Highlights:

  • Rasoulian House (in Yazd) was simulated in DesignBuilder Software
  • The simulation results were compared with experimental measurement data
  • The results showed that experimental data were 1–5°C different from the simulations
  • Probable causes of these differences were analyzed and suggestions were proposed

Highlights:

  • In this paper we tried to propose simplified formulas and rules of thumbs which assist designers to estimate the seismic behavior of buildings according to the initial spatial layout.
  • In masonry buildings which loads are distributed by curved masonry roofs and load bearing walls the interrelation between spatial layout and seismic behavior of building is maximum.
  • We proposed methods that assist designers to estimate the seismic vulnerability of each special unit due to its spatial functionality and related roofing system
  • We proposed methods estimating the influence of adjacency of units on seismic vulnerability of spatial units.
  • We proposed simplified formulas to estimate the magnitude and distribution form of lateral load on each load bearing wall.

Highlights:

  • In southern classrooms, perception of high level of reflected glare decreased the students’ satisfaction with daylighting.
  • In southern classrooms, perception of high level of direct glare didn’t lower the students’ satisfaction with daylighting.
  • In northern classrooms, perception of unified daylight had strong and positive correlation with satisfaction with daylighting.
  • In southern classrooms, the mean vote of satisfaction with daylighting was higher than northern classrooms.

Highlights:

•    Mosques have been always places for communication across Iranian cities.
•    The Quality of local Mosques is the necessary element for social relations and face-to-face communication of residents in Tehran’s neighborhoods.
•    Formation of physical selective factors is in direct relationship with quality of local Mosques.  
•    Physical factors are affective in the social solidarity, sense of belonging and sense of religious affiliations of people.
