Analysis and investigation of climate consistent architecture in Sanandaj City on the basis of bio-climatic indices

Today, the issue of climatic conditions is a major priority of architects in construction of buildings .Although climatic architecture design has long been utilized as the principal and most important method in saving energy and sustainability of spaces, but investigating the technical process of construction based on climatic conditions have high impact on energy saving.This research has been done for the purpose of investigation and determination of desirable conditions and an architecture consistent with the climate of Sanandaj City, based on bio-climatic indices such as Mahani, Olgi and Guini indices in a 15 years statistical period (1996-2010) from synoptic station located in Sanandaj City.
