COMPATIBILITY OF THE PASSIVE URBAN DESIGN IN CONTEXT OF THE MICRO SCALE FOR COLD CLIMATE CASE STUDY ARDABIL CITY

Abstract

In this paper, in order to ensure the comfort of the building, the solar passive urban form design (model) is presented using the energy consumption analyses method for the cold climate of Ardabil city. The importance of applying structural models and related costs has made it more sensitive to the use of software methods and models. The main reason for this sensitivity is the ability to understand the emotional and conceptual differences and concepts of comfort components from the perspective of experts from different fields and individuals with different geographic and cultural characteristics. Most of the previous design methods, relative to the climatic characteristics of the city, the general approach, the comfort components, did not actually play a very role in the design and structure. In other words, due to the comfort (thermal, refrigeration, ventilation and others) was considered a post-construction category, so it was not necessary to consider the pre-construction, evaluation of the quality of the operation and the manner in which comfort was experienced (operating period) and energy consumption. However, the proposed strategy of non-active solar micro urban form, with support of HEED software and the use of “the Climate Consultant” plugin as a complementary micro-climatic features, discover several factors: of defining the future comfortable conditions, for the building structure the smart planning of architectural components as a size or position of openings, materials specification: predictable operation for designers. The proposed model makes use of energy standards with real time comparing of energy consumption in the residential area and in fact in certain city zoning. The amount of consumption load as well as the cost-effectiveness of the energy indicate opportunity to saving energy in proposed project, before the construction begin. The achievement of the present report, based on descriptive analytic is The Solar Passive House Design (with 2 Energy Saving Patterns), which is introduced as a final result.
