Abstract:
The sun is fundamental to all life. It is the source of our vision, our warmth, our energy, and the rhythm of our lives. Its movements inform our perceptions of time and space and our scale in the universe.
The concept of solar access is an abstraction generalized from particular observations. The natural world appears to abound with examples of arrangements based in some measure on exposure to the sun.More to the point, observations of the modern built world reveal that we have not usually followed nature's example in this regard. Our cities are non-directional. Our buildings are undifferentiated by orientation to the sun. They stand static, unresponsive to the rhythms of their surroundings.
The solar envelope is a way to assure urban solar access for both energy and quality of life.This issue at first conceived and tested by the Knowls, working with Prof. Richard D. Berry at the University of Southern California (USC), the solar envelope regulates development within imaginary boundaries derived from the sun's relative motion. Buildings within this container will not overshadow their surroundings during critical periods of the day and year. Twentyfive years of design research in the USC Solar Studio have shown that, if generally applied as an instrument of zoning, the solar envelope will not only allow potential growth but will open new aesthetic possibilities for architecture and urban design.
following to the upon explanations, in order to reaching to the best form in terms of daylighting and consuming energy, actions were taken in to generate solar envelope on the considered site by using climatic data and computer’s software and in the end due to the envelope’s height and form number of alternatives were proposed.
As a result, after a comparative studying among the alternatives in terms of receiving light and thermal function and related analysis done by design builder the best form were chosen which don’t have shading neither its surrounding nor itself. So it can be very useful in saving energy and play an effective role in environmental sustainability.
