How the relationship between the mass and the space of high-rise buildings in residential complexes, as an effective factor in the architectural design of urban spaces, can have a significant impact on climate changes in micro-climates. In this regard, one of the dangers that can be related to the physical arrangement of high-rise buildings is the formation of urban heat islands. This phenomenon has adverse effects on people's health and thermal comfort, as well as excessive energy consumption. Therefore, one of the big challenges of architects, urban and landscape designers is how to plan to reduce the effects of urban heat islands. This research was carried out with the aim of simulating and proving the relationship between the physical arrangement of the architecture of high-rise buildings in residential complexes and reducing the adverse effects of urban heat islands by means of the Dragonfly plugin, in order to extract the optimal pattern. This simulation is based on the meteorological statistics of the country for the 9th day of July 2022 as the hottest day of the year. Individual, environmental, combined and row types were investigated as four types of architectural physical arrangement in Tehran city and the temperature degree of urban and rural heat islands of each type was determined at the specified time. The results showed that among the four examined types, the arrangement of blocks individually is the most optimal type of arrangement, which reduces the intensity of the adverse effects of urban heat islands and, as a result, reduces the excessive consumption of fossil (non-renewable) energies and increasing the efficiency of using renewable energy helps.
