Providing housing for low-income groups is one of the problems for governments. Low-income households spend much of their annual income on housing, so it is imperative for every government to provide housing for the welfare of society. The importance of social housing is due to the provision of adequate housing for the lower deciles and the adjustment of its important challenges due to limited energy resources and increased demand. The building sector is one of the largest energy consumers in the world, especially in Iran. Proper housing design avoids energy waste. Therefore, social housing design with the approach of optimal energy consumption as macroeconomic and social policy is considered in this study. If Iran continues the same process in energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption, it will pose a serious threat to the economy. The overall goals include reducing the share of housing in the living cost basket and optimizing energy use in social housing. The research method is analytical, field and simulation of the proposed model in Tehran, while maintaining affordable prices, respond to the housing demand by optimizing energy consumption. Initially, social housing was designed in accordance with design standards and based on cost, optimization of energy-efficient parameters such as form, orientation, neighborhood, details of building components, etc. and finally it was shown that the proposed scheme was more desirable than the existing one. The obtained results are providing solutions with economic justification of social housing plan by optimizing energy consumption.
