Abstract
Energy efficiency has become an important consideration within urban development. Both the architectural and planning professions are beginning to explore ways to increase the energy efficiency of new development and the existing urban landscape. It is necessary when trying to use energy efficiency as a major consideration in urban development to develop a systematic analytical and design system on which all proposals can be based. Because urban design deals with the overall design of an area and combines many aspects of the various disciplines engaged in urban development, incorporating energy efficiency as a major design consideration into the discipline would mean that awareness of energy efficiency would become a part of every stage of the development process. It is the purpose of this paper to explore potential methods allowing energy efficiency to become part of urban design.
