| Abstract |
Introduction of alternative energy is needed urgently in domestic energy market, where the dependence on foreign countries is too high. The possibility of Korea to be included in Kyoto protocol will be increasing after 2013. Therefore introduction of alternative energy is needed immediately at this point in time, and it seems that photovoltaic energy is the most adequate alterative energy for the circumstance of Korea. Buildings are one of the most biggest energy consumer compare with other energy consumptive factors. More than a half of domestic residences are living in apartments and the exterior dimensions of apartments are large, so these points of view make possible to introduce the photovoltaic energy into Korea. Furthermore, many kinds of tower type apartments are building in Korea. Therefore, to research the possibility of photovoltaic energy utilization, investigating about tower and flat type of apartment is indispensable element. |
