Demand Evaluation and a Design Approach Transforming Duplex Housing into Green Building

Abstract:

Promoting green building has become an important policy goal in Taiwan. This paper explores the possibilities of transforming a regular duplex housing unit into a green building. Through an examination of residents’ demand of a selected housing community in Tainan, Taiwan, the demand of green building facilities and services by actual users was identified. This was followed by a design approach which applies several selected green building technologies based on the demand of residents and local environmental characteristics. The result shows that multi-dimensional goals of transforming existing housing into a green building can be obtained through a well-planned design approach which better understands the demand of residents.
