| Abstract |
The Environment pollution is very important problem. Even at the field of architecture, a study about method of energy saving and constructing environment friendly building will have performed with activity. But trends of Korea housing market are changed that the height of building become more higher and the level of comfort going up. Therefore, these requirements force to increase the energy usage for indoor environmental controls. Thus, this study aims at reducing the heating and cooling energy requirements of high-rise residential complex using Twin Skin facade and Hollow Core. Based on ESP-r simulation, the alternatives of facade design compare to the conventional facade design. The alternatives is as following. 1) Basecase(expanded balcony), 2) Expanded balcony + Hollow Core, 3) Double facade, 4)Double facade + Hollow Core. The results of the simulation show that the facade using Hollow Core could reduce 26.4% of heating and cooling energy, the Twin Skin facade could reduce 94.5% of heating and cooling energy and the facade using Hollow Core and Twin Skin could reduce 97.0% of heating and cooling energy compared to conventional facade design. |
