Abstract

This paper aims to improve the quality of construction, reduce resource consumption and energy waste in vast part of construction and high- rise buildings in Mashhad metropolitan as the second metropolis in Iran. HQE indicators as one of the international sustainable standards and green architecture, that mean "high quality environmental” uses in this article as Fundamental principles, and Eco city Theory and design criteria of high- rise buildings are used. The comparison of the principles with three important and famous high-rise buildings which named Baran, Armitaj and Darvishi Hotel specified the difference. Also has clarified the ecological thinking in high-rise building. So, using analytical methods,40 criteria, 14 secondary targets in 4 basic target groups of "ecological construction", "ecological management", "Comfort" and "health" in two main groups of external environment and internal environment has been assessed. The final scores represent the rate of green buildings. Completing the questionnaires and interviews with managers, residents and a group of design engineers indicates that almost none of the towers have considered the green architecture principles. Few cases of HQE parameters are implemented in the Tower not for the ecological thinking but for providing welfare in order to distinguish it from other buildings and make more expensive per square meter buildings for sale. So the hypothesis of the research confirmed which that is no possibility of ecological thinking and green architecture building in Mashhad high-rise towers. So the main recommendations of this paper are: introduce the importance of green cities and green architecture to city managers and high- rise builders, Adoption of legislation and regulations of green design and apply incentive criteria in green design towers.
