Abstract

The world has been establishing policies that consider the environment whereas the construction industry has created and implemented an eco-friendly building evaluation system. In Korea, the mandatory policy of zero-energy buildings has been established since 2020. Overall, awareness and understanding of the Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design (G-SEED), green architecture, and the environmental certification system are needed. Active House Certification in Europe is a green building certification that has the advantage of being friendly and easy to understand for the public. This study aims to present concepts of environmental certification systems to identify solutions for the active implementation of sustainable features in Korea through the comparison of G-SEED in Korea and Active House Certification in Europe. This study compares, analyzes, and evaluates the evaluation classification system, composition and detailed criteria of Active House certification and G-SEED.
