Application of Traditional Water Structures as Passive Energy Systems Case: Shushtar Kats

摘要: Regional historic architecture in each country contains many positive aspects that may be suitable for developing patterns new technologies. Vernacular around the world; considers methods creating better living conditions and welfare measures. Although it some difficulties covering information from past, vernacular is a possible means achieving sustainable architecture. In Iran, shows creativity using natural energy. Among them, specialized structures known as Kats Dezfol Shushtar south-western have been developed certain conditions. The purpose of this paper to estimate amount air flow created between interior exterior spaces due temperature variation by exactly measuring 10 evidence points temperatures an electronic thermometer . results research show Kat summer less than average maximum minimum outdoor, thermal condition space during measurement lower comfort limit which specified ashrae standard. By adding moisture Dez River moist walls flow, cool habitable within traditional homes reduce fossil fuel usage preserve environment. paper, passive energy systems are introduced cooling modern urban with criteria.
