Abstract

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the state of the city body in order to optimize energy consumption in Rashidiyeh neighborhood of Tabriz. According to its nature, the research method is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population consists of citizens living in Rashidiyeh neighborhood of Tabriz. The statistical sample size was calculated according to Cochran's formula of 384 people.
Examining the results of the sample T-Tech test shows that all three physical indicators of the neighborhood, including mass, passage, and open space indicators, were significant at a level of less than 0.05. In this context, the index of open space with an average of 3.32 is in an average condition, and two indicators of mass and roads are evaluated in poor condition with an average of 2.59 and 2.52, respectively. The reasons for this condition are the lack of installation of building blocks in the direction of wind and light, lack of access to services, improper exterior covering of buildings in order to reduce energy, use of poor quality materials, lack of design of roads for air conditioning in the city, obstruction the view pointed to the sky and residential density. Finally, Pearson's correlation showed that there is a relationship between the physical indicators of the neighborhood in optimizing energy consumption. The highest correlation is related to mass index with open space with a value of (0.785), which is considered a strong relationship
