Simulation and Optimization of High-Rise Residential Clusters and Daylighting Environment: Focus on the Busan Coastal Region

Abstract:

This study evaluated the daylighting performance of high-rise residential buildings in Busan's coastal area and explored sustainable development issues. The Ecotect simulation software was used to assess three types of building clusters. The results showed that building orientation and facade design should be considered to maximize daylighting efficiency. The study proposed several sustainable development strategies for different building modes, including optimizing facades, using optical glass, adopting passive solar energy design, and adjusting building cluster layouts. These strategies can improve building energy efficiency and achieve sustainable development goals. This study provides valuable reference for high-rise residential building design and construction in Busan's coastal area and offers inspiration for sustainable development research in similar regions.
