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