Ecological design is defined as any form expression that
minimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living
processes. Ecological design is an integrative ecologically responsible design discipline.
Layout of climate is one of the basics for the ecological design of Semnan. In this
regards, the ecological design and the architecture of the city of Semnan are the
means through which the city reinvents its identity and its structure and renews its face. Creating of healthy and restful occupant environments for human
becomes one of the main infrastructure challenges upon modern ecological design
and architecture which provides human health. Undoubtedly, there are also reasons
for being optimistic upon the level of physical and mental wellbeing of individuals,
reducing the incidence of diseases, and/or might reduce their total fuel consumption
with adverse health effects, and environmental pollution. In the climate-related
topics, the architecture of the building is considered with the climatic conditions
of each region, which will result in more human comfort and energy saving in order
to control the environmental conditions. The purpose of this research is to identify
and review the architectural style and ecological design of the city in accordance
with the climate and the climate guidelines that can be used in the areas of stability,
comfort, beauty, health, energy efficiency, and the use of important climatic parameters
(temperature, relative humidity, ...) extracted from the data bank of the Semnan
Synoptic Station (1965-2005) and the TerjungEnvironmental Indexes. The thermal comfort conditions
of the private and public bodies of Mahani and Givoniwere reviewed and analyzed for the establishment of the buildings and seasons
of the year. The results show that the weather is very cool at night in the months
of March and October which areacceptable on the day in comfort area, and June, July and August are acceptable
at the level of comfort in the city in the months of
