ABSTRACT

Purpose: Medical center has consumed the energy about twice the average value of building types. So, many countries have tried sustainability and energy reduction for building types through eco friendly certificate. This study investigate the eco friendly building certificate and energy performance certificate focusing in UK and Korea, and search the characteristics of status and services of certificates. Methods: BREEAM openbook and EPC open data have been studied in UK, and green building performance certificate and EPC data in korea have been analyzed. Results: UK has eco friendly building certificate focusing on healthcare, and EPC shows the standard, benchmark reference value, so lead to the CO2 emission reduction. Primary health center and hospital show the higher value due to the dwelling unit. like a patient bed. Korea doesn’t have green building certificate yet on healthcare, and EPC shows not the reference data, but the primary energy consumption. Korean cases just like in UK, clinic, public health, and outpatient center show the lower value compared to medical center, nursing home and general hospital. Implications: In Korea, it is needed for energy efficiency to have reference data information like a standard and benchmarking value for new design and construction.
