Abstract

Windows are the main component of every building in entry of daylight into the interior space, paying attention to the use and its time with climate can turn the daylight into the dominant light in the building, and in this case, the users experience, a pleasant feeling of visual comfort, and as a result, the amount of energy consumed for lighting and thermal comfort is also reduced. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of windows with a visual comfort approach and then to investigate the optimal Energy consumption of windows with optimal daylight in Tehran's office buildings, For this purpose, window optimization has been done based on modeling and simulating scenarios in Design Builder software.The results show the effective role of the Window Floor Ratio , position and shape of the window in the amount of illumination of the interior space. According to the surveys, the horizontal rectangular (with a ratio of 1to1.5) and the ratio of the WFR 20% in the upper position can be one of the effective options for the North facing windows of the Tehran office buildings.
