Abstract:
This study focuses on window patterns of Hanok, Korean traditional residence, and their effects on building performance and adaptabilities as building skins. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of Hanok patterns as a new type of building façade that satisfy both aesthetic and the efficiency of building space, and to suggest a new method based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for optimizing the building performance. For this research, a variety of Korean traditional window patterns were reviewed first, and a typical façade was applied for a comparative analysis in aspect of the effect on the building indoor environment. In addition, this study examines selected façade patterns that could minimize heat loss and make it easy to adjust indoor light environment by changing the intervals. ICT has played an important role as both a controller for the spatial environment and a simulator for evaluating various experimental factors; Wireless Smart Sensor Network (WSSN) and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) have been utilized for adjusting configuration of the opening patterns, and popular simulation tools like Project Vasari and Green Building Studio (GBS) have been used for verification of the feasibility, investigating relationship between daylighting capability of proposed skins and their energy performance. Finally, building skins satisfying both Korean traditional identity and efficiency of energy performance are suggested and examined in this study.
