This thesis examines the subject of how significant the impact of block placement-layout is in an urban area. We assume that, as cities grow, the impact of urban shape will become increasingly significant, despite the fact that less study has been conducted on this subject. We believe that the block location will influence the energy efficiency of a structure by altering solar radiation, wind movement, and other climatic elements. Methodologies are utilized in urban form and energy efficiency research. In this work, we combine simulation and prototyping techniques. In a metropolis like Tehran, urban form refinement will be approximately 290 times more significant than the construction of zero-energy structures as large as the United States and Canada. Our discussion will focus on the cost-to-performance ratio of the two situations. Zero-energy building construction versus urban form refinement. In this study, we intend to combine the simulation method with the prototype developing approach. This approach helps us to successfully preserve our results from intervening elements and parameters so we can exactly eva‎luate the impact of building block alignment on energy efficiency. In this article, 16 residential blocks with 15-by-15-meter square measurements are examined because it’s a common dimension in Tehran’s mid-rise apartments. Tehran was the examined city. The occupied area in all blocks is 20000 square meters. Since around 1970, when the energy crisis began, the effect of urban layout on energy consumption has been highlighted. The energy market fell in importance and entered a new phase after the year 2000, corresponding with the appearance of energy and environmental issues.
