Residential and commercial sectors are the main consumers of energy. According to available data, these two sectors account for more than one-third of total energy use. Moreover, heating and cooling systems contribute to the major share of energy use in a building. The current research economically evaluates the radio-frequency heating systems for use in residential buildings. A building in Dis...

Indigenous architecture is derived from nature, climate and the environment, and due to limited access to modern fossil energy sources, has tried to have the least degree of dependence on them. Imitating the indigenous architecture of a region is the first and most sustainable step in designing climate-friendly architecture. The Housing Foundation of the Islamic Revolution, as the main organiza...

In order to understand the total consumption of buildings and accurately calculate how much energy each building uses, taking in consideration all the building's lifecycle phases is essential. In order to select the correct methodology for the main study, the researcher began with the determination and the parameters that would have been researched, as well as the analysis and comparison of the...

In Iran, energy consumption in the building accounts for about 40% of the total energy consumed in the country; given that 71% of the natural gas consumption in the building is used for indoor heating; therefore, optimizing fuel consumption in the heating system is of special importance. This paper investigates the combined effects of climatic conditions and construction materials. For this pur...

Smart homes with zero energy as an option to combine a large number of distributed energy resources to power networks in building a new future designs, are used. Zero energy homes equipped with smart power integrated production and consumption of zero over a year. In this study is that the sources of energy supply management program for a zero-energy home using mixed integer programming techniq...

Addressing the issue of energy in contemporary Iranian architecture is very important at all stages of planning, design, construction and operation, and the effort to coordinate and interact with the environment is always one of the foundations of sustainable construction. On the other hand, much of the citychr('39')s surface is composed of worn-out areas with high levels of energy consumption....
