Abstract: (212 Views) |
Climatic design and providing thermal comfort is one of the most important items in the design and architecture of buildings. The present study emphasizes the role of the building shell in controlling the amount of light and energy received from the sun. Also, reducing the energy consumption of the building examines the thermal and lighting performance of an office building in the climate of Tehran. The purpose of this study is the proper use of sunlight and the use of natural light in office buildings in order to improve the quantitative and qualitative efficiency of daylight in the design phase. To achieve this goal, the amount of light and energy received from four models of the single-shell facade, two-shell all-glass facade, two-shell with canopy and Kinetic facade has been calculated and the obtained values have been compared comparatively with each other in order to determine the most suitable view in order to optimize energy consumption. The method used in this research is quantitative with the use of simulation and modelling. The software used for shell modelling is Rhino software and Grace Hopper plugin and for climate analysis, Diva plugin and eQUEST. The operation was carried out on the shell of the southern front of the study building. Findings from studies and simulations show that the condition of the building in the case of using a single-shell facade is unfavourable in terms of thermal comfort and glare of light. While the building with a moving facade has better light performance and energy than other shells. So that the kinetic facade with the ability to reduce the amount of cooling and heating energy consumption by 33.3% compared to the single-shell facade has the most savings. The results of light glare in the studied shells also confirm the better performance of the kinetic shell than other shells. Therefore, in a general conclusion, it can be stated that: Utilizing the intelligent design and combining it with climate design can be a good way to optimize energy consumption in different climates. |
