Abstract :

Green architecture is one of the architectural trends that is derived from the concepts of sustainable development and plays a role in the compatibility and coordination of basic human needs with the environment. Nowadays, there is a lot of discussion about green and sustainable architecture, the most important pillar of which is helping to conserve energy. Also, in recent years, the construction industry, especially the construction of medical centers, has been affected by sustainable development and the construction of green medical centers in order to reduce energy consumption. Green buildings ensure the health of the environment during the construction process and their lifespan by using the most efficiency and the least destructive use of land, water, energy and resources. In addition to the beauty and good performance of the spaces, the architectural design of green medical centers tries to make maximum use of natural factors and resources such as renewable energy and plants, to regulate environmental conditions and create comfort for users. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the principles of designing medical centers with a green architecture approach in order to reduce energy consumption. In this research, a mixed research method and a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used to analyze the research information
