The "Energy Efficiency Improvement Project for Low-Income Households" is a government-supported welfare program led by the Korea Energy Foundation. The project aims to improve the energy performance of residential environments for vulnerable groups and social welfare facilities by supporting insulation, window installation, flooring construction, and the replacement of high-efficiency boilers. This year, the government plans to invest a total of 108.6 billion won to support 56,000 households.

KCC and the Korea Energy Foundation plan to cooperate in several areas, including: the development of customized training courses for window installation work; joint educational programs for interior construction; practical training to enhance field expertise; and support for educational infrastructure.

Based on its expertise in window and construction material technologies and installation know-how, KCC will develop training programs specifically tailored for field operations. The education will combine theory and hands-on practice, focusing on strengthening practical installation capabilities required on site. The window training covers product structure and performance, theoretical guidelines for processing, and is followed by practical sessions in the processing lab where trainees practice key tasks such as window installation, horizontal and vertical adjustment, shim installation, and foam filling.

A KCC representative stated, "By leveraging the technology and installation expertise that KCC has accumulated in the field of windows and construction materials, we will enhance the effectiveness of our training and continue to work closely with the Korea Energy Foundation to help create more comfortable and efficient residential environments for the energy-vulnerable population."
