A Performance Study on Passive Solar School Buildings with Sun Space

온실형 자연형 태양열 학교교사의 성능 분석 연구

Following the oil crisis in 1979, there have been surge of movements by the government in Korea to conserve petroleum-based energy in every sector of society. One of these movements was the application of passive solar technologies into the construction of school buildings. Various passive designs are developed paying special regard to architectural and climatic factors. This paper is related to the application of the passive solar technology to elementary school buildings. It is proposed to place the hallway on the south side of the building to improve the thermal performance as well as indoor lighting effects. The cases have been compared with those of the existing school buildings where substantial improvements are noted. Finally, standard drawings are prepared in detail to promote the application of this passive solar technology in practical school building.
