Project summary
| The apartment buildings were built for low-income families by KNHC (Korea National Housing Cooperation) in new apartments’ area, Cheonju, Korea, located about 300km south west of Seoul. The community is leased apartments for 1 215 families, and 55-80m2/family.
The national rental housing is a sort of public rental housing constructed with government financing and the National Housing Fund, and is rented to people who are houseless, or have low income, for a long-term and low price. KNHC purchases and repairs multi-unit tenement housing, and rents them to the vulnerable people who are living downtown at 30% of the market price so that they can dwell at their practical income level. |
Urban scale PV aspects
| As a new residential application, a 250kW PV system was applied to the apartment buildings. This new application is a monumental one, since more than half of Korean housing is now multi-family type. |

| | Info on grid issues | Electricity produced by the PV system is mainly used for public, e.g. streetlight, emergency light etc.
Although the electricity by PV isn’t used for each family, the electricity is re-supplied because a whole family has electric hot water equipment. | | Other info | | | Remarks and recommended reading | KNHC & S-ENERGY are developing a technique for application of BIPV systems, currently. A closer application will be expected for a green apartment using self-production green energy to be built. |
