A Study on the Sustainable Approaches for the Building Renovation in the Subtropical Region: taking Kaohsiung City Hall as a demonstration project on the Energy-saving and Occupant-healthy Benefits.

Sustainable Development is a worldwide trend that analyzed from the lately international conference. It is in search of a system that can provide comprehensive performance on the environment-oriented, energy-saving and occupant-healthy approaches. Kaohsiung City Government is following this trend. This paper represents a demonstration project to renovate the Kaohsiung City Hall instead of the sustainable concepts that assembling the "outer shading devices" for saving the HVAC power and the energy consumption. The performances of these devices will be addressed, and the occupants' health will also be considered. The renovation project adopts the POE (post-occupancy evaluation) method. These field-measurement results for the determination of the equipment capacities will be examined via the quantitative assessment. After renewal, it will demonstrate the quantitative assessment with the field-measurement results. Proposed a standard procedure, harmonized with practical state, is especially for the renovation of the existing building in the subtropical region.
