Abstract

Consideration of climatic and regional criteria, prevention of destruction of main ecosystems, maintaining the health of urban areas and preserving natural resources and energy are very important factors in designing sustainable residential complexes, because the primary nucleus of the formation of cities are residential units, which create residential complexes on their own premises. In this article, after recognizing and studying the role of geographic factors in creating natural cooling in warm regions of the country, the principles governing the design of residential complexes are formulated with the aim of achieving the process of designing sustainable residential complexes in three large, medium and small scales with the emphasis on natural cooling solutions. In this regard, among various ways of providing physical comfort, application of static and supra-static systems, with the maximum utilization of natural energies, has a very effective role in reducing the short-term and long-term costs associated with the provision of facilities and equipment for building.
