Evalution of Sustainable Architecture Criteria in cold and dry Climate: A case study of Tabriz

The issue of sustainable development is energy saving, especially non-renewable energy. The design of the building is the first line of defense against climatic factors outside the building. In all climates, buildings built according to old design principles minimize the need for mechanical heating and cooling, and instead use the natural energy of the subject around the building (Matlubi,۲۰۱۶). When the designer knows the climatic conditions of the place, he can select and compare the principles of climate design that are suitable for him (Watson, ۲۰۰۲). Climate design in our country has a history of several thousand years. In fact, with the beginning of monogamy in Iran, attention to climate has always been an important principle in the design and implementation of buildings (Ghobadian, ۲۰۰۲). Perhaps it can be said that one of the most important factors in the design of cities is climate. As its effect can be seen in all the fabric of the urban fabric and even every single building and interior architectural elements of the spaces (Abedi, ۲۰۱۷). In Iran, the architecture of buildings and cities in different climates is one of the most obvious manifestations of the impact of climate on the formation and formation of cities and buildings (Georgi, ۲۰۱۲). Creating comfortable and favorable environmental conditions for living and providing security for the residents of the building from the bite of climatic conditions is one of the inseparable principles of architecture and building (Moradi, ۲۰۰۶).
