Different building configurations were tested through the study to test the effect on energy consumption for cooling and heating. The study compared the traditional buildings with the modern buildings in Jordan. Eighty vernacular buildings were studied in different climatic regions in Jordan classified according to four major building variables; form, orientation, materials, and used shading devices. An energy simulation program for building (DEROB-LTH) was used to analyze the parametric design elements on energy consumption incorporated with thermal comfort in architectural space. The study developed a model for applying different design criteria in different climatic regions in Jordan that highly prioritizes energy consumption in buildings with great consideration of building forms.
