Abstract

The environmental attitude associated with sustainable development includes the belief that the manipulation of ecosystems has a negative effect on natural evolution. Therefore, monitoring and controlling mechanisms have been developed for urban construction activities. Accordingly, urban green building ranking systems have been established around the world. However, Iran does not have its own system, nor does it follow any existing system due to political relationship issues. Through conducting literature reviews, this study introduces a new method of regulating green buildings based on the temperature factor of local climates and the sequestration of carbon on green covers, besides integrating the results of monetary studies with judgments of experts in AHP technology to effectively reduce energy consumption and its consequences carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Taking into consideration the varying climatic conditions of the country, a separate quantitative model of assessing and ranking buildings has been developed for each of 600 cities considered; in such a way that it minimizes climatic disadvantages. Finally, the criteria for a green building assessment were used for a single district in Tehran containing 1195 residential building; the assessment found that the studied buildings utilized only 26% of the building capabilities considered as “green”.
