In response to the rapid climate change, in order to save energy in the field of buildings, the country is planning not only zero energy buildings but also zero energy cities. In the Urban Development Project, the Energy Use Plan Report is prepared and submitted by predicting the amount of energy demand at the planning stage. However, due to the activation of zero-energy buildings and the increase in the supply of new and renewable energy facilities, the energy consumption behavior of buildings in the city is changing from the previous ones. In this study, to estimate urban energy demand of Zero Energy City, building energy demand forecasts based on “Passive plans for use of energy based primary energy consumption”, “Actual building energy usage data from Korea Appraisal Board” and “data from Certification of Building Energy Efficiency Rating” as well as demand forecast according to existing “Consultation about Energy Use Plan Code” were calculated and then applied to Multifunctional Administrative City 5-1 zone to compare urban total energy demand forecasts.
