Sustainability, water efficiency, material properties, energy consumption, and the quality of indoor spaces are main criteria which confirm the proper function of a building in terms of optimal energy consumption. However, the role of residents and behavioral aspects in the consumption of energy and the decent application of energy standards are neglected. It is beyond doubt that the residents’ behavior is one of the most important factors in performance-based building design. Moreover, the individual mistakes, which most of the times cause energy dissipation, cannot be ignored. This research proposes "Integrated Interactive System" as a human-centered approach with the aim of minimizing energy consumption. A survey is conducted, and this system is evaluated as a case study in Tehran.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Advanced Journal of Social Science}, author={Zargar, Seyed Hossein and Dehghani Firouzabadi, Fatemeh and Zareie, Mojtaba and Khaghani, Saeid}, year={2019}, month={Nov.}, pages={109–121} }
