The buildings of foreign embassies (embassies) of different countries are considered a symbol and representative of the identity and culture of the country of origin in the host country. The design of the Iranian embassy in Canberra, Australia, with the approach of providing environmental comfort, emphasizing the use of passive systems common in the local architecture of a similar climate in Iran, is the subject of this research. On the one hand, these buildings should perform the expected diplomatic functions of such buildings, and on the other hand, they should be effective in conveying cultural messages to viewers with the language of shape and form. Based on this, this research aims to provide a suitable platform for evidence-based design by providing brief and useful knowledge of the host country and city, as well as studying its cultural, economic, social and climatic context. The research method in this research is the answer to the basic question of what form and function embassies should have by using logical reasoning and descriptive method and relying on reviews and library documents. At the same time, determining the type of environmental comfort systems for different applications has been considered so that the selected system can be simulated in a case study in the Design Builder software. The results of the eva‎luations show that the static systems used in Australia include insulation and air sealing in the exterior of the building, strengthening thermal bridges (such as openings and windows), using double-glazed windows, choosing the location of the building, and building orientation. The building has north windows, canopy, materials with high heat resistance to absorb sunlight, air conditioning systems. Creating this system in north facades makes it easy to access and receive north light. Thermal walls or grids are placed behind the windows of the central courtyard and can be combined with the water wall system, and the thermal effects of this system and how it works can be the focus of future research.
