Abstract
This study is focused on the effect of thermal load according to the various plan types in tower-type apartment in Korea. So, we chose the '』' type model in order to analyze the shading effect of the plan type. The main results are as follows. In chosen model, cooling energy demands are more sensitive than heating ones when is compared with the two methods. And there are about 10% deviations between new and conventional method. Because new method considers more detailed than conventional one about the building geometries. We also found that this building type affects to the about 3 floors from the top and it doesn't affect to the thermal load in lower floors. From these facts, we suggest new modeling method to the similar researches that will be analyzed the thermal load on the tower type apartment in Korea. Also there is no difference of the thermal load in each azimuth between simple and detailed modeling method. Consequently, we judge that this new method considered the shading effect will be used a lot to the similar analysis in tower type apartment in Korea.
