| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 圖書資訊學系 === 90 === The environmental planning of library has direct effects on librarians and users. The green building concept is not simply about growing plants but also our environmental protection and healthy building design. After reviewing library literature, it is found that much has been written on library architecture planning, interior space design, barrier-free environment, the problem of noise, the impact of information technology on library building and intelligent building. However the literature about library and environment protection is scare. It is very important to introduce the green building concept to the library field. Therefore, the purpose of the study is as follows:
1. To understand the definition of green building and the status of green building development in Taiwan and other countries;
2. To use case studies of green libraries to explore the possibilities of applying green building concepts in libraries;
3. To understand the views about green library from architects and librarians.
Literature review and personal interviews were used as research methods to collect data for this study. The results of the study reveal that library is very suitable for green architecture design. Sustainable design means doing the most with the least means. Longevity is a good thing. If a building can be long-lasting and energy-efficient, that is even better. Form interviewing with librarians and architects, the features of a green library should include: integration of green building concepts with library planning; energy-efficient; environmental greening and protection.
Some suggestions have been raised in the study:
1. To the library field
(a) need interdisciplinary integration of library and architecture fields;
(b) revise library building standards;
(c) enhance librarians’ knowledge of architecture;
(d) promote green building concepts to the library field.
2. To the architecture field
(a) establish the green building society;
(b) improve the knowledge of library functions.
