Abstract :
Background and Objective: Today, due to insufficient attention to non-renewable energy resources, a significant portion of these resources is wasted in buildings, which not only leads to their depletion but also contributes to air pollution in urban and rural areas. The main objective of this research is "to develop strategies for utilizing renewable energy based on forestry biomass to reduce energy consumption in buildings in the city of Lahijan."
Material and Methodology: This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and follows a qualitative-quantitative approach, conducted in the city of Lahijan. For data analysis, SWOT and ANP techniques were used.
Findings: The findings showed that the lack of efficient policies for optimal use of forestry and agricultural waste has led to a reduced willingness of the community to adopt accessible renewable energy in the temperate and humid regions of Iran, especially in the city of Lahijan. However, with a change in government approaches, exponential growth in the use of this type of energy can be expected in the long run.
Discussion and Conclusion: due to the low cost of using biomass, the speed of using this energy can be exponentially increased in a short time among the general population of the Caspian regions, which will reduce the use of fossil fuels and it is general household expenses. This will be an incentive for more people in the target community to use renewable energy in order to preserve natural resources.
