Abstract
With respect to expansion and development of high rise buildings in Iran and their high energy consumption, it is vital to apply certain solutions in order to reduce the energy consumption. Shells and its components are the most essentials factors which impact in energy consumption. Regarding the importance of present research, the relation of openings and energy consumption in high rise building and Tehran’s climatic conditions is discussed. In this research, the basic model of research in regard to annual energy consumption has been stimulated by eQuest. In this process, the opening ratio in basic model is considered 10% and then other tests with 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% as a whole and direction to direction have been carried out. The result displays that the opening ratio and annual energy consumption of research model have a direct relationship in such a way that the reduction of opening ration up to 20% can almost reduce the annual energy consumption to 17%. Also, the effectiveness of opening ration differs in different buildings directions. The priority is given to south, east, west and north.
