One of the pressing issues in most contemporary cities is to reduce energy consumption based on fossil fuel and to improve energy usage efficiency to cope with the global climate change. In this aspect, even our country is enforcing the Building Energy Efficiency Rating Certification System as a part of the national energy policy for enhancing energy performance. However, it 's hard to find literature which studies empirically into an energy cost saving effect of the Building Energy Efficiency Rating Certification System. Accordingly, this study empirically analyzes the cost saving effect regarding the heating management fee of apartments that acquired the Certification in the Capital Area including Seoul and Daejeon & Sejong City Area. As a result, the Building Energy Efficiency Rating Certification based on the Total Energy Saving Rate could be confirmed to have a signifiant influence upon heating energy and management fee in apartments. In light of this outcome, the Building Energy Efficiency Rating Certification System is evaluated to be contributing positively to heating energy saving in apartments on the whole.
