Abstract
The pace of daily life and its requirements are getting higher and are led by technology with its direct effects on the health of the individual. There is no doubt that its benefits are endless but its negative effects on the health of the user have become clear, to reduce the negative energy accompanying it to the lowest level by facing another positive energy that is superior to restore the balance first, and overcome it to be the dominant feature of space, the house is the most important place where individuals spend most of their time, which imposes on the designer not be specialized not only to the forms and relations but beyond to form the modern house itself with power to reset the balance of life in general. The house based on Islamic foundations is featured with great energy that has been reflected as positive energy on the residents which is necessitated studying to use in the formation of modern houses with energy. The problem of research was (a knowledge gap about the energy sources in the house according to the Islamic perspective and employment it in the contemporary house). The research aims to study the house in accordance with the Islamic perspective and its relation to energy and determine the elements of its composition and organization through a theoretical framework for the process of energy composition of the Islamic house and the revealing what is verified in contemporary production, the study concluded to depending on forming the house with energy since the beginning of the design process as one of the constants and at different horizontal and vertical levels of housing units because of their effectiveness in promoting the positive energy of the resident.
