초록

Interest in smart energy systems as a means to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate climate change has been increasing. In particular, much attention is focused on the building sector, which has the highest potential for GHG reduction. Yet, there have been few studies that have thoroughly and quantitatively analyzed the potential amount of greenhouse gas reduction through introduction of building energy management systems (BEMS). This study focuses on empirical evidence generated by BEMS in Korea and analyzes the benefit to cost ratio of such installations for various types of buildings using individual building-level microdata from large buildings in the 2017 Energy Consumption Survey to quantitatively derive the potential for GHG reduction. According to the main research findings, the BEMS dissemination rate could increase by as much as 21 percent, which induces 3.3 percent of energy saving and 3.4 percent of GHG emission reduction. Among 9 sub-sectors, the telecommunications sub-sector has the largest dissemination rate (87.5 percent), and the department stores sub-sector has the lowest rate (1 percent).
