Innovative Approaches in Civil Engineering for Mitigating the Adverse Effects of Climate Change and Reducing Energy Consumption: A Case Study in Tehran City

Climate change and increasing energy consumption in buildings have become one of the major challenges for cities. This article examines innovative solutions in civil engineering to reduce energy consumption and counter the adverse effects of climate change in Tehran city. According to statistics, the average energy consumption in residential, commercial, industrial, and administrative buildings is ۱۲۰, ۲۸۰, ۵۵۰, and ۱۶۰ kilowatt-hours per square meter, respectively.In the section on innovative solutions, the use of green technologies, building optimization, and upgrading energy systems are highlighted. This includes installing renewable energy generation systems, optimizing building designs, and using smart systems for energy management.In the case study of Tehran city, an analysis of the current energy consumption situation and strengths and weaknesses in existing energy systems has been conducted. According to statistics, in ۲۰۲۰, there were ۱۲۰ green buildings and ۲۵ sustainable schools in the city, which increased to ۱۸۰ green buildings and ۳۵ sustainable schools in ۲۰۲۲.As a result, implementing innovative solutions in civil engineering can help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in Tehran city while improving the environment and quality of life for its residents.
