With energy resource scarcity and energy crisis in the world, energy efficiency has become a subject of great importance. In warm and humid climates as well as cold and mountainous ones, annual energy consumption is too high to achieve desirable living conditions in built environments, and hence energy efficiency measures and practices in such buildings is of utmost priority. Given the direct r...

Building information modeling can help in predicting the energy efficiency in future based on dynamic patterns obtained by visualization of data. The aim of this study was to investigate the effective parameters of energy consumption using BIM technology which can evaluate the buildings energy performance. First, three forms of general states in the building were modeled to evaluate the propose...

in this paper the traditional covering plaster of masonry buildings is supplied with polypropylene and steel fiber to enhance their seismic behavior. the plaster mix proportion is determined by some initial mortar tests. also, one story, single span masonry building specimen plastered with different mortars is tested on a shaking table 8 times under a seismic input and the performance of the sp...

this present research work was carried out to evaluate the energy consumption in a typical iranian building based on the forecast of climatic variables. thus, the lars-wg model was validated for some northwest stations of iran, including tabriz, ardebil, oromieh, kermanshah, hamedan, sannandaj, qazvin, and zanjan. the average monthly outdoor temperature was forecasted from 2011 to 2100. the rel...

undoubtly it can be said that climate and how weather conditions effect on building shape including limited architecture elements which has been noticed at the beginning of making shelter by human beings and the principle of this need has not been changed by passing time and changing the styles and movements and definitions of art and beauty and changing needs and attitudes and expanding archit...

indoor air quality is a general concept that specifies to air quality of buildings and is related to health and relaxation in there. this index contains removal of all contaminants for example microbial, gas types, particles, etc., and suggests remedial approaches toward refreshing the building air and air circulation in these constructions. in this article we study indoor air quality index (ia...

Industrialization and increasing demand for the consumption of fossil fuels cause that energy becomes a strategic factor. Energy crisis and the emergence of modern architecture led designers to pay more attention to the important task of building's envelope. Building skins play an important role in building thermal behavior and reduce energy consumption. If Double Skin Facades properly designed...

Due to low energy price, economic optimization of consumption has no justification for users in Iran. Nowadays, the issue of ending fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gases and the main role of building in consumption of considerable amount of energy has drawn the focus of global researches to a new concept called net zero energy building. In this study, modeling, simulation and energy anal...
