Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the eco-friendly elements of the building skin in a hot and humid region and to propose feasible eco-friendly planning elements (in Korea). Method: Categorizing external environmental factors that can affect interior space. Identifying the elements of eco-friendly architectural planning from building life cycle perspective. Visiting for field observation about 5 public libraries certificated by Taiwanese Green Building Certification System (EEWH). Characterization planning features by external environmental factors of hot and humid region’s green buildings. Result: Above all, it is extremely important to actively utilize and develope passive air conditioning design skill that can replace mechanical facility-oriented air conditioning systems in modern architecture. Because controlling daytime solar radiation and outside air access at the building skins are directly related to indoor temperature and eventually determines air conditioning system operation. Additionally, when the building can be the part of site and eco-system, it can create a greater synergistic effect by harmonizing with passive air conditioning systems. The vitality of soil and plants ultimately enhances air conditioning by improving air quality and circulation. Lastly, it was empirically confirmed that finding contribution at every stage of building life cycle can be a practicable means of defining the environmental impact of buildings.
