Abstract
Nowadays, considering the energy consumption index in Iran and the inefficiency of energy in cities, it is necessary to prepare urban regulations at the most executive level of urban policy to increase energy efficiency in zoning, as the main output of detailed plans. The main purpose of this study is the evaluation of energy efficiency concerning urban regulations with emphasis on zoning, which for this purpose has answered three main questions as follows: What is the relationship between the concepts of urban regulations and energy efficiency, and the parameters affecting energy efficiency in terms of urban regulations? What is the framework of the evaluation of energy efficiency concerning urban regulations with emphasis on zoning, and what are the criteria and indicators for evaluating energy efficiency in urban zoning regulations, and the weights of each of them? How can an individual evaluate, analyze, and compare energy efficiency in the current urban fabric and simulated urban fabric based on zoning? This research is considered applied research based on purpose, descriptive-analytical research based on method, and also is considered a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. In this research, two library and field methods have been used, including questionnaires and secondary data analysis and also the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique by Geographic Information System (GIS) software and Expert Choice Software. District 6 of Tehran has been selected as its case study. Findings show that energy efficiency in District 6 of Tehran by applying urban regulations with emphasis on the zoning of the detailed plan has decreased by 22.25% compared to the current situation of the urban fabric. This increases energy consumption and consequently the adverse environmental consequences.
