Architectural Strategies Building Design to Reduce Embodied Energy in the Geographical and Climatic Location of Bandar Abbas

Residential buildings are responsible for a significant portion of energy consumption worldwide. Different materials are used in buildings and the construction of each material and its application in the construction of the building consumes energy. This energy consumption is the Embodied Energy that is less paid for in our country. The purpose of this study is to reduce the consumption of Embodied Energy in the building in order to protect the environment and climate change. In this article, based on the research background, the Embodied Energy will be reduced with architectural design solutions. First, according to the theoretical foundations of the research, the effective independent variables are explained. Then, the Embodied Energy of a 6-storey building in the hot and humid climate of Bandar Abbas, after modeling the effective components in the form of independent variables, is calculated in proportion to the type of building and the amount of material output in Excel software. The results in this article include two parts: theoretical results that are the product of text review and experimental results that are obtained from calculations and analyzed. The results of this study show that the Embodied Energy per square meter of the sample building in the geographical and climatic location of Bandar Abbas in the architectural department is 1.9 MPA per square meter, which can be changed by changing the design variables up to 18.5 MPA per square meter. ; Also, the highest percentage of Embodied Energy is related to walls and floors. The results of this study emphasize the need for calculations and attention to solutions to reduce the Embodied Energy in hot and humid climates (Bandar Abbas) that need to consume more energy for those involved in the building.
