Abstract :

Today, with the expansion of cities and the growth of the population and the consequent construction, the need and crisis of energy consumption, environmental pollution and its high economic costs, the use of climate solutions and solar energy to reduce energy consumption has become an integral part of the energy issue. Is . The present study aims to investigate design indicators on energy consumption in traditional houses. This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and practical in terms of purpose; And the collection of information was realized by two library and field methods. The statistical population of the research is made up of 17,089 members of the architecture department of Fars Province Engineering System Organization living in Shiraz. Of these, 384 people were selected using Morgan's table. Information was collected using a questionnaire. All statistical analysis was done using Spss software. After examining the architectural indicators of traditional houses) use of water, maximum use of wind, use of light, provision of coolness with shade, use of green space, proportions and composition of architectural elements, materials, sustainable architectural design of spaces, orientation Building and organizing spaces (and solutions for climate architecture and active energy) (orientation and optimal form, thermal conductivity capacity of walls, shade and light-transmitting walls, etc.) Traditional houses designed climate-compatible housing that can provide maximum thermal comfort for residents and reduce energy consumption.
