Green Remodeling of Seven Elderly Centers Secures KRW 1.1 Billion National Funding: Jeongseon Launches
Project Overview and Selected Sites: Jeongseon Launches
Jeongseon Launches: Jeongseon County secured KRW 1.1 billion in central government funding from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s green remodeling program. Seven aging public facilities—Nosil Senior Center, Gwangha 1-ri, Jeongseon, Jodong 4-ri, Cheonpo-ri, Bancheon 1-ri, and Dumae-Ari senior centers—over ten years old, were selected. Highlighting high energy consumption and frequent use by elderly residents, the county emphasized both carbon-neutral infrastructure and local welfare benefits. Officials say the project not only aligns with national energy-saving goals but also sets a precedent for expanding green remodeling into the private sector. 사무실 인테리어 플랫폼
Key Remodeling Features and Schedule
The green remodeling includes interior/exterior insulation upgrades, triple-glazed high-performance windows, high-efficiency heat-pump HVAC systems, and energy-recovery ventilators. Eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free insulation minimizes heat loss; reflective exterior coatings block solar gain. Triple-pane composite windows further improve thermal performance, while heat-pump units drastically cut electricity use. Energy-recovery ventilators enhance indoor air quality, and rooftop photovoltaic modules provide on-site power generation. Construction begins in late 2025, with each site undergoing two to three months of work, aiming for completion by August 2026. The county will enforce strict contractor evaluation and oversight for a transparent process.
Expected Benefits and Past Achievements
This project is expected to cut annual energy use by over 30%. Between 2020 and 2022, Jeongseon invested KRW 3.8 billion in green remodeling of 16 sites—health centers and daycare facilities—achieving a 25% average energy reduction. Last year’s Yuchon 2-ri senior center upgrade cut heating bills by 40%. Completing the seven new sites will boost elderly residents’ welfare and visibly reduce countywide greenhouse gas emissions. City Planner Park Byung-tae stated, “Ongoing green remodeling is vital for quality of life. We will expand the program to more facilities to further cut emissions and enhance public services.”price-surge
