Codes Workshop
Kangnam Novotel Hotel, Seoul, Korea
16th July 2007
As
a project of the Buildings and Appliances task force,
the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, the Korea
Energy Management Corporation, and the Korea Institute
of Construction Technology co-hosted a project 6
(Building Codes) team meeting in Seoul on 16 July 2007.
The goal of this project is to enhance mutual
understanding of each country’s building energy code,
with the ultimate objective of increasing international
trade among building industries as well as developing
and improving each member country’s own code.
13 participants from 6 partner countries were invited to
discuss and confirm the work scope of the Building Codes
project. Participating countries reported their project
status, and they also discussed next steps, future
meetings and reporting timelines. Importantly, the
working organizations of each member country for project
6 were determined.
Along with the project 6 team meeting, some time was
allocated to discuss other building projects,
particularly project 7 - High Performance Buildings and
Development (HABAD). A proposal for a web-site and
database for HPBAD was made, and an Australian delegate
presented an opportunity of AP6 to be a
sponsor participant of the World Sustainable Buildings
Conference, SB08, in
Melbourne, 21-25 September 2008. The project 7 team has
decided to
recommend Green Buildings Flagship in Beijing: an Agenda
21 Building, an Olympic Village Zero Energy Building and
a Mayors Training Center Building as flagship project.
