Current Issues on Warehouse Energy Management in Korea

초록

As one of the top energy importers Korea relies mostly on import to meet domestic energy demand. To decrease energy consumption Korean government has established policies and conduct various activities. However warehouses in Korea haven’t paid much attention on energy efficiency. According to the recent survey, 70% of warehouses haven’t conduct energy saving activities as well as set up energy conservation plans. Many building energy management systems(BEMS) have been developed and applied for building energy savings. But it is hard to apply typical BEMS to warehouse directly because ordinary BEMS doesn’t consider logistics activities sufficiently. In this study we examine energy consumption of warehouses in Korea and deal with several issues on warehouse energy management.
