Influencing of the Building Energy Policies upon the Efficiency of Energy Consumption: The Case of Courthouse Buildings in South Korea

Although many about analysis non-residential been performed previously, evaluating green on was first time. The results revealed that resulted an 34.61 31.14%, respectively.
