Explanation of parameters affecting the reduction of energy consumption in urban housing (case study: District 4 of Tabriz city)

Residential energy consumption is one of the largest areas of energy consumption in the world, and among all energy consumption, building energy consumption has the largest share, which accounts for the most carbon emissions. The aim of the current research is to analyze the effect of the parameters of reducing energy consumption in urban housing in order to identify the effective parameters in reducing the energy consumption of urban housing in Chahar region of Tabriz, and to find practical solutions to improve and reduce energy consumption in residential units in region 4 of Tabriz city. . The present research is of applied type in terms of its purpose and qualitative-quantitative in terms of its nature and research method. The qualitative part includes the identification of influential parameters in reducing the energy consumption of urban housing in the 4th district of Tabriz city by examining the theoretical and theoretical bases of the research and conducting a Delphi analysis with the participation of 15 experts of doctoral students, experts of the Road Housing and Urban Development Department of Tabriz and housing experts, university professors as panel members. In the quantitative part, using the structural equation analysis model, the type of components has been determined according to the influence and effectiveness on other components. Based on the results obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis model, all the manifest indicators have a strong relationship between their hidden variables; So that the household composition indicators include the age of the head of the household, the number of family members aged 7 or less, the number of family members aged 21 to 8, the number of family members, the number of family members aged 22 to 59, the number of family members aged 60 and over. have given.
