Investigating Indexes of Sustainable Energy in Designing Residential Complexes

One of the most important outcomes of increase in urban population in various societies is that modern human with help of technology has been able to construct high skyscrapers and advanced heating and cooling systems and provide comfort with excessive consumption of fossil energies and consequently the last century could be termed as century of energy crisis without any doubt. Since these resources are not renewable and are coming to an end it is inevitable to find strategies to solve this problem. Using renewable energies could provide energy for humans with very lower costs alongside of producing and supplying energy more than global demand rate. Also using these kinds of energies in architecture could change the buildings to structures with high quality and low energy consumption. Unfortunately statistics show that per capita energy consumption in our country is 5 times of global average and 11 times of per capita energy consumption in China. Therefore we tried to introduce sustainable energies and their use in architecture by conducting this research with analytical-descriptive method and through collecting documents, in order to achieve sustainability, reduce ecological pollutions, and optimize energy consumption.
