Abstract

Korea has accelerated its economic development with advanced science and technology and has been ranked among the developed countries. However, resource scarcity and environmental pollution problems in the country are becoming increasingly stressful, and energy conservation and environmental protection have become important issues in Korea. The development of green building design in most kindergarten buildings is lagging, and most kindergartens do not have the green design. In this paper, we take the representative green kindergarten buildings in Korea and Japan as examples and explore and study the green ecological design of kindergarten buildings in Busan, a city surrounded by the sea on three sides of Korea. This paper proposes improvement strategies and gives guidance for the future design of kindergartens in coastal areas.
