Considering the importance of applying the new energies in contemporary architecture and paying attention to the urgent need for efficient use of energy in our country today, this project is proposed to improve the quality of life, on the one hand, and to provide signs and patterns for the future life, on the other hand. This project is the first real experience of green architecture in Iran with clean energy being used at all levels of the building architecture. Reducing fossil energy by using solar panels, wind turbines, Geo-thermal system, recycled water, and double skin facade are some examples. All units are intended to have their own cultivable green yards that will be irrigated mechanically. Green roof for the residents and a linear park with a bike path in height, that can also serve the people in the area, exist in this project, as well. Intelligent “BMS” system for each residential unit, a winter garden on the north side floors of both towers and storage in the basement with an easy access from the central core, are the other features of all units on each floor of Kowsar green residential towers.
