description Since the sharing economy emerged as a new paradigm with the development of technology, the global sharing economy market has grown rapidly. In the energy sector, peer-to-peer energy trading is being conducted to share energy produced through renewable energy systems. In this study, in the situation where energy transactions among individuals are expected to expand in the future, the types of buildings and trading to secure the economics of energy trading were compared. The types of buildings were limited to residential buildings, and the economic efficiency according to energy performance was compared. Because the government has strengthened energy performance regulations, the performance varied depending on the time of construction. Therefore, building types were divided into existing houses, new houses, and zero-energy houses. The trading types were compared to the existing methods, net-metering and feed-in tariff for small-scale distributed PV systems, with P2P trading. Thus, consuming only the amount of electricity in Tier 1 and trading the rest between individuals was the most economical strategy in residential buildings to which the progressive tariff system was applied. As the performance of a building improves, the more electricity that can be traded, and the wider the range for securing economic feasibility.
