Abstract: (24 Views)
Aims: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of the form of large-scale office buildings in Tehran and to achieve an optimal shape of the form to provide annual thermal and visual comfort in accordance with the 4th edition of the 19th Topic.
Methods: This is an applied research of the theory-building type, which has investigated the relationship between form geometry and sDA, DGP and PMV variables in order to achieve the goals. The research method is descriptive-analytical, after extracting the library, the primary data has been validated in the field, and it has been modeled and simulated with DesignBuilder software and Honeybee plugin in Grasshopper. Also, the analysis of the data obtained from the simulation has been done with interpretation and comparison.
Findings: The rectangular form with two central courtyards has the best status in PMV index and the worst in terms of DGP. The proposed subspecies of the mentioned form with a ratio of core to shell of 2:1, while maintaining the conditions of PMV, was able to be placed in the standard mode from the point of view of sDA and DGP.
Conclusion: The form of most of these buildings is not suitable for providing thermal and visual comfort conditions according to the 19th topic. Designers can use the rectangular form with the suggested core-to-shell ratio of 2:1 to meet the requirements and obtain the EC category of this subject.
