Abstract

The relationship between the urban heat island and the change of the airflow before and after the apartment house which is provided as a measure to secure the residence and the energy consumption of the apartment house at a specific time are analyzed. Obtain the wind roses and average temperature of the Korea Meteorological Administration to determine the climate characteristics of the target area. After that, the energy consumption of the apartment house is analyzed by collecting and analyzing the energy consumption for cooling and heating at a specific time by utilizing the private data system of building data. The airflow change is divided into the before and after using the Ecotect analysis program. In the analysis of energy consumption of apartment houses, it was confirmed that the insulation performance of the apartment was affected by energy consumption for cooling and heating over time. The analysis of the change of the airflow by the construction of the apartment house shows that the summer and winter air low in the area, can not escape to another place and it will rise and cause that heat island phenomenon. In the future, research will be carried out to prevent the occurrence of urban heat island phenomenon in areas with low airflow.
