| Abstract |
Quantitative expansion of Apartment houses in recent years, coming together with the increased attention on quality of life such as view, indoor air quality and sunshine is spreading. Increased desire for view, sunshine in housing demands the increase of the window area, which causes the increase of cooling load in summer and heating load in winter. 21% of energy consumption in Korea in the building sector are being used, the government strengthen the windows' U-value standards for energy savings. However the recent surge in high-rise apartment house air conditioning in summer causes the increase of cooling load and SHGC should be considered to save energy in addition to U-value. A lower SHGC will reduce the solar load but affect residents' satisfaction of the visibility, so the appropriate SHGC while meeting the visibility of the residents is a need to apply. Therefore the purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between SHGC and residents' preferences by survey and to present guidelines. |
