Abstract :
Volume is an image element that has three dimensions: length, width, and depth. It is a surface volume that has moved in space and expanded in depth from its surface. The volume may have order and geometry, or it may consist of an irregular form, or it may be combined. Usually, all material objects have volume in nature, and nowadays the best architects in the world are trying to make the buildings that they design to be a combination of volumes, because with these forms, the function of the buildings can be almost in a way showed and also changed the shape of the buildings from the usual rectangular cube shape to a new shape that is composed of a combination of various forms, making the building attractive and optimizing it in terms of energy. In the current research, which was carried out using the modeling and simulation method on the predicted building model in hot and humid climatic conditions, the aim of which is to combine volumes in the design of buildings and we are looking for that by using software Simulation and analysis in the design of buildings and their use in the combination of volumes, let s show to what extent it is effective on the amount of energy consumption? The results showed that, according to the investigations, the analysis of the combined volumes and the studies conducted in this research, the first point that can be stated as a definite result is that in the hot climate, it becomes humid with the combination of volumes, the amount of energy consumption reduced In the analysis of the combined volumes of circle with circle, square with square and triangle with triangle in the Design Builder software, it is determined that the lowest energy consumption is the combination of circle with circle and the highest consumption is the combination of triangle with triangle.
