Solar energy can be utilized through different types of passive and active solar systems. One of the passive systems is the Greenhouse that provides different functions. In this research, heating performance of Greenhouse in cold climate is simulated, investigated, and analyzed by means of computer software. The results of this research showed that Greenhouse, in comparison with Direct Gain glazing system, decreases building heating load, despite the diminution of the direct radiation gains. In Ardebil, the optimal building orientation, in order to get the maximum solar gain and the minimum load in the heating period, is obtained in south west and west direction of the facade. The maximum heat loss and minimum solar gain occur through the north side of the building, which is considered as the most inappropriate facade direction for the Greenhouse system.
