Examination of the Optimal Shape of Solar Space in Semi-Warm and Dry Climates of Kashan

One way to reach a building with higher energy efficiency is to use solar renewable energy, used to enhance the thermal performance of the building. The study examined the shape of the solar space in the heating load of the housing attached to this space in four rectangular cubes, ۳۰, ۴۵, and ۶۰-degree angles for reaching the optimal shape of this element to reduce the heating load of cold days, and minimal imposition of excess cooling load in summer by Design Builder and Energy Plus software using the descriptive -analytical method and then analyzed the results. Ultimately, the solar sapces with same and specific materials in climate zone of Kashan city with an angle of ۶۰ degrees is the optimal model among the models examined has been determined as the optimal form in reducing the heating load in winter and the minimum cooling load in summer at the same time.
