Overview

Research examines the optimization of traditional architectural elements for energy efficiency in hot climates, suggesting significant improvements.

Key Points

  • This research aims to revisit and apply the optimized features of the Fakhr-o-Madin element in contemporary residential architecture in hot and dry climates.
  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining documentary and field studies.
  • Implemented descriptive-analytical analysis and computational simulations in Rhino/Grasshopper.
  • Assessed climatic conditions and sunlight exposure in Kashan for standard room dimensions.
  • Geometry and ratio of the Fakhr-o-Madin element significantly influence light intensity and quality.
  • Optimal design for the southern facade enhances winter light control.
  • The hexagonal pattern was the least efficient, while 'Combined Geometry 2' showed superior performance.
