A Proposal on Selecting the Electrical Power Capacity of Each Apartment Unit

The need to achieve carbon neutrality and the acceleration of urbanization are increasingly prominent. The demand for apartment complexes is rising, leading to an emerging need for increased electrical facility capacity. Although various attempts have been made to calculate the electricity requirements for each apartment unit, the improvements have not yielded significant results. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for calculating the electrical capacity for each apartment household unit, taking into account actual electricity usage conditions. It addresses the challenges in calculating the electrical capacity of domestic apartment complexes through design cases in major cities in Gyeonggi province. This paper describes the key issues related to the calculation of household electricity consumption in apartment complexes in South Korea and compares and analyzes the electricity calculation methods between OECD countries and domestic practices
