What is The thermal environment in an earth-sheltered home in Korea about?
A number o] Korea's climatological, geographical and social [eatures make earth-sheltered construction an attractive option. This paper compares the thermal per[ormance o[ an earthsheltered house (specially designed to accommodate the conditions in Korea) with the thermal performance o[ a conventional residence. The researchers conclude that, except [or the high humidity levels in the earth-sheltered house, the thermal environment o[ the earthsheltered house is superior to that o] the conventional residence. In light o] these ]indings, the authors recommend that research be aimed at improving waterproo]ing and condensation control measures in earth-sheltered houses. R~sum~--Le climat, la gkographie, et le contexte social de la Corbe rendent la construction ~ moitik sous-terre attractive. Cet article compare les rendements thermiques des habitations conventionnelles avec ceux des constructions entbrkes (spbcialement trans[ormbes pour la Corbe). L'auteur conclut que l'environnement thermique d'une habitation enterrbe est supbrieur, sat\*] dans le cas de maisons trbs humides. En conclusion, il est recommendk d'orienter la recherche dans l'amklioration des btanchkitks et sur les mesure
