Zero energy Buildings Market size was valued at USD 82.7 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 212.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.9% from 2026 to 2033.
South Korea's Zero Energy Buildings Market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by stringent government regulations and a growing emphasis on sustainability. The nation's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions has led to the implementation of mandatory Zero Energy Building (ZEB) certifications, affecting both public and private sectors.
Since 2020, public buildings with a gross floor area (GFA) of 1,000 m² or more have been required to obtain ZEB certification. This mandate expanded in 2022 to include buildings with a GFA of 500 m² or more. By 2024, all public buildings must comply with ZEB standards. For the private sector, buildings exceeding 100,000 m² must meet ZEB requirements starting in 2023, with the threshold lowering to 1,000 m² by 2025. The ultimate goal is for all buildings over 500 m² to be ZEB-certified by 2030.
The ZEB certification system in South Korea is tiered into five grades, based on the Energy Self-Sufficiency Rate (ESR):
Grade 1: ESR ≥ 100%
Grade 2: ESR ≥ 80%
Grade 3: ESR ≥ 60%
Grade 4: ESR ≥ 40%
Grade 5: ESR ≥ 20%
The construction industry faces significant challenges in adapting to these regulations. For instance, private apartments with more than 30 households are now required to achieve at least Grade 5 certification. This necessitates the integration of high-performance windows, advanced insulation materials, and renewable energy systems like solar panels. Consequently, construction costs are projected to rise, with estimates ranging from an additional 1.3 million to 3 million won per household.
Despite these challenges, the market for Zero Energy Buildings is expanding. The domestic market size is anticipated to grow from 8.6 trillion won in 2014 to 20 trillion won by 2024, reflecting increased investment in energy-efficient construction and technologies.
Leading the way in innovation, the EnergyX DY-Building, completed in 2023, stands as South Korea's first commercial Plus Energy Building. Achieving an energy self-sufficiency rate of 121.7%, it exemplifies the potential of integrating passive design strategies with renewable energy technologies.
As South Korea continues to enforce and expand its ZEB regulations, the construction and real estate industries must adapt to meet these evolving standards. Embracing energy-efficient designs and renewable energy integration will be crucial for compliance and for contributing to the nation's sustainability goals.
