Solar Radiation and Orientation of Buildings: Case of Residential Buildings in Isfahan

Climatic conditions have a significant impact on the energy consumption of  buildings. Also check the angle of the solar radiation on buildings and controlling the amount of heat absorbed on building shell during the year have significant impact on building energy efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of orientation of the building on the energy consumption and to this...
