KT said on the 9th that it will expand the odd-even license plate driving restrictions to all 318 offices nationwide to join the government's resource security crisis response policy and to spread a companywide culture of energy saving.
KT had already been implementing the odd-even license plate driving restrictions at 68 offices on its own, and with this measure it will add 250 offices to expand the scope. The restrictions run by day of the week: on Monday, vehicles with license plates ending in 1 or 6; on Tuesday, 2 or 7; on Wednesday, 3 or 8; on Thursday, 4 or 9; and on Friday, 0 or 5 are restricted from entry. The policy applies to employees' vehicles and visitor vehicles to the offices, while exceptions will be made for vehicles for people with disabilities, vehicles with pregnant passengers or infants, company vehicles for business use, and night shift workers.
Beyond the odd-even license plate restrictions, KT is also developing and applying technologies to boost energy efficiency in its network operations, including a solution to optimize cooling temperatures in communication rooms, an energy-saving orchestrator, and a server power optimization solution. Through its integrated control center, the company said it is monitoring in real time the status of facilities and energy use at KT buildings nationwide, operating HVAC and lighting systems efficiently, and working to save energy.
