In a glance, more than three billion people live in the rural areas of low and middle-income countries. In most cases, rural households have many unmet energy needs including cooking, lighting, heating, transportation, and telecommunication needs. Designing appropriate solutions to meet these needs requires an understanding of human, natural and engineered systems that drive village energy. The objective of this study is therefore to investigate energy demand patterns of households in rural communities and thereafter designing and Implementing Applied Rural Sustainable Development Model with the use of Renewable Energies in Iran.
