21世紀以來，全球暖化、能源枯竭等問題已成為科學家、建築學家等的重要課題，面對現今的建築設計，時常需要仰賴大量的機械設備才能讓使用者達到舒適的環境感受，卻造成自然環境的負擔及惡化，然而過去部分傳統建築卻能夠面對當地濕熱的氣候，達到良好的誘導式熱環境控制，因此本研究透過現代環境測量技術，藉以了解台灣傳統民居在使用空間上與外在環境氣候之關係，並使用電腦數值模擬軟體（Ecotect）還原並量化分析台北林安泰古厝過去的室內熱環境及光環境，再將計算結果與其空間配置、開口及外殼等進行綜合分析，並以現今對居住品質的標準，評估其環境條件下的採光效能及使用者的熱舒適感受。模擬結果部分顯示，各空間之室內溫度變化較室外溫度平緩，且正廳右方的空間（西北側）室內溫度普遍較左方的空間（東南側）高，距離內埕天井較遠的空間所出現的最高溫普遍較距離近的高，護龍上的空間又以靠外側的空間溫度較中間高，可看出空間位置與室內溫度的關係密切；人體熱舒適度方面，模擬結果顯示夏季時以正廳左方的空間（東南側）PMV值普遍較右方的空間（西北側）高，冬季則是以角落邊間位置之空間舒適度感覺較其他內側隔間冷，評估結果與空間的倫理次序較無明顯之關係；在光環境的評價方面，以地位最高的正廳空間及外側左戶龍上的餐廳空間各方面採光條件較佳，其餘空間皆有照度不足及分佈不均之情形，需另設置人工光源以符合其使用機能，空間採光優劣未隱喻至各空間之倫理次序。
Since the 21st century, problems such as global warming and energy depletion have become important issues to scientists and architects. The architectural design nowadays often relies on large amount of mechanical equipment to create a comfortable environment for the users. However, it burdens and deteriorates the nature. On the other hand, some of the traditional architecture in the past can cope with the local humid and hot climate, achieving good passive heat control for the environment. Therefore, this study explores the relation between traditional residents in Taiwan's use of space and the external environment and climate through modern environment measurement technique, restores and conduct quantitative analysis on the interior thermal environment and light environment of Lin An Tai Historical House in the past through Ecotect Analysis, and analyzes the results of the calculation in terms of its spatial allocation, openings, and outer walls, etc. This study also evaluates the effects of lighting and user's sense of comfortable temperature under its environmental conditions according to the standards of residential quality nowadays. Part of the results of the simulation show that the variation of temperature indoors in each space is less dynamic than that of outdoors. The temperature in the space at the right of the main hall (northwestern side) is generally higher than that in the left (southeastern side). The highest temperature in the space farther away from the interior patio is usually higher than that in the space closer to the interior patio. The temperature near the outer side of the space above Hulong is higher than that in the middle. Accordingly, the location is closely related to the interior temperature. As to human's sense of comfortable temperature, the results show that in summer, the PMV in the space at the left of the main hall (southeastern side) is generally higher than that in the right (northwestern side). In winter, the sense of comfortable temperature in the rooms in the corner is lower than that in other rooms at the inner side. For the evaluation of lighting, the main hall and the restaurant at the outer left Hulong have better lighting while other space does not have sufficient and even lighting. Artificial lighting is needed to make the space more functional.
