Considerable increase of urban population and subsequent change of consumption pattern, increased impacts on natural environments and its resources and faced governments with energy challenge which is one of the most complex challenges that human beings had ever faced. Optimizing energy consumption is an appropriate solution but an issue of sustainable city was always among subjects which only result in general list of sustainability criteria. Previous definitions and studies about limited aspects (i.e. efficiency of energy, transportation, etc.) had not provided valid answers to sustainability of the city about efficiency of energy consumption and advantages of public transportation and urban facilities. Although various studies were performed about orders of applications, buildings and optimization of energy consumption, it had not observed in our country. The scientists held a conference in 2003 by the subject of decreasing energy consumption in cities and providing basic techniques to present a set of national standards for place and design of neighborhood units as per the condition of smart principles of modern urban construction and green construction. The main purpose of this endeavor was compiling standards to assess and encourage successful environmental experiments in LEED evaluation framework. This study compared some of LEED criteria in Orumiyeh city to evaluate amount of energy consumption in Asgarkhan district which is one of the old and organic districts of this city and then tried to provide appropriate and operable techniques for decreasing energy consumption in urban level.
