Statement of the Problem – Inquadramento del problema Al giorno d’oggi si discute molto nella comunità scientifica mondiale circa le questioni riguardanti lo sviluppo sostenibile, la salvaguardia delle energie non rinnovabili e l’architettura sostenibile. Indubbiamente l’uso incoerente delle energie non rinnovabili quali i combustibili fossili metterà a rischio lo sviluppo ambientale mondiale nel prossimo futuro. Più di un terzo dell’energia consumata a livello globale viene impiegata nel settore delle costruzioni, pertanto con questa alta domanda di consumo energetico non c’è speranza di preservare le fonti energetiche per il futuro. La carenza di risorse energetiche evidenzia l’importanza di implementare l’architettura sostenibile. La maggior parte delle fonti non rinnovabili è stata consumata. Si prevede che il prezzo dei combustibili fossili continuerà a salire nei prossimi anni, pertanto, si è formata l’idea di edifici ad impatto energetico zero al fine di soddisfare i requisiti energetici di questo secolo e superare le preoccupazioni legate all’energie che sono sorte nell’era attuale. Certamente è nella speranza umana quella di realizzare idee creative quali edifici ad energia zero, edifici ad energia neutra o edifici indipendenti per molti anni. Con l’utilizzo delle tecnologie moderne il più grande sogno dell’umanità, preservare le risorse energetiche, può essere realizzato. L’architettura tradizionale Iraniana è uno dei migliori esempi di architettura sostenibile, rappresenta un uso efficace di energie non rinnovabili basato su regioni climatiche del passato. L’antica architettura Iraniana mostra l’esperienza degli Iraniani nell’utilizzo delle energie naturali non terrestri (né sotterranee) come l’energia del sole, vento, acqua etc. Le differenti situazioni geografiche e climatiche sono state integrate con la sapienza e l’intelligenza delle popolazioni del passato nell’utilizzo di energie naturali andando a costituire quel peculiare modello dell’architettura tradizionale Iraniana. Oggi è possibile utilizzare l’esperienza del passato e recuperare quei modelli tradizionali che per lungo tempo sono stati dimenticati, al fine di soddisfare i bisogni climatici di ogni regione e diminuire il consumo di carburanti fossili. In questa tesi, la regione Iraniana e le sue case vernacolari vengono esaminate come uno dei maggiori esempi di “architettura compatibile” alle condizioni climatiche. In questa tesi sono state analizzate le energie rinnovabili nelle case passive e negli edifici ad energia zero. Inoltre si è cercato di utilizzare i nuovi materiali, le tecnologie e le esperienze della tradizione nei nuovi complessi abitativi come parte della soluzione per un decrescente uso di energie consummabili e minori spese nelle case.

Abstract

Statement of the Problem Nowadays some of the important issues of the world scientific communities are the discussion on the sustainable development, saving the non-renewable energy and the sustainable architecture. Undoubtedly the irregular use of non-renewable sources such as the fossil fuels, will jeopardize the world’s environmental situation in the near future. More than one third of total consumed energy has been used In the buildings section , so with this high demand of energy consumption , there is no hope for preserving energy sources for the future. Lack of energy resources emphasize the importance of reaching the sustainable architecture. The main part of the non-renewable sources have been consumed. It is predicted that the price of fossil fuels continues to rise in the next years, therefore, the idea of the zero energy building has been formed in order to meet the energy needs of the current century and is used for removing the energy related concerns in the current era. Indeed, human hope to accomplish the creative ideas such as zero energy building, neutral energy building or independent building for many years. By using modern technology the biggest human dream, preserving energy resources, can be achieved. Iranian traditional architecture as one of the best sample of the sustainable architecture, represents the effective usage of non-renewable energies based on the climate region in the past. The ancient Iranian architecture indicates the experience of the Iranian in using the non-terrestrial (non underground) natural energies such as the energy of the sun, wind, water and etc. The different geographical and climatic situations have been integrated with the penchant and intelligence of the past people for using the natural energies in order to form the unique patterns of the Iranian traditional architecture. Today, it is possible to utilize the past experiences and restoration of those traditional patterns which have been forgotten in the current era, in order to meet the climatic needs of each region and decrease the consumption of the fossil fuels. In this thesis, the country of Iran and its vernacular houses have been investigated as the most notable samples of “adjusted architecture” per climatic conditions. In this thesis, the hot and arid climatic region of Yazd has been investigated. According to the investigations, the usage of the correct materials, accurate identification of the climatic specifications of each region and its related facilities can lead to creation of the appropriate spaces in order to meet the air conditioning and minimize the consumption of non-renewable energies. In this thesis, the renewable energies in the passive houses and zero energy buildings have been investigated.
