Seocho-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jeon Seong-su) announced on the 19th that it will actively promote the 'Green Remodeling Construction for National and Public Daycare Centers.'

The 'Green Remodeling Construction for National and Public Daycare Centers' targets old daycare centers with low energy efficiency that have an area of 1,000㎡ or more and care for 100 or more children. It is a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport public project aimed at reducing carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases and improving energy performance.

The district plans to significantly improve heating and cooling energy efficiency through construction work on older daycare centers, including wall insulation, window replacement, installation of heat recovery ventilation systems, and replacement of high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.

In the first half of this year, construction was completed at Seocho Daycare Center and Seocho Yeonkkot Daycare Center, and in the second half, construction will be carried out at Seocho Hanbyeol Daycare Center, with Yangjae 2-dong Daycare Center scheduled for next year. The district plans to continuously expand green remodeling construction to improve energy performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future.
