Abstract

With the industrialization of the world, energy resources need management more than anything else. Because today we live in an energy-dependent world, we need energy to generate heat and cold, to create light, to start car engines, to run factory gears, to harvest crops, and so on. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the need for efficiency of energy sources management in sustainable architecture was conducted. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method has been used to look at the concept of energy resources management and sustainable development and their relationship, to study renewable energy sources in Iran and to propose proposed solutions in this regard. The results show that energy management requires the presentation of policies by managers of a country and also requires public education at the community level. Achieving sustainable development also requires access to sustainable energy sources that non-renewable energy and fossil fuels are not suitable sources in this regard due to unsustainability, but renewable energy will remain for future generations if used, unlike fossil fuels. They will not lead to pollution and global warming. Undoubtedly, by replacing renewable energies with non-renewable energies, the steps taken towards sustainable development will become stronger. In addition to these issues, the epidemic and the increase in the number of victims and victims of the Covid-19 virus, which led to the closure of oil fields, refineries, mines, etc., was another blow to the managers and officials of countries to find out more than ever the only solution to these problems is referring to renewable energy.

Highlights

  • Sustainable development means meeting the current needs of human beings without compromising the ability to satisfy the desires of future generations (Kotchen & Segerson, 2019)

  • In order to move towards sustainable development and conservation of natural resources, energy waste must be prevented as much as possible and renewable energy sources must be replaced as the main source of energy production

  • Global developments regarding the price fluctuations of non-renewable energy sources such as coal, oil and gas, as well as the oil crisis since the 1970s have shown the great importance of sustainable development for different countries of the world; The coronavirus crisis (19Covid), whose devastating effects on the international economy and the economies of countries will be more exposed later, has made the need to move and achieve sustainable development one of the priorities and requirements of various governments

Summary

Introduction

Sustainable development means meeting the current needs of human beings without compromising the ability to satisfy the desires of future generations (Kotchen & Segerson, 2019). Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability to meet the needs of future generations (Van Song & Phuong Thuy, 2006). Energy is an important and necessary factor to achieve sustainable development in any country, but the type of energy, technology used in production with energy consumption, etc. Pollutants from energy production or consumption have a negative impact on the environmental dimension of sustainable development, and finding a solution to reduce pollution in production by consuming the desired energy or even changing the choice and use of energy sources is very important (Hoang, 2019). While describing sustainable development, energy and its types, energy resources have been evaluated with criteria extracted from the literature. Expert Choice software has been used to speed up the research process and to achieve more accurate results
