Abstract
The aim of the upcoming article is to optimize the dimensions and proportions of the southern openings in rural residential buildings in the east of Gilan, taking into account the reduction of energy consumption in addition to providing sufficient daylight in the interior. At first, the classification of residential buildings in Hossein Abad village, Rudsar city was done based on the ranking of building components according to the climatic needs of the region. Then, the most abundant species was selected and its samples were simulated with Rhino software and Honeybee plugins. The low consumption sample has been subjected to a parametric investigation of the optimal size of the opening dimensions using the Wallace plugin with the goals of minimum energy consumption and the maximum value of the daylight sufficiency index in the space. The results show that the best state has a difference of 153.49 kilowatt hours per year in intensity of energy consumption compared to the existing state. The main investigated parameters, which include the width, height and okb of the south windows for the three spaces of bedroom, living room and reception, were close to the existing situation. In the average optimal state, the width and height of the window is lower and okb is higher than the current state. Also, its WWR is 9% lower in the average state of optimal conditions, which keeps its energy consumption intensity 73.15 kWh per year for the whole building lower than the existing situation.
