 ABSTRACT
Passive solar design, an idea within the growing trend of green building, is a creative way to use
the sun to our advantage, both for heating and cooling, based on the design of buildings. Attempt has
been made by engineers by increasing the thickness, changing the geometry of the outer wall and also
tried several building materials to reduce temperature fluctuations for indoor environment in both
summer and winter. The installation of heating and air conditioning to seek comfort in homes, offices
and public places has created high energy consumption and consequently, increased the
environmental pollution. One of the painters of sustainability in architecture is the use of natural
energy and fossil energy consumption and minimum natural environmental conditions and climate so
solar building designs which is a step towards its achieving. In this paper, has been expressed the
important factors in solar buildings design. These factors are included external factors and internal
factors.
Keywords: Solar Energy, Architecture, Optimization, Building.
