the LEAP model.…”

“…South Korea imported 96.4% of its total energy consumed in 2009. With regard to final energy consumption by sector, the building sector accounted for about 19.6% of overall consumption. Total CO 2 emissions reached 607.6 Mton CO 2 (million tons of CO 2 equivalent) in 2009, representing a 105% increase since 1990.…”

Abstract:The South Korean government announced its goals of reducing the country's CO 2 emissions by up to 30% below the business as usual (BAU) projections by 2020 in 2009 and 37% below BAU projections by 2030 in 2015. This paper explores the potential energy savings and reduction in CO 2 emissions offered by residential building energy efficiency policies and plans in South Korea. The current and future energy consumption and CO 2 emissions in the residential building were estimated using an energy-environment model from 2010 to 2030. The business as usual scenario is based on the energy consumption characteristic of residential buildings using the trends related to socio-economic prospects and the number of dwellings. The alternative scenarios took into account energy efficiency for new residential buildings (scenario I), refurbishment of existing residential buildings (scenario II), use of highly efficient boilers (scenario III), and use of a solar thermal energy system (scenario IV). The results show that energy consumption in the residential building sector will increase by 33% between 2007 and 2030 in the BAU scenario. Maximum reduction in CO 2 emissions in the residential building sector of South Korea was observed by 2030 in scenario I. In each alternative scenario analysis, CO 2 emissions were 12.9% lower than in the business as usual scenario by the year 2030.
