Eco-Friendly Space Design
Amorepacific Group is dedicated to constructing eco-friendly buildings to achieve energy efficiency. The headquarters of Amorepacific have received top certifications such as 'Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design Green 1,' 'Building Energy Efficiency Grade 1,' and 'LEED Gold Grade.' They are designed to achieve a 37.6% energy savings compared to the predicted energy demand.
Energy Saving System of the Headquarters
Enhancing Energy Efficiency
Amorepacific headquarters effectively recycles heat energy through waste heat recovery HVAC system. In addition, we installed facilities to maximize energy efficiency, such as high-efficiency certified transformers, high-efficiency motors, and power factor correction capacitors. We used high-efficiency LED bulbs for all lighting and applied a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) system, a lighting system that automatically adjusts lighting intensity by detecting the amount of natural light available, as well as a motion sensor system, which controls lighting based on motion detection to minimize unnecessary use of electricity. The ceiling of the lobby has a skylight (glass ceiling) to allow as much natural light as possible into the building, and vertical pins installed along the curtain wall of the building block out solar radiation.
Introducing Renewable Energy
Amorepacific headquarters is equipped with a geothermal system that uses temperature of the earth, which is consistent unlike air temperature, to control heating and air conditioning systems, a solar thermal system that stores solar thermal energy and uses it as energy source, and solar panels that generates electric power from sunlight.
Resource-saving Systems at Production Sites
Osan Amore Beauty Park is a space that has received attention for its eco-friendly design. It has already secured approximately a 2.6MW solar power infrastructure on the rooftop of the logistics building and is designed for efficient energy usage to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The facility is equipped with a night-time cooling system that stores cold water overnight for daytime cooling. Natural daylight is maximized in the design, and AI lighting systems are in place to further conserve energy. Rainwater storage and purification facilities have been installed, recycling over 6,000 tons of rainwater annually for landscaping and work clothes laundering. Moreover, 30% of the water needed for the process is being reused.

During the design and construction phases, innisfree Jeju House was planned to be a greenhouse-like space where various plants can thrive indoors. We allowed plenty of external light to penetrate the interior, and some of the floor space was filled with soil, enabling plants to take root. At the same time, technical solutions were employed to create a comfortable co-existing environment for many people. Instead of replacing worn-out wooden floors and old furniture, we sanded and coated the floors and repaired the broken furniture, retaining the building's seven years of history and emphasizing the concept of resource circulation.
Amorepacific Global Headquarters 'Amore Yongsan'
Reflecting the sustainable values Amorepacific seeks, the store's design includes furniture made from 'museum crates' used for artwork transportation at the Amorepacific Museum. This delivers a strong and sustainable message at the heart of the space. Collaborations with environmentally conscious artists have led to furniture upcycled from discarded masks and units developed from food waste. The store aims to implement a sustainable retail environment by finding new uses for easily discarded materials.
