An analysis of urban features on energy consumption at neighborhood scale / Ali Soltani and Mehrnaz Mehraein

There has been a growing interest in discovering the human effects on environment and energy consumption in recent decades. It is estimated that the energy required for transportation and housing are respectively, 20percent and 30percent of total energy consumption. Furthermore, the residential gre...

Two residential districts in Shiraz, south of Iran, were selected as case study areas. In order to achieve this goal, statistical analysis is utilized. Correlation analyses in linear regression were conducted to investigate the strength of each factor on energy consumption.
