Abstract

Purpose: The study analyzes office buildings and surrounding roads located in Teheran-ro, where remodeling is expected. The optimum size of office buildings is derived for each road width. It is intended to predict the energy consumption of heating and cooling loads in office buildings and to present guidelines for design that can save energy in the initial design stage for remodeling. Method: This study classified roads in Gangnam-gu with Teheran-ro at the center according to the hierarchy of roads specified in the Building Act. Cases by road width were selected according to classification and the average volume of office buildings located on the road was derived. The office building with the derived volume was simulated by changing the width of the road. Design Builder, a building energy analysis program, was selected as a simulation tool for analysis of heating and cooling loads according to road width and size. Result: When designed as the largest size in the volume allowed by the law, heating and cooling load per area are advantageous. In the initial design phase, more granular research is required by applying a variety of variables that affect energy savings.
