Abstract :
Undoubtedly, the flourishing and growth of the industrial and economic systems of developed countries should be attributed to the correct understanding of the concepts of "development" and "research" and the recognition of the logical and planned relationship between the two.
The role of the construction industry in the reconstruction and economic and social development of Iran is undeniable, and achieving the goals of part of the country's development depends only on a systemic approach and efforts to save economies on a large scale. In this regard, climate design, which emphasizes the climatic characteristics of different regions and their impact on the formation of buildings and residential environments, on the one hand, has increased the quality of comfort of indoor spaces and on the other hand relying on non-fossil fuels. And reducing fossil energy consumption plays a significant role in preventing greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting natural hazards.
The study aims to examine, in an analytical manner, based on documentary studies, the effective features of climate design on thermal comfort and energy consumption reduction. In this regard, and considering the extent and diversity of climate in Iran and according to the available resources, the focus is on the hot and dry climate group.
The results of the present study show that climate design strategies can play a significant role in providing thermal comfort in the architectural space and reducing energy consumption and the risks posed by the current consumption of fossil fuels.
