Abstract: This article analyzes the Climatic Effect in the Formation of Sustainable Architecture in Mazandaran
Vernacular Architecture-Iran. The aim purpose of this research is explaining the Vernacular architecture in
Mild-Humid climate of Mazandaran as a sample of sustainable architecture. One of the main contributions of
Sustainability in architecture is conserving constructions for the future, according to conserving on energy
resources. Based on this study, sustainability is effective in the introduction productive models. Traditional
architecture of Mazandaran is perceived sustainable for having sustainable features. It is capable to answer to
environmental difficulties from a long period. The main characteristic of this paper are including local
construction materials and climatic factors of Temperate and humid regions and also wants to identify
sustainable architecture and its principles. The data collected of this study were utilizing Internet sites, library
documents and analyzing building plans. Ultimately, this article indicated that a Temperate and humid climate

Literature Review
Sustainable Architecture: Sustainable development has
perceived practical solutions given against traditional
patterns of economic and social development that
prevents extermination of natural resources destroy of
ecosystems, decrease quality of human life, irregular

According to Shohouhian, M. Soflaee, F. (2005) and

comprehensive sense and is related to all aspects of

is a kind of improvement that is capable to protect human

Temperate and Humid Climate in Mazandaran: [6]
Kasmaee. M, 2003 pointed out that Southern shores of
Caspian Sea have a lot of rainfall and also situated
between Alborz Mountain and Caspian Sea. Though, the
amount of rainfall in this region from west to east becomes
lesser. Moreover, Ramsar and Babolsar (two cities in
Mazandaran) are located in southern shore of Caspian sea
which the humidity of these cities are approximately
eighty percent also the humidity of Ramsar and Babolsar
are more than the human comfort condition. Kasmaee also
identified that Alborz Mountain, which is situated
between two antithetical climates, separates Caspian low
plain from central plateau. One of the particular
