The Amount of Energy Consumption for Heating
In Ilam, the icy and cold weather conditions occur from January 5 until February 4. In this study, the peak cold period occurs on January 1511The physical models of the samples were simulated using the Ecotect Analysis software and the amount of energy consumption in these samples were calculated via Energy Plus.. Accordingly, meteorology data were examined and the temperature on January 15 in Ilam was found to be -2.6℃. Subsequently, the selected samples were simulated using the Ecotect Analysis software by considering the chosen indices shown in Figure 1; next, the energy consumption of the samples was calculated using the Energy Plus software. According to the analysis results of the peak cold temperature recorded in Ilam, Sample H had the highest amount of energy consumption with respect to the physical features listed in Table 2.
