Abstract :

Background & Objective: Climate indicates the interaction of some elements such as radiation, temperature and humidity, wind and rainfall on the architecture of the buildings. The result of these effects is a change in the form, organization of spaces and the proportions that govern the overall interior spaces of buildings and constructs. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the importance and impact of four climatic parameters of radiation, precipitation, temperature and humidity on the construction of four buildings: Silo Building, triangular faculty, preparatory Teacher-training School and former Shapoor High School, which was built during the Pahlavi period in Ahvaz.

Material and Methodology: In terms of purpose, this research is applied and it is descriptive in terms of methodology. Research data was collected based on a questionnaire and Cronbach's method was used to evaluate its reliability. Sampling was based on snowball method and 31 experts were selected as samples. This research was conducted in 2020 and data analysis was performed using SPSS software, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, sign test and CODAS technique.

Findings: After preparing the polymer layer, the morphology and diameter of the nanofibers were determined by scanning electron microscopy and the average diameter of the nanofibers prepared under optimal conditions was 80 nm. Examination of the antimicrobial activity of this coating showed that this structure shows a significant antimicrobial effect on bacteria, so that the highest antimicrobial effect was observed on the gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes with a growth inhibition zone diameter of 14 mm.

Discussion and conclusion: The creativity of using climatic parameters in the architecture of historic buildings and taking into account the environmental conditions and design features and the characteristics of the materials used in these buildings are important factors in recognizing the traditional Iranian architecture as a complete manifestation of harmonious architecture or climate. On the other

hand, today, climate changes are the result of the interaction of complex and less known factors that affect the sustainability of architecture. In the regards, no building can be constructed without considering the principles and foundations of statics and the resistance of buildings and climate in the sustainable architecture physically. The transformation of these factors has led to numerous environmental problems, all of which have resulted from the neglectance of changing space, time, and energy as influential resources; it has ultimately led to instability in the architecture of buildings.
