Abstract
Aims: In recent years, the increase in the number of construction projects in cities has led to an increase in the demolition of buildings that still have a useful life. Early demolition causes various damages in all dimensions and as a result reduces stability, especially in developing countries. The present study has tried to explain the modernization and adaptation of a system based on sustainable architecture in the Karaj Iron Foundry.
Methods: This research is a qualitative type with an inductive strategy that uses documentary studies and field collection in data collection and uses coding methods to reduce and analyze data. The potential of the Karaj Melting iron factory has been determined based on the ARP method. In the last step, the Shannon coefficient is used to verify the results for each dimension.
Results: According to the results, the highest Shannon coefficient is related to rules, regulations, and the lowest is related to decorations. The contemporization of an industrial space is something that will occur in the context of its design. But this emphasis is caused by placing collective and human spaces in the background of industrial spaces.
Conclusion: The visitor should draw a clear and appropriate picture of the site in the past. Finally, this study has provided solutions to improve the current situation of construction and prevent the demolition of buildings that have a useful life in the Karaj Iron Foundry, which has considered maintenance, adaptation, and modernization as an important cause of these demolitions.

Abstract
Aims: Sustainability assessment systems are an important tool for measuring and managing actions taken in architectural works. The main goal of the research is to measure the efficiency of the DGNB system in management and programming the architectural interventions in the Karaj Iron Foundry.
Methods: descriptive-analytical research method is adopted in the article. The method of data collection is archieve documentary. the Karaj Iron Foundry as a shared heritage of Iran and Germany is selected as case study of the reserch. The monument was built by famous German, Austrian, Italian, Swiss, etc. architects between World War I and World War II, and it is worth considering as a world heritage site.
Findings: The findings of the research in the Karaj Iron Foundry based on the DGNB system indicate that the environmental quality with 20% influence on the sustainability is in the first place, the economic quality is in the second place with 17.9%, and the social quality is in the second place. Cultural and functional quality with 16.7% stand in third place, technological quality with 15.3% stands in fourth place, process quality with 15.2% stands in fifth place and finally site quality with 15% stands in sixth place.
Conclusion: The results indicate the efficiency of the DGNB rating system in programming an action framework for the Karaj Iron Foundry. Therefore, it is possible to recommend the adoption of this sustainability evaluation system in managing the action process in other valuable works of contemporary heritage and industrial architectural heritage.
