Abstract :

Saving energy is one of the most important challenges in the world today. In recent years, growing concerns about the environmental consequences of energy consumption and global warming have doubled in importance. On the other hand, the share of the construction sector in the energy consumption of countries is significant and for this reason, in recent decades, in most industrialized countries, basic measures have been taken to improve consumption patterns, using various tools such as regulations. One of the most important energy consumed is electrical energy, which is one of the most basic energy sources of buildings and plays an important role. The complex problems and processes of electricity generation and transmission, the pollution generated by the production of fossil fuels, and other cases have prompted researchers to seek solutions to reduce energy consumption or, in other words, optimize energy consumption. In this study, some practical solutions to move towards energy saving have been investigated and the effect of using materials with different heat transfer coefficients in external walls according to Semnan weather conditions on the modeled building and to analyze the cooling and heating load of the building. Compared with renewable materials. Finally, the external wall, using a 20 cm straw block, has reduced the annual energy consumption compared to perforated pottery, autoclaved concrete, and Article 19 of the National Regulations has resulted in 3%, 0.6%, and 2.76%, respectively.
