Abstract
This study aims to compare the energy consumption characteristics of high-rise and general apartments and propose policy implications in Incheon City where high-rise apartments are planned. The method of analysis is to select the cases, to conduct field survey, drawing review, analysis of Electric Architectural administration Information System. The study derived the current status of energy consumption in high-rise and general apartment complexes located in the same region, Yeonsu-gu Incheon City, and performed comparative analysis on their characteristics. First, electrical energy in the high-rise apartment complexes was consumed excessively, by 1.63 to 2.5 times more than that of the general apartment complexes. Second, the gas energy usage in the high-rise apartment complexes was higher than that of the general complexes, by 1.09 to 1.2 times. Third, the energy consumption per unit area in the high-rises was also higher, by 1.042 to 1.3 times. As individual elements such as incomes, living standards, and life patterns of the residents affect energy consumption, the high-rise apartment complex consumed more energy per unit area than the general apartment complex did. However, this study did not consider the elements of energy expenditure and satisfaction level, which are the limitations of this research.
