Construction Companies Participating in Green Building Talent Donation Project Receive Mayor's Commendation from Suwon

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Eight construction companies participating in Suwon City's 'Private Green Building Talent Donation Project' received commendations from the Suwon Mayor for their contributions to improving residential environments in aging buildings.

On the 9th, the city presented commendations at a conference room in the City Hall annex to ▲Lotte E&C; ▲Samsung C&T; ▲SK Construction ▲I-Tech Construction ▲Posco Engineering ▲Hanwha Engineering ▲Hyundai Engineering & Construction ▲Hyosung Heavy Industries.

The private green building talent donation project, driven by the talent donations of eight construction companies undertaking major projects in Suwon, aims to improve aging buildings by utilizing the accumulated technical expertise of large construction firms and create sustainable residential environments.

From July to October, the city implemented first and second rounds of support projects, replacing insulation materials in 25 aging multi-family residential units and upgrading windows with products featuring higher thermal performance.

Construction companies support energy performance improvement projects for aging buildings that have been in use for over 15 years after receiving usage approval. They provide construction expertise for repairing insulation materials and windows in deteriorated homes and support 50% of construction costs.

The award ceremony was held on this day with attendance limited to key stakeholders including Lee Gil-joo, head of the Architecture Division of Suwon City, and eight construction site directors from the participating companies, while adhering to quarantine guidelines.

An official from Suwon City's Architecture Division stated, "We appreciate the construction companies for actively contributing to improving residential environments in aging buildings through talent donation," and added, "Next year, we will recruit more participating construction companies and make efforts to actively carry out projects based on talent donations from the private sector."
