Abstract :

The present research aims to provide a suitable model for housing design that incorporates solar energy and the climatic and spatial elements of traditional architecture in the houses of Shiraz. This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and applied in terms of its objectives; data collection was conducted through library and field methods. In this regard, after conducting library studies, interviews were held with five experts in the field of architecture, and, following the extraction of indicators, models for contemporary housing were proposed. The study examined the architectural indicators of traditional houses, such as water usage, maximizing wind capture, utilizing light, providing cooling through shade, using green spaces, proportions and composition of architectural elements, materials, and sustainable architectural design of spaces, building orientation, and the organization of spaces. It also explored solutions for climatic and active energy architecture, including optimal orientation and form, the thermal conductivity capacity of walls, shading devices, and light-transmitting walls. Energy calculations and contemporary adaptations of these indicators—including the use of a central courtyard (atrium), creating openings above staircases, movable shading devices, fixed and porous shades, triple-layered glass with argon gas in the middle, and the use of lightweight blocks—indicate that it is possible to design climate-responsive housing. The proposed optimal models can provide maximum thermal comfort for residents and reduce energy consumption.
