博士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 建築系 === 107 === Over the past ten years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. Some research concludes that in most subtropical and tropical countries, achieving thermal comfort without the use of air conditioning is becoming difficult due to poor building designs and global warming. Climate adaptation strategies are necessary at housing. Energy consumption in the household sector is governed by various factors including the building envelope characteristics and consumer behavior. Using extensive parametric energy simulations by DesignBuilder, this study investigates the impact of building envelope characteristics and consumer behavior of residential building in two climates context: Taipei (Sub-tropical), Jakarta, Semarang, and Surakarta (Tropical). With the current computer revolution, processing exhaustive analysis and multi disciplinary advanced simulation is no longer a time consuming task. The available computation power can be used to provide multi-level data analysis and visualization that simplify the understanding of building’s behavior under different conditions. Some developed countries apply building codes and appliance standards to reduce total energy demand for buildings. However, the Green Building Label can confuse occupants, since it can be an overwhelming task to understand what each classification means. Several household energy conservation regulations above have been issued by government, and these policies are designed based on a generalized perspective rather than specified to fit local characteristics. This research has extended to user influence and local culture. Both will directly effect to building’s floor plan. In order to improve existing energy conservation strategies, a detailed information of user behavior is needed. In this research TUS (Time Use Survey) has record the information on an individual’s activities during a 24-hour period. This data is completed with personal information such as the individual’s occupation and demographic background. User behaviour with detail information will improve the building design. This research analyzes various residential building design from an energy efficiency and savings perspective. Improvements to building envelope elements are generally referred as passive energy efficiency strategies. Passive energy efficiency strategies are highly sensitive to meteorological factors and, therefore, require a broader understanding of the climatic factors by a designer. The finding of this research will significantly increase awareness among architects, designers, and users, who are willing to make the best energy saving decisions from the early planning and design stages. The findings presented might have a global impact by decreasing the energy consumption in sub tropical and tropical climate, which will gradually lead to highly energy efficient buildings and sustainable city development. Architectural design guidelines would help architects and owner achieve a better understanding of the applicability of various concepts to their specific building projects.
