Architectural Strategies to Reduce Embodied Energy in Residential Buildings in Bandar-Abbass

The most common thing that architects and engineers are trying to improve is the building's energy consumption after construction. The energy consumed in the process of building a house receives plenty of resources, so a solution to the energy problem and the most appropriate materials for a building can be selected by evaluating the energy of the construction time (Embodied Energy). In this research, the energy reduction impact will be addressed through architectural implementation strategies. The purpose is to reduce energy consumption in order to protect the environment. Initially, the Embodied Energy of a 6-story building in Bandar Abbas was calculated and then calculated and analyzed based on how variables affect the total Embodied Energy extracted from the theoretical framework of the research. The conclusions of this paper contain two parts of the research results: the product of the literature review and the experimental results obtained from the calculations. This study shows that the energy impact of each square meter of building in Bandar Abbas in the architectural sector ranges from 1.9 to 18.5 MJ / m2 and the highest percentage of Embodied Energy is related to walls and floors. This research investigates the variables affecting the runtime, including mortar, transportation, building maintenance, reconstruction rather than demolition, use of recyclable materials on the total energy impact of the entire building. The results show that the choice of materials can increase up to 89% of the Embodied Energy of the whole building. It which is equivalent to 33 years of energy consumption of the building, and as the results of the research has the most significant impact on Embodied Energy, so architects in choosing materials, Details, dimensions, and spaces to perform Embodied Energy calculations that have the most significant impact on reducing the Embodied Energy of the building. Finally, solutions to reduce the Embodied Energy of the building are presented at runtime.
