Summary

As the global warming has been accelerated, many countries make efforts to expand the use of renewable energy and improve energy efficiency. The energy consumption in building takes over around 30~40% in many countries. The energy reduction of building is very urgent for the global energy efficiency. As these efforts, "low energy houses", "passive houses", "zero-energy houses", and "energy-plus houses" have been researched and constructed in the field of architecture. The Korean government has also planned to build passive houses in 2017, zero energy houses in 2025 for all new residences.Even there is no standard for Passive House in Korea though, the criteria of insulation are weaker than the Passive Houses.On this study, domestic and Passive House regulation were compared. Base on the comparison, the analysis of the thermal loads was performed by VE (Virtual Environment) simulation tool through application of Passive House regulation into Korean standard model. The purpose of this paper is to develop the insulation standard in Korea to achieve the goals of passive house as adata base.
