The city plans to divide groups into those with 150 to less than 500 households and those with 500 or more households, evaluating items such as energy usage reduction rate, the ratio of electric vehicle charging zones, solar panel installation, and improvements to energy-consuming facilities, to select 'Outstanding Green Complexes' in December.

The city will provide volume-based waste bags worth approximately 2.5 million KRW to the top complexes, 1.5 million KRW worth to excellent complexes, and 1 million KRW worth to encouraging complexes. Two top complexes will also receive a 'Green Complex' plaque.

Apartments wishing to participate can download the application form from the city’s website by the 10th and apply via email or mail.

Previously, in last year’s competition conducted by the city, eight complexes including Haedeun Maeul Good Morning Hill and Gwanggyo Ssangyong Foreduen 2 Complex were designated as excellent complexes and given incentives.

A city official said, "We hope many complexes will apply to demonstrate community unity and practice carbon neutrality and environmental protection."
