“…Modern architecture focuses on the construction of structures with natural ventilation and light, employing various technologies and techniques including computer simulation [7]. Apparently, failure to meet users' demands in modern buildings is the cause of changes [8]. A yeast production building in Malta (location very similar to Tehran) sets a good example covering all American and European requirements in the field of air conditioning and energy in an industrial building.…”

“…Placing the ventilation openings in the roof of the building provides the possibility of conditioning half of the air from the internal area within an hour. With regard to exothermic process of yeast production and chemical conversion fitting the proliferation, it is essential to keep ambient temperature always between 5 and 7° C. Uncoated additional facades are used to enhance temperature regulation, allowing the building to "breathe" normally [8]. In any ecotech architecture approach the aim is to balance diverse factors such as urban development, design, attention to function, appearance and the response to users' needs [9].…”

Ecotech architecture can be used as an effective strategy to minimize energy consumption and enhance the satisfaction of construction industry beneficiaries in the Middle East. The use of ecotech principles has been employed in different parts of the world. However, following a universal approach is not possible as local conditions are always to be considered Applications and examples of ecotech architecture are investigated in this paper. A proposed building design for the Cheetgar region in Tehran is also briefly demonstrated. A further insight on Masdar city in Abhu Dabi is provided. An overall discussion is made and key conclusions are drawn.

“…However, the condition of the natural light environment is constantly changing. In order to accurately evaluate the real condition of the daylight environment at the initial stage of scheme design, designers need to use lighting simulation technology to simulate and predict the condition of natural light [15]. Natural light is dynamic and it is difficult to control its dynamic changes; it changes with geography, time and weather conditions, which increases the difficulty and accuracy of computer simulation [16].…”

Upon the need for sustainability and natural lighting performance simulation for high-speed railway station waiting halls in cold regions, a new prediction method was proposed for the quantitative analysis of their natural lighting performance in the early design stage. Taking the waiting hall of Harbin West Railway Station as the prototype, the authors explore the optimization design of green performance-oriented waiting halls in this paper. To maximize daylight and minimize visual discomfort, and with the help of Rhinoceros and Grasshopper and Ladybug, and Honeybee platform simulation programs, spatial elements such as building orientation, shape and windowing were simulated through optimizing target sDA, UDI and DGPexceed, respectively, based on natural lighting performance. Additionally, a dataset covering several light environment influencing factors was constructed by parametric simulations to develop a gradient boosted regression tree (GBRT) model. The results showed that the model was valid; that is, the coefficient of determination between the predicted value and the target one exceeds 0.980 without overfitting, indicating that the interpretability analysis based on the GBRT prediction model can be used to fully explore the contribution of related design parameters of the waiting hall to the indoor light environment indexes, and to facilitate more efficient lighting design in the early design stage without detailed analysis. In addition, the GBRT prediction model can be used to replace the traditional one as the effective basis for decision support. To conclude, the skylight ratio played a significant role in UDI, while the section aspect ratio (SAR) and plan aspect ratio (PAR) served as the key design parameters for sDA and DGPexceed, respectively. At the same time, the building orientation had the least degree of influence on the natural lighting of the waiting hall.
