Abstract

Paying attention to the ways for reduce consumption is necessary due to pollution caused by fossil fuels and its consequences. Climate design is one of the solutions used by natural resources to supply the energy needed for the building and it will reduce the need for fossil fuels. The angles that the buildings have toward the north-south axis, they make a difference in the amount of energy received. The following results were obtained after examining the amount of energy for five samples studied. Nassaji Town (3.48 degrees deviation to the north east-south west) has the most suitable buildings in terms of orientation and optimal energy reception, After that, The old part of Koochaksara, Nikan Town, Farhangshahr Town and finally the second part of Nassaji Town (39.17 degrees deviation to the north west-south east). In general, According to the results of this research, it is about five degrees of deviation from the south toward east and west are an ideal direction for building construction and the direction of the building in the city of Qaemshahr. This orientation is considered as a suitable direction because it receives maximum energy during the cold month of the year and conversed, it receive at least the energy during the warm months of the year.
