The sustainable school project promotes environmental responsibility and a green lifestyle. An EIA method was used to find the best placement by considering factors like slope, greenness, sunlight, shading, wind patterns, and noise pollution. The site’s steep slope presented challenges in the design, but scattered buildings were considered to make the best use of it.

The design incorporated a semi-open middle joint space to address the site’s slope and the moderate northern wind. This space, designed to allow for natural light and wind flow while protecting from harsh winds, creates a unique architectural feature and serves as a great connector between the school’s main buildings.

Horizontal shades with an estimated size of 70 cm were included on the southern facade to protect the classrooms from excessive solar gain and glare.

Cross ventilation was incorporated into the design of the classrooms through the use of hidden vent valves in the facade.

Buildings on the site’s western side are strategically positioned to minimize wind disturbance to the main structures. Wind containment green walls are also incorporated on this facade.

The site’s southeast corner features a combination of trees and a water pond to provide a cooling effect for the hot southeast air.

The central area of the buildings includes semi-open spaces, allowing for the favorable north wind to enter and circulate throughout the space.

Sustainable design strategies were implemented throughout the design process, including the calculation of SDA (Spatial Daylight Autonomy), ASE (Annual Solar Exposure), and UDI (Unified Daylight Index) for the main zones, such as classrooms. These calculations were used to optimize daylighting and minimize glare. The UDI for the cooking class was calculated to be 94%, indicating a high level of daylighting for that space.

The north-facing yard is designed to maximize thermal comfort by incorporating lush vegetation. Mechanical ventilation systems are incorporated into waste management to eliminate unpleasant odors. The line-up area is strategically located in the south to provide comfort during morning hours. A sunken courtyard in the eastern-south area is incorporated to provide cooling, and a water feature is added to increase humidity. The design incorporates a farm, a store for farm products, and a waste management park to foster a sense of responsibility among students.

The passive house is located on a site with a 12% slope to the north in a mountain climate. The site’s slope is incorporated into the design, and the house is situated partially underground in order to take advantage of the thermal mass of the soil in different seasons.

The placement of the building on the site has been determined based on overlaying various factors. The volume of the house is compact, flat, without protuberances, and oriented east-west according to the climate.

The primary living areas are situated on the southern facade to receive more solar radiation.

Earth-Shelter

The passive house design incorporates multiple strategies for energy efficiency, including the use of more giant windows on the southern façade for maximum solar gain, smaller windows on the eastern face to minimize heat gain, deciduous trees for shading, earth-sheltering to utilize the thermal mass of the earth, an east-west orientation to optimize solar gain, and a compact volume to reduce exterior surface area and materials used. These strategies work together to create a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment.

Height Control

This design incorporates several strategies for optimizing the performance of a passive solar greenhouse. By calculating the angle of the glazing surface and selecting the appropriate thermal mass in the floors, the greenhouse is able to store and transfer solar energy to indoor spaces effectively.

Additionally, the use of north wall insulation with a footing planted into the ground, a thermal curtain system, and ventilation equipment (covering at least 30% of the glazing) contribute to the efficiency of the greenhouse in trapping and distributing heat.

Vertical Fins (West Window)

Uncontrolled spaces are located adjacent to the north walls to act as a filter for the areas that need heating. Filtered space was designed in the main entrance to avoid annoying and cold winds entering the house from the north.

Location

This project presents an innovative approach to urban design, developed in alignment with the Tehran University development plan. It entails the transformation of existing blocks to create a sustainable, green neighborhood with new and improved uses, as well as the design of communal gathering spaces. This project aims to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors while promoting sustainable solutions and community-building.

The site location of this project was rated using the LEED-ND system in the pre-design stage, focusing on researching and assessing the existing area before design.

The design of this urban project incorporates the innovative woonerf concept for the streets and neighborhood. Through extensive research and analysis, micro and macro goals were established and implemented through a series of policies and actions. The result is a cohesive and livable community that prioritizes the needs of pedestrians and encourages a sense of community among residents.

The project also utilizes Tactical urbanism methodologies, which have been used to create a children’s play area through the strategic placement of urban furniture, to promote community building and social interaction.

The design of this neighborhood focuses on creating a cohesive and livable community through increasing permeability and providing multiple access points to central areas and communal spaces such as parks. The woonerf concept is implemented, prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle use to create a safe and comfortable environment for walking and socializing. The design of streets slows down traffic and encourages shared use, promoting pedestrian safety. Unique and exciting communal spaces, such as tents and wooden structures in parks, are also incorporated to add visual interest and provide shelter semi-open gathering spaces to foster community and privacy. The project incorporates the concept of sustainability by using permeable surfaces and green infrastructure, such as vegetated roofs and rain gardens, which help to manage stormwater and improve air quality. The neighborhood association and center for social justice also play a crucial role in promoting sustainable living by fostering a sense of community and promoting equitable access to resources.

The project evaluated the microclimate of a sustainable park using Envi-met simulation software, focusing on a 50x50 meter rectangle. Initial analysis revealed areas for improvement, so changes were made, such as adding a water feature, modifying tree crowns, implementing a green roof, and using permeable material for the crossing. The project also examined the potential for incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels, which could provide a significant portion of the park’s energy needs.

Optimization of Urban Microclimate

The project used skydome analysis to inform the design of a new development, evaluating sky conditions such as solar radiation and sky cover. It helped design parks and open spaces. By strategically placing trees and vegetation, shaded areas were created to optimize energy efficiency. The goal was to make informed decisions about building design, urban layout, open spaces, and overall energy efficiency.

The project evaluated water and energy consumption in the park, aiming to minimize usage while maintaining optimal microclimate conditions.

Utilized Ladybug to analyze sunlight and solar radiation on proposed buildings and open spaces to identify shading issues and optimize energy efficiency and human comfort. The study evaluated the impact of vegetation and water on thermal comfort and aimed to reduce thermal islands through park design in open areas.

External CFD Analysis

CFD analysis played a crucial role in the design process, providing insights into the wind and temperature patterns around the buildings. This information was used to optimize building height and the strategic use of open spaces to enhance flow circulation, contributing to the overall sustainability and comfort of the development.
