Abstract

The first thing that could create security and comfort in the disaster-affected people is to have a good housing for the family to gather together. Therefore, it is important to supply thermal comfort of the users when designing and building temporary housing. Given the effective and improving role of shapes on the thermal function of buildings, it is essential to achieve the optimal shape for temporary housing. The present study was conducted to obtain an optimal shape for post-disaster temporary housing and to save fossil fuels and energy consumption (in cooling and heating). Based on the hypotheses, reducing the area of the external shell of building by changing the cube shape of temporary housing saves energy. To test the hypothesis, the causal method (thermal simulation) using DesignBuilder software with Plus Energy Motor was employed. Following investigations and obtaining an optimal plan area for the temporary housing using Delphi method, the energy demand of buildings was measured by changing the parameters of various shapes including cube, prism, cylinder, dome (hemisphere), cone and Khalili shapes. Results of the study in four different climates confirmed the hypothesis. Findings show that depending on the climate, Compared to a cube, a hemisphere save energy by about 24 to 36% in each climate on average. depending on the climate, When changing the flat form of a cube ceiling into a barrel vault, save energy by about 17 to 25% in each climate on average.
