A study on Changes in Indoor Environmental Conditions of Buildings According to the Introduction Location of Water spaces

Water spaces incorporated into buildings is becoming an integral component of eco-friendly architectural planning, as they can reduce energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. This study quantitatively analyzed the environmental effects of introducing water spaces into buildings on occupants using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results demonstrated that the introduction of water spaces of a certain scale or larger around buildings effectively regulates temperature and improves comfort levels in the living environment. In the future, water spaces are expected to function as a critical factor in architectural environmental enhancement, contributing to climate change adaptation, improved energy efficiency, and increased indoor comfort.
