With the continuous growth of urban population and the development of cities, the demand for energy in the building sector, especially in residential areas, has significantly increased. The configuration and form of buildings, along with their architectural and structural features, have a noticeable impact on the energy consumption of buildings and environmental sustainability. The main objective of this research is to assess the thermal performance of buildings at the scale of the neighborhood unit.

This research was conducted using quantitative research methods and sensitivity analysis. The data collection methods included gathering information from credible library and online sources, as well as conducting field visits.

Research findings indicate that courtyard patterns are considered the most efficient, while linear patterns and discontinuous courtyard patterns are regarded as the least efficient residential block patterns in Zanjan. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between energy consumption and layout and form indicators of the blocks, as well as moderate relationships with block proportions. The most efficient forms are octagonal and square shapes, and patterns with a length-to-width ratio ranging from 1 to 1.6 generally exhibit better energy performance.

studying and identifying efficient and inefficient patterns is important to reduce energy consumption in future design.

French philosopher Jean Baudrillard was the first person to propose the term hyperreality. In 1981, he wrote the book Simulacra and Simulation, which he described that how unreal simulacras replaced reality. At first the simulacras only imitated reality, then they multiplied so rapidly that they cover all around reality and finally killed reality in secret. They ascended the throne after the death of reality and after that everything became a simulacra, even us. The real world became to a simulated postmodern hyperreal world where you could be anyone you want to be, except who you really are. This changed everything and influenced art more than anything else. In this article, we study that how hyperreality has appeared in American cinema. 36 years before Baudrillard's book, the movie The Picture of Dorian Garh was made; A film that asked the question: What if a simulacra could be more real than the reality it was created from? And 36 years after Baudrillard's book, the movie Player Number One was made, which answered this question: the simulacra can be more real than reality only if reality dies. This is how the hyperreality was born.

Daylight factor (DF) is known as an important element in architecture and a useful strategy in designing low-energy buildings. In the meantime, porch is one of the factors influencing the amount of daylight that can be useful in reducing energy consumption. Daylight has positive physical and psychological effects on users and is one of the main aspects in design; therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of the porch in traditional houses of Tabriz on the amount of changes in the daylight factor. The research method is quantitative with a positivist approach and the statistical population is the traditional houses of Tabriz.  Meanwhile, the architecture of the Qajar era is preferable to the rest of the historical periods due to its closeness to the present era and the structural feature of the houses of this era, i.e., having a porch and the active use of many of them at the present time, as well as the higher statistical population; thus, the houses of Behnam, Ghadki and Ganjeizadeh in Tabriz were selected as a sample population. In the study, information was collected by library method and field study. Then, modeling was done using Design Builder energy simulator software in the field of light, and then the quantitative data obtained from the simulation was analyzed with the standards related to the daylight factor. Based on the selected index, the performance of the porch was investigated in different directions and seasons. The results of the study showed that in all the times available in the simulation, the amount of DF has decreased in the state where there is a porch. Also, the performance and efficiency of it is effective in controlling the lighting of the space in the summer and passing the required light in the winter. It is also concluded that the effect of the porch in reducing the amount of DF in the summer is greater than in the winter, which is 30-60% in summer and 1-30% in winter. According to the data, the maximum value of the reduced ratio in the case with the porch in summer (60%) is twice the maximum value of the reduced ratio in the case with the porch in the winter (30%). So, it can be considered as a physical and climatic element that affects the DF. Moreover, the results indicate that traditional houses with a porch in the hot season reduce 30-60% of DF, which is one of the lighting factors inside the space, depending on its direction. And its effect in reducing DF is greater on the east and west fronts than on the south front. By evaluating the information obtained from the present research, it is concluded that traditional houses with porches perform more optimally in terms of controlling the lighting conditions in the space than houses without them and the quality of lighting in the spaces behind the porch in these houses in different seasons of the year is much closer to the standard level.

With a glance at the history of the earth, we can see that the natural world is always evolving. To adapt to the climatic conditions, living organisms have achieved creative features to ensure their survival. Also, nature preserves the creatures that are successful in this matter and removes other creatures. Therefore, by learning from natural species and imitating related achievements, solutions can be found to create comfortable conditions in human habitats. The aim of the upcoming research is to achieve a formal solution for the design of an emergency shelter in the hot and humid climate of Bandar Abbas city, in which natural ventilation can be carried out and create comfortable conditions. Achieving a suitable solution requires extensive study of appropriate biological species. Examining these samples and their form analysis for form design is an approach that is emphasized in the current research. In this regard, the simulation method has been used to check the success rate of natural ventilation in the forms. To check the climate data of Bandar Abbas city, Climate Consultant software was used, and to simulate natural ventilation, Any’s Fluent software was used. By simulating forms and analyzing them, the effect of form ideas on the natural ventilation of shelters can be seen. Finally, this conclusion can be expressed that with the inspiration of natural species related to the flow of fluids, forms with natural ventilation can be designed.

Since the reception of natural lighting in different places is different regarding the sun path and the different sky conditions during the day, season, and year, employing a kinetic facade allows for the adjustment and enhancement of interior natural lighting levels. The geometric pattern and the movement pattern are critical issues in the design of kinetic facades. One of the strategies use in this facade is the control of light entering the space. Another advantage of their efficacy in enhancing the quality of daylight is the improvement in visual quality, particularly in office and public areas. Hence, this present study explores natural lighting by employing two kinetic facades. These facades feature a comparable triangular geometric model but differ in their non-symmetrical folding and rotating kinetic design on the south wall of an office building in Tehran. Consequently, the dissimilarities in kinetic models are compared based on the utilization of natural lighting, and their similarities are identified and analyzed to determine the most suitable option.

To assess natural lighting, the quantitative method and simulation tools utilized were Grasshopper and Honeybee Plus plugin version 06, along with Ladybug lbt version 1.5.0. Subsequently, the simulation results were scrutinized employing the comparative study method. Initially, the simulation involves defining the geometry of a room with specific dimensions: a width of 4 meters, a length of 6 meters, and a height of 3 meters, resulting in a total area of 24 square meters, intended for four employees. The simulated model is located in Tehran, with no shading obstacles. The facades will open and close with the position of the sun and the perpendicular vector on the triangular geometric model. The simulation is run for three days of the year: the 21st of March (spring equinox), the 21st of June (summer solstice), and the 21st of December (winter solstice) (due to the similarity of the autumn equinox with the spring equinox, the latter is not considered) and working hour is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

When comparing the facades, it is observed that the folding kinetic model presents a potential issue of glare and visual discomfort in the space during the months of June, March, and April. This concern is particularly notable at 12 noon in both June and March, coinciding with low light conditions in the space. However, the facade with a rotating kinetic model is only faced with the issue of insufficient light in the space. In order to address these issues, various parameters have been modified. To enhance UDI (Useful Daylight Illuminance) indices with a rotational kinetic model, adjustments were made to ASE (Annual Sunlight Exposure), sDA (Spatial Daylight Autonomy), and UDI indicators with a folding motion model. Variable parameters included alterations in facade size, modifications to the visual transmission coefficient of glass, adjustments to the reflection coefficient of interior walls (ceiling and wall), and changes in the angle or degree of openness for these indicators.

In conclusion, it can be said that a kinetic facade with a triangular geometric pattern and asynchronous motion patterns exhibit different performances in response to natural lighting, considering daylight performance indicators. The facade with a rotating pattern demonstrates a notable impact on the UDI (Useful Daylight Illuminance) daylight indicator, and this effect can be mitigated by adjusting the angle. However, in the kinetic facade, the fluctuation of ASE (Annual Sunlight Exposure) and UDI (Useful Daylight Illuminance) indicators is less influenced. This is attributed not only to the shifting position of the sun in relation to the facade but also to the simultaneous necessity of altering both the extent of the facade opening and the reflection coefficient of the window and glass. The response of both facades, influenced by the variable parameters, places greater emphasis on the degree of facade opening and its correlation with the sun’s position, rather than on the reflection coefficient of the surfaces and the visual transmission coefficient of the glass. Finally, the rotational motion pattern performs better in response to natural lighting.

One of the architectural design components that affects energy consumption and environmental comfort conditions is building envelopes. Among today's solutions to improve the efficiency of building envelopes is to establish a structural relationship between architecture, environment and biology. The focus of this study is on the characteristics of the cactus plant in water absorption and its purpose is to innovate in pattern design with the ability to save energy and improve lighting quality and user satisfaction with the light conditions of the space, by using Biomimicry in Building Envelope design. The present research has been done in two steps; in the first step, data collection in relation to the cactus plant was done by studying documentary-research sources and data were analyzed by descriptive-analytical method. Then, using the results of the analysis, the building shell model is designed and simulated. In the second step, a building model is used as a basis for simulation and the amount of brightness and glare from daylight, using the Climate Studio plugin, once in normal mode and again when the shell was on the building model was simulated and calculated. The results showed that by examining the mechanism of Water absorption and storage in the cactus and the equivalence of trichomes, epidermis and mucosa of this plant, achieved a model for building shells based on the maximum absorption of rainwater and moisture at dawn, as well as shading the facade of the building. Although according to the simulations, the proposed model reduces the index (sDA) by 1.4%, but in contrast, reduces the index (ASE) by 48%, which is a significant amount of improving indoor user comfort.

Given the significance of human presence in open spaces and the influence of climate on urban activities and behaviors, this study addresses the crucial aspect of outdoor thermal comfort. Urban open spaces, especially in hot climates, make users experience high thermal loads leading to thermal discomfort. Outdoor thermal comfort can be improved by controlling radiation and shading to mitigate stresses induced by surface overheating and environmental factors. This research underscores the importance of shading and radiation reduction to promote human presence, create a micro-climate, and improve comfort conditions in urban open spaces. Recognizing shade-producing factors, such as canopies, can contribute to creating desirable outdoor environments. In this context, fabric membrane structures are suitable solutions for hot climates, offering shade and natural ventilation. In hot and arid climates like Semnan, outdoor thermal comfort is not met due to factors such as intense heat, clear skies, strong sunlight, limited vegetation, and a lack of shade. Consequently, outdoor spaces are usable for only limited hours and only for specific seasons. However, by controlling the temperatures and introducing shading, a key factor in cooling the environment and reducing air temperatures during hot periods, thermal comfort conditions can be provided to some extent. Membrane canopies, with their unique properties, are suitable for outdoor spaces, particularly in hot and arid climates, offering users enhanced thermal comfort.

This study investigates the effect of lightweight membrane canopies on outdoor thermal comfort in Semnan, characterized by a hot and dry climate, through a combination of bibliographic research and simulations using ENVI-met and ANSYS software. The bibliographic research is conducted through scrutinizing the sources and documents and analyzing Persian and non-Persian materials related to outdoor thermal comfort and lightweight membrane structures, employing both descriptive and analytical information analysis methods. Simulations are run using ENVI-met to assess the influence of shade on the environment and ANSYS software to simulate various common shade models, assessing their effects on thermal comfort. The simulation analysis follows a comparative research data analysis and review approach.

The findings indicate that installing a membrane canopy during summer results in a temperature reduction of up to 4.7 °C, substantially improving thermal comfort conditions. Lightweight membrane canopies effectively cool the space beneath them and prevent ground overheating. According to previous researches and considering that there are two factors of high temperature and low humidity in the hot and dry climate of Semnan, the combined use of shade to reduce temperature and vegetation to increase humidity has a significant effect on thermal comfort in the hot and dry climate of the Semnan. This discrepancy is attributed to real-world conditions where wind, surrounding objects, and natural elements around the canopies disperse heat, and the flat plate strongly absorbs heat; however, in real conditions there are other objects around the canopies that reduce the intensity of heat. Although shade does not cool the ground, it effectively mitigates excessive heating. In the current simulations, the ground surrounding the canopy heats up to 70-80 °C, but temperatures are cooler under the canopy. If the lowest temperature under the canopy is the criterion, the saddle canopy is more suitable, and if the cooling capacity of the shade is important, the saddle canopy has performed better.

Lightweight membrane canopies cause temperature differences in hot and dry climates. The Ansys simulation results with the aim of investigating the effect of the membrane shade and determining the suitable form for the light membrane shade confirm that the membrane canopy cool the space under and prevent excessive ground overheating. Out of the four membrane canopy models available, namely the Simple, Conical, Umbrella, and Saddle designs, the Saddle canopy stands out with an effectiveness rate of 43.15% in the environment, demonstrating strong performance in creating a cooler space beneath it and can be considered the most suitable choice among the canopy models.

Nowadays, use of new technologies in creating artworks lead to the expansion of interactive approaches in art. Interactive art as a new art that influenced by technology is a suitable platform to be able to study it based on the thoughts of contemporary philosopher Jean Baudrillard. In interactive art, the presence and role of the audience in the completion of artwork, creates a common sense between the audience and the artwork Jean Baudrillard, one of the postmodernism theorists, considers simulation in the contemporary world as a main factor in the disappearance of reality. According to Baudrillard's belief, signs and codes have dominated all aspects of life, including art, in the postmodern society, and he has repeatedly expressed his concern that the reality of the world is being forgotten in the midst of pretense and signs. The aim of research is by relying on the key concepts of Baudrillard’s theories such as simulation and sign value and by examining two examples of Team Lab designer’s interactive artworks, answers this question: how reproduction of signs and Baudrillard's simulation does occur in interactive art? To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical method was used to collect information using written and digital sources. The results of the research show that the presence and action of the audience in interactive art and the difference in their point of view and the way the audience communicates with the interactive work, have created new signs. This reproduction of signs along with factors such as interaction, imagination, subject and object and sense of audience leads to the blurring of the distinction between simulation and reality and the creation of signs without reference to the real world. In these interactive artworks, the role of the audience in completing the work is planned and limited according to the creator's wishes and is more close to the artist's ideas and desires. Since the creation of a hyperreal space requires requirements such as believability, computeralness, explorability, interactivity and immersion, by meeting these requirements in digital interactive art by the creator of the work and its designers, in addition to preserving the artist's idea, attractiveness for the audience of the work is also created. The lack of reference to the real world in these works demonstrates Baudrillard's creation of the hyper reality in interactive art. The interactive art invites the audience to participate and consume images and produce new signs and traps the subject and directs his thought to the subject, to create an imaginary world. The audience considers this world as their main goal and is exposed to responding and expressing the work rather than trying to underestand and judge, and the audience becomes a part of artwork and becomes an art object. The results of the investigation of digital interactive art installations of water painting and the nature of graffiti are an example of the domination of signs and the control of the audience by the codes and machine algorithms considered by Baudrillard, and a manifestation of the role of modern technology.

Environmental pollution caused by the high consumption of fossil fuels has caused adverse consequences for human health and life. These pollutions are increasing day by day due to the consequences of urban life and the widespread use of all kinds of cars. Buildings, as one of the major consumers of energy resources, play an effective role in this situation. The unprecedented increase in the number of buildings, especially in cities, exacerbates this trend. Applying appropriate measures to reduce the use of fossil resources in cooling and heating the interior spaces of the building can lead to the adjustment of these adverse consequences. One of the effective solutions in this field is the proper orientation of buildings according to the climatic conditions of each region, in order to obtain the maximum natural benefit from environmental power and solar energy and reduce the burden of fossil energy consumed by buildings. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of building placement at different geographical angles on the amount of fossil energy consumption for cooling and heating the interior of a building, so that by finding the best possible angle for building placement in Hamadan city in a practical way in order to reduce the dependence of buildings on fossil fuels and the reduction of pollution caused by their consumption, including electricity and gas, were achieved during different seasons of the year.

First, the geographic location of the sample was determined. In the next step, the weather data related to Hamedan City was obtained and entered into the design-builder program. ASHRAE Standard sample space was considered the basic model in Hamadan city. In the next step, a 3D model was created and the physical characteristics of the space were defined in the Design-Builder software. Then, by gradually changing the angle of the geographical location of the model in different seasons, energy consumption was analyzed under each of the mentioned angles.

The findings show that by changing the angle of the model, the amount of energy consumption for cooling and heating the indoor space changes throughout the year and provides different numerical values for each of these cases at different angles. This number shows different values for the cooling and heating of a specific building based on the time period and season under review.

the geographical orientation of the building towards the angle of 100 degrees in Hamadan city puts the amount of energy consumption for heating at the lowest value compared to other angles. Accordingly, the energy consumption for cooling is at its lowest value in the orientation towards the 269 angle. Therefore, for each period of time, the optimal angle specific to that time can be defined for the establishment of the building.

The function of the double-skin facade with natural ventilation is based on the thermal performance and airflow of the cavity. Structural features of a naturally ventilated double-skin façade that affect its thermal performance and fluid dynamics include geometric features such as cavity dimensions, airflow path, air inlet, and outlet areas, shading devices material and their location in the cavity, and material properties that are optical and thermal characteristics of transparent skin. In this research, Fluent Software was used to simulate the computational fluid dynamics, and by sensitivity analysis, the effect of changes in structural properties on thermal performance was evaluated. For this aim, 144 simulation scenarios with cavity depths of 30, 60, 90, and 120 cm, inlet and outlet cross-sections of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 m2, louver shadings with 0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 degree angles located at one third distance close to the exterior wall of the façade, the model without shading, exterior glass with regular and low emission layer were investigated, and the following results were obtained:- Cavity Depth: It was observed that as the depth increases, the velocity of airflow in the cavity decreases. Changing the width of the hole changes the surface temperature of the inner glass up to a maximum of 0.80 ° C (up to 2%). As the depth of the cavity increases, the heat flux transmitted through the inner glass surface decreases in most cases (up to 6.5%).- Cross-section: As the cross-section increases, the air velocity in the cavity increases the temperature of the inner glass surface changes irregularly but, in most cases, decreases. In addition, the heat flux passing through the inner glass surface often increases (up to a maximum of 16.3%).- Shading: In the case without shading, the air velocity in the cavity is 0.30 to 0.70 m/s, and in the case with 45 degrees of shading, the air velocity in the cavity is between 0.30 and 0.92 m/s. In the case without shading, the temperature of the inner glass surface changes from 39.3 to 41.0 ° C, and in the case with 45 degrees, changes are between 38.65 to 39.5 ° C. In the case without shading, the heat flux transmitted through the inner glass surface changes from 78.0 to 120.0 W/m2, and in the case with 45 degrees shading, differences between 43.0 to 48.2 W/m2. The sensitivity of the heat flux transmitted through the inner glass surface to the presence or absence of shading can lead to a reduction of the heat flux transmittance through the inner glass surface by up to 61.0%.- Exterior glass type of DSF: In the case without shading, the reduction rate of heat flux from the inner glass surface is 19.44% to 29.78%, and in the case with 45-degree shading is from 17.71% to 24.44%. By changing the exterior glass's material (low emission or regular), the heat flux transmitted through the inner glass surface changes by 32.2 and 120 W/m2.

In the West, from the middle of the 20th century onwards, with the removal of the suffix "Ism" from the titles of various art branches and the addition of the suffix "Art" to them, a clear boundary between visual arts, performing arts, music, etc. Transition and "new arts" is a general title to explain this part of art history with the mentioned characteristics. In the new arts, on the one hand, with the use of new technologies, new branches and forms of art have emerged, and on the other hand, the media through the publication of works of art and communication between artists and audiences in social networks, on the world. Art has been influential. The widespread dominance of media in human life has led to the insatiable effort of humans to consume and be consumed by the media. Therefore, the new arts and the media of the communication age are connected to each other. In this article, with the aim of opening a new window for the reading and understanding of contemporary artistic trends by adapting Baudrillard's theories to new arts, an attempt has been made to answer the question that the relationship between media and new arts from the perspective of form How can the capture of hidden aesthetic discourses, the dominance of the media through hyperreality and meaninglessness, and the mechanisms of the capitalist system over the world of art be formulated? In this regard, by using the descriptive-analytical method, the fundamental issues raised in the theory of Jean Baudrillard regarding the media have been used. The results of this research showed that in this formed paradigm, the concepts proposed by Baudrillard can also be seen in new works of art; Especially when new arts appear as a medium. Baudrillard's discussion about the collapse of two opposite poles and as a result reaching a meaningless world that this situation neutralizes any element of rebellion and rebellion and makes criticism impossible, although it was raised in a political context, but it shows some trends. In the current of new arts, it can be studied and analyzed based on this theory.

As a sociologist and postmodern philosopher who, of course, himself rejected the application of these titles to his theories, Jean Baudrillard put forward appropriate theories about the images. In his social theories, his endless concern for the destruction of the reality and its replacement by the simulation is evident. In the meantime, he considers art as a conspiracy and a means to realize the simulation. He criticized cinema in particular as a reality-simulating reference. One of the basic working procedures for creating simulations from Baudrillard point of view is to use computer visual effects. On the one hand, Baudrillard is a cinema critic, and on the other hand, he is interested in it and emphasizes its capabilities. These views give rise to dichotomies in Baudrillard's theories. This research is an attempt to remove the existing dichotomies and to identify the reality approach behind these apparent contradictions in the field of virtual reality and visual effects in cinema. In this regard, through library research, data analysis and scrutiny of Baudrillards' statements, this research seeks descriptive-analytically a working procedure to prevent the destruction and replacement of reality in cinema and determine the relationship between cinema and visual effects. Consequently, the rejection of visual effects, according to Baudrillard, depends on the purpose of its application, not on visual effects nature. In other words, the use of visual effects in order to reconstruct or simulation of reality is excluded, and it can be accepted in the direction of imagination.

Energy simulation in an urban environment can be accomplished considering two major

first by analyzing the environmental thermal comfort and second by defining the impact of the environment on buildings energy consumption. Three factors affect the creation of pedestrian thermal comfort including climate (global radiation, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed), microclimate (sky view factor, direct and indirect radiation, mean radiant temperature, surface temperature, ground temperature, building and ground albedo) and pedestrian physical properties (metabolic activity and coatings; these factors are usually not considered in current software. In order to evaluate the thermal components of urban or regional climates, it is necessary to gather accurate data about the radiant conditions in the surrounding environment. This data can be measured experimentally or calculated using the appropriate radiation model. Thus, there are two general methods of using questionnaires and computational simulations to evaluate the effective factors. For applying energy simulation, selecting the proper tool is the first step, which would not be possible without a detailed understanding of how the tool works. On the other hand, it is difficult to choose the proper tool among the growing number of simulation software. Considering designers’ recent tendency in this field, it is essential to be aware of the modeling capabilities and limitations of each tool. Some studies have compared the capabilities of building energy software, but no similar studies have been done on the urban scale.

By identifying outdoor thermal indices, this study classifies different types of energy simulation at urban scale while introducing six software of Envimet, Rayman, UMI, Meteodyn, Solene and SOLWEIG for pedestrian thermal comfort evaluation. This study aims to define the capabilities, potential, weakness and efficiency of the mentioned software in urban environment. By applying comparative and logical analysis research method, the study is conducted in four steps. In the first step, outdoor thermal comfort indicators have been identified considering effective factors in creation of urban microclimate. The second step is dedicated to identification and classification of related software to be distinguished from urban energy analysis software. In the third step, software performance and the related features are examined and in the final step, selected software properties have been compared in different fields to define strengths, weaknesses and proper application. Capability of the above-mentioned software are compared in terms of climatic parameters, outdoor thermal comfort indicators, solving equations, defaults and neglected factors, extractable parameters, numerical and graphical output data, application simplicity, interaction with other software, graphical interface, accessibility and cost.

In order to perform a simulation with proper accuracy, it is necessary to consider three basic models of radiation, heat transfer and CFD airflow in combination with each other. However, in many energy simulation tools, some equations in the analysis process are overlooked for simplification. In Envimet and Solene software, the three equations are analyzed. The analysis in Rayman, SOLWEIG and UMI models is based on the radiation and heat transfer models only ignoring the airflow model that is assumed to be constant. In Meteodyn, the radiation model in Urbasun and the airflow model in Urbawind tool are analyzed. In Envimet and Solone, four parameters of dry temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and radiant temperature are calculated. Apart from wind speed, Solone calculates three other parameters, while in Rayman, dry temperature and radiant temperature are considered regardless of relative humidity and wind speed. The only parameter examined in UMI and Meteodyn is wind speed.

By computing radiant fluxes, Rayman calculates six thermal comfort indicators. Envimet and Solone calculate four indicators including PMV, PET, UTCI, and MRT and in SOLWEIG model, three indicators including PET, UTCI, and MRT are calculated, while none of the common indicators for thermal comfort is listed as the output data in UMI and Meteodyn.  Envimet, Solene and Rayman provide more outdoor thermal comfort indicators as output results. In UMI and Meteodyn data is estimated as the average radiation and wind speed while in other the tools it could be extracted precisely at any desired time. While UMI is a simple free tool, using Envimet and Solene is not free and requires training. However, currently no single tool considers the best combination of all factors and includes all physical processes. The results of this research can help architects, urban designers and software users to choose the proper software in each design stage considering project goals.

In the architectural design process, the site is analyzed by different factors. These analyses require a complete assessment system and full knowledge. This research mainly looked to assess a parametric simulation of components affecting the site plan analysis in Khoi and the Shams Tabrizi Shrine using an environmental impacts assessment matrix. This quantitative research uses modeling and simulation techniques. To accurately assess the effects of the parameters, credible architectural software, Rhino and Grasshopper, were used. In order to analyze the site, such factors as the site bed, topography, accessibility, vision, perspective, noise pollution, and sunlight were considered. Results indicate that two factors, topography and surrounding buildings, contributed most to site calculations. According to algorithm calculations of environmental impacts assessment matrix, findings show that the cells with scores of higher than 5 were suitable areas for design and construction. Analytical components of the site can be used directly and more effectively in the design process using design algorithms and parametric methods, provided that the analysis step is an integrated method, unlike traditional methods. This research offers two takeaways. First, it provides an assessment of available plans. Second, a productive context for new plans; i.e., in addition to being a productive context for the final design, the site analysis components also serve as a vehicle to assess the final plans (both administered or unadministered ones).
