Abstract :Nowadays, reducing energy consumption and coexistence with natural and climatic conditions in the region has become one of the most prominent architectural goals. As a result of the growing population and crisis created by rising energy demand, managing energy consumption patterns has become an essential component of sustainability. By recognizing Iran’s culture, customs, traditions, and climates, traditional Iranian architectures designed and built the constructions with the least use of non-renewable energy. Besides, simple and logical methods had provided the most use of renewable energy. As a result, this study explores the optimization of energy consumption in the housing sector through current native pattern designing in hot and dry regions, with a specific emphasis on the relevance of energy savings. The case study of this research is Lariha house. Its Building design style will examine such as wall thickness, placement, the height of internal structures, etc, and the elements used plants, porches, wind flow, etc., which directly influences optimizing energy usage.
