Increasing Energy Efficiency During Design Case Study: Building and Green Space of the Museum of Visual Arts

In the current situation, the recreational role of museums is gradually transforming into an educational and scientific role. Museums have realized that they are not only responsible for collecting, recording, and preserving antiques and exquisite properties but also for introducing them. In addition, since they are responsible for attracting and engaging people, they must provide various educational programs appropriate to the age and awareness of visitors (using all educational services). One of the most important goals of the project is to respond to the above-mentioned needs. But another goal is to use modern energy-saving technologies in the design and construction of this museum. In our country, due to the existence of a huge source of solar energy, maximum utilization of this energy is essential. The use of this renewable energy is very reasonable and it is possible to exploit it in most parts of Iran. The need for such a museum (which, in addition to the museum's function of preserving and preserving the works of great architects, including architectural sheets, initial sketches, volumetric models, Figures, and videos, in addition to that, it also deals with the function of education, which is one of the important goals of modern museums,): Is very much felt. Among the spaces of this museum, we can mention a specialized library, an architectural research institute, an amphitheater, multi-purpose halls for holding specialized architectural conferences and meetings, galleries, an educational section, and a section for preserving and preserving the works of architects. Given that all the walls and ceilings of the complex will be double-layered and insulation with at least heat exchange will be placed between these two layers, the insulation of all structures must be such that the losses caused by heat exchange are minimized as much as possible. In the heating and cooling system of all museum spaces, an attempt will be made to use hot and cold air. Horizontal and vertical channels in special places while construction and building work are carried out. They will be replaced based on the design specifications. The alternative is to design and install all the heat transfer channels in an exposed and surface-mounted manner, which is a decorative element and also completely accessible for inspection and maintenance.
