Abstract The carbon emitted from buildings accounts for a high proportion of the country's total carbon emissions, accounting for about 33%. Accordingly, eco-friendly construction is becoming an important social issue to reduce energy consumption in the building and construction industry. In addition, according to the National Statistical Office, Korea's 65-year-old population will increase by 1.7% compared to 2022, and by the end of 2024, it will reach 9.7 million, which is on the verge of entering a super-aged society. In a rapidly progressing super-aged society, the demand for nursing hospitals is increasing, and nursing hospital patients with poor daily performance require nursing personnel, but the number of nursing personnel working in nursing hospitals is decreasing due to hard work and working environment. This study planned a Kinetic Facade optimized for nursing hospitals to reduce the cooling and heating load of buildings by utilizing Kinetic Facade, and to provide certain illumination to elderly patients while automatically controlling important light environmental factors in the medical environment.
