Himpel, a company specializing in ventilation appliances, said on the 29th that it is accepting consulting applications for multiunit housing for the Green Home Consulting (GHC) project through May 11.
The Green Home Consulting project will be promoted in cooperation with Nowon District Carbon Neutrality Bureau, Seoul Senior Employment Support Center, and Zero Energy Remodeling Cooperative.
Nowon District Carbon Neutrality Bureau will pursue energy savings and residential environment improvements for multiunit housing and multiuse facilities based on its carbon-neutral leading-city policy. Himpel will support ventilation and indoor air quality solutions and training and practice, the Seoul Senior Employment Support Center will be responsible for job training and participant recruitment to train Green Home Consultants, and the Zero Energy Remodeling Cooperative will handle credential administration and on-site consulting.
Green Home Consulting is a program that diagnoses the indoor air quality and energy use status of dwellings and presents directions for improvement. Green Home Consultants, who are senior specialists, visit sites in person to check air quality and energy environments and provide practical guides to improve residential environments.
Previously, through a pilot project last year, Himpel conducted indoor air quality improvements and energy diagnostics for about 40 households and confirmed interest in and demand for residential environment inspections.
This year's project will be expanded to target multiunit housing and multiuse facilities. A total of 75 sites in Seoul will be selected, and those selected will receive indoor air quality diagnostics—including carbon dioxide, fine dust, and total volatile organic compounds—using an IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) monitor, along with a data-based analytical report.
The consulting proceeds in stages of diagnosis, analysis, and provision of improvement guides. Consultants will focus on ventilation appliances such as ventilation air purifiers, bathroom ventilators, and kitchen hoods to check ventilation conditions and suggest improvements suited to the usage environment. They will also analyze current energy use and conduct consulting to improve efficiency in parallel.
A Himpel official said, "We hope this consulting will help you check the condition of the air in your home and serve as an opportunity to create a more pleasant environment."
