Abstract :

Background and Objective: Due to the growth of population and consequently the crisis caused by increase of energy demand, management of energy consumption has become inseparable from the issue of sustainability. Therefore, in this study, with a special emphasis on the importance of energy saving, optimization of energy consumption in housing sector are discussed through the contemporary native pattern designing in hot and dry regions. Method: Hence, the required information was collected by investigating the energy consumption in this sector through different patterns and designing the energy-efficient patterns to achieve this important issue. Findings: Due to the fact that the study was done on a case studies in Yazd city, the designing style of the buildings such as (direction of the thickness of the walls, height of the inner structures, etc.) and the elements used (porches, plants, wind, etc.), which have a direct effect on energy efficiency, are studied. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results, the pattern of vernacular architecture and modern residential patterns for reducing energy consumption led to similar outcomes by implying that the proposed method can be efficient in reducing the energy consumption
