Understanding and Presenting Principles of Climatic Design in the Architectural Design of Golbahar City

Abstract

Architecture and climate are two man-made and natural systems that have a strong impact on each other.<br />The current study assesses the impact of the wind and solar energy on the formation of urban tissue and<br />building blocks in order to sustain and optimize the energy consumption in Golbahar City. According to<br />the studies, Golbahar City is a blockade and the orientation of the northern-to-southern masses is to the<br />current climate of the city. But the results of the current study identify East-to-West orientation for optimal<br />climate design. That is why the buildings created in this city have high energy dissipation due to inadequate<br />design. Hence, the choice of this city is considered necessary for energy analysis. The research method was<br />quantitative in this research. Design based on literature review, field researches, climate studies and<br />photography by study instrument Ladybug for analysis was determined to complete this article's contents.<br />First, by using the weather consultant software “Climate", effects of such factors as sunlight and the wind<br />blowing from different directions and seasons have been analyzed to calculate energy consumption in a<br />building. Then by evaluating the best strategy for the two mentioned factors, the way of sustainable<br />architecture design was presented. Results were expressed in terms of different architectural design items<br />such as cover surface area, plan, exterior surface coating, heat storage material, heat dissipation, shading,<br />ventilation, double-layered heat, and materials.
