Abstract: One of the humanities biggest concerns today is the environmental pollution and its consequences for the future. Since one of the main sources of this problem is the building industry so more attention in designing process will cause an impressive difference in measures of pollution arising from this industry so it is architects, as designers and owners of buildings, responsibility to reduce the amount of energy used by the buildings and following that the amount of pollution produced by the energy usage. One of the ways to recommend solutions for designing a zero energy hotel is to compare the buildings that have been implemented and evaluate the solutions that each one have applied in order to reduce the energy consumption . The method that was used in this article was case study method using internet references and also data collected from published articles about zero energy touristic accommodations. This case study is pursuing architectural approaches for restricting energy uses. Since solutions for cold climates are desirable by comparing these two accommodations which were both placed in cold climates, many beneficial methods for designing an energy efficient building was earned
