Abstract: (148 Views) |
| The energy consumption of buildings is a large part of the total energy consumption of the world. Cold climates can have a bigger challenge in increasing energy efficiency in buildings. The review was conducted on energy consumption optimization solutions based on Köppen-Geiger climatic zoning, sustainable development, and environmental conditions in cold climate architecture. The most decisive criterion for cooling and heating energy consumption of the building is providing comfort conditions with temperature and humidity criteria. Based on the findings, knowledge of climatic indicators is necessary for architectural design. Understanding the characteristics of factors such as sunlight, temperature and humidity have a direct impact on determining building orientation, size, direction of openings, and type and quality of materials inside and outside the building. The most appropriate way to identify passive methods in providing thermal comfort conditions and efficiency of each one is to pay attention to different areas of the psychrometric chart of that particular climate. Effective factors in building energy consumption in cold climates are classified into two groups: human factors and technical factors. Taking advantage of new technologies in the building envelope, efficient building service systems, human activities through the use and proper maintenance and new business models to improve the performance of the building as well as the use of clean energy such as solar energy can significantly optimize energy consumption in cold climate buildings. Exhaust air heat pumps in a balanced ventilation system, use the exhaust air as a heat source for domestic hot water, air supply and space heating. In buildings equipped with web-based Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) operating systems, an online remote control is possible. It is suggested to carry out sufficient studies to identify and apply indigenous technologies of renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and new materials in the management of building energy consumption based on Iran's climate. |
