Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7

Abstract

The use of new energies isinevitable in line with sustainable development plans due to environmentalpollution, global warming and the increasing use of fossil fuels. The use offossil fuels is associated with greenhouse gas emissions and thereby globalwarming as well as secondary impacts such as desertification and dust storms inthe Middle East including in Iran. The use of renewable energy is the bestsolution to avoid greenhouse gas emissions. Ahvaz City with a population ofabout 1338126 people and 3080.2 sunny hours per year is located in southwesternIran. Ahvaz is among the best locations for application of solar systems. This is an analytical research carried out by desk study method. The presentpaper aims at evaluating the use of solar energy as a strategy for sustainablearchitecture and intelligent buildings in Ahwaz.
