Indigenous architecture has roots from nature, context and natural archetypes. The main goal of this research is to reframe Persian architecture as biocompatible, biophilic and eco-friendly architecture. It is to extract indicators that highlight biophilic aspects of Persian architecture as a reliable representative of the architecture of MENA region.

The research strategy is logical argumentation and the research method is descriptive-analytical. The theoretical framework of the research is based on highperformance architecture theory. The Delphi method, discipline of anticipation (DoA), and the Shannon algorithm have been adopted to extract effective indicators. For the discussion group, the opinions of twenty experts in the field are referred to. The tools for collecting opinions are in-depth interviews and structured questionnaires.

The quantitative research findings show that there is a meaningful correlation between the principles of Iranian architecture and biophilic architecture. These surveys show that the most dominant criteria might be summarized as: 1- socio-cultural dimensions: the occupant behavior, culture of context, measuring happiness instead of incomes, compatibility with the environment and the life cycle assessment; 2- economic dimensions: Persian culture of contentment, flexibility and design optimization; 3- environmental dimensions: performance-based design, carbon neutrality, and bio-compatible materials.

Persian architecture is an invaluable representative of highperformance architecture theory which might be acclaimed for focusing on nature-based solutions. It is to highlight the "process" more than the product; long-term benefits instead of short-term gains; nature-based value creation to encourage a zero-waste building industry, to reduce carbon footprint and biophilic architecture.

According to statistics, educational institutions have the highest level of energy consumption in governmental buildings. Understanding the correct energy performance of the building, therefore, can help in using the correct optimisation methods. In this research, the aim is to optimise energy consumption in five new and old faculty premises of Shahid Beheshti University. To answer the research questions, using field measurement and simulation methods, the initial status of each faculty has been investigated in terms of energy consumption, carbon footprint and discomfort hours. Then, construction, architectural, installation and management strategies for reducing energy consumption are simulated via Design Builder software, with optimal options proposed for each building. Finally, based on implementation costs, all solutions are classified, and the energy label for each faculty consumption reviewed in terms of electricity consumption before and after optimisation. According to the results of this optimisation, in the Faculty of Theology and Earth Sciences, respectively had the highest (79%) and lowest (27%) impact on reducing primary energy consumption. Also, using solar panels was shown to provide between 8% (Faculty of Biology) to 65% (Faculty of Theology) of electricity needs.

Environmental impact assessment is useful to have a sustainable building. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the best way to measure and assess carbon emissions and a destructive environmental effect of building materials. This article aims to answer the question of whether significant differences in the environmental effect of the use of steel or concrete structure building in Tehran. There is the life cycle of a building in construction phase, once with a steel frame and the other with a concrete structure. The results show that steel buildings based on 4 GPP, ARP, EU, OPD, have less environmental emissions than concrete buildings. Whereas in terms of initial energy use and coefficient of low ozone, the concrete building showed better results. The results of simulation and software analysis showed carbon emissions and environmental impact of concrete buildings compared to steel buildings throughout the life of the building. This study showed that steel frame in Tehran has a better environment effect than steel.
