Offering Geometrical Pattern in the Second Shell of Building Improvement of Solar Energy Performance

Currently, Iran is faced with the consumption of energy for over 1.3% in the building sector and, considering the issue, the importance of designing buildings with optimal use of energy is felt more than ever before. Moreover, due to the fact that the cities have become denser and buildings have become taller, the vertical surfaces of the façade are increased in proportion to the underneath surfaces. Thus, the vertical walls of the building have the highest capacity for use of solar energy in the building. Blending of the solar systems with the building constituents like walls and others can increase the cost-effectiveness of the application of these systems and eventually improve the energy efficiency in the building. The present treatise aims at designing second shell in high-rise buildings through taking advantage of geometrical patterns so as to enhance the efficiency of the building shell. Use has been made of a descriptive-analytical research method herein. The entire information has been collected through library searches based on a descriptive method. All of the information and samples have been analyzed in Design Builder Software parallel to the finding of answers to the study goals and questions. In the current research paper, the geometrical samples in the façade of the building have been simulated using solar panel systems in different geometrical forms by the assistance of Design Builder Software. It was made clear that the use of cubic form amongst the Euclidean geometries and multiplane forms in the solid geometry is followed by a considerably higher annual output in comparison to the other forms.
