Abstract :

The vernacular architecture of Iran consists of a meaningful combination of mass and spaces, which has found harmony with the environment under the influence of environmental, subsistence and climatic conditions; Currently, due to the energy crisis and the multiple needs of climate change, the depletion of fossil resources, the catastrophic destruction of the environment, and the exposure of valuable works of vernacular architecture to destruction, the need to record its patterns and characteristics is more and more in the center of attention. has taken Therefore, this research is looking for the physical analysis of mass and space in vernacular houses with the aim of investigating its climatic performance. Due to the fact that the cold climate is neglected in the researches, Hamadan vernacular houses as one of the cities with historical value in the Qajar to Pahlavi period were selected as the scope of the research. The research method is descriptive-analytical, which was conducted using the method of field studies and modeling in Design Builder software, and the results were analyzed based on a comparative approach and correlation test. The results show that there is an inverse and strong relationship between the indicators of the ratio of the total area to the volume and the ratio of filled to empty space to the amount of energy consumption, while there is a direct correlation between the criteria of the ratio of the opening to the side surfaces and the area of the yard to the amount of energy consumption.
