Architecture plane form is an important consideration in the design of green buildings due to its significant impact on energy performance. The most effective method to consider energy performance in the early design stages is parametric modelling. This paper presents a methodology to program plane forms using MATLAB language, generating 16 kinds of plane forms by changing four designed parameters. DesignBuilder (an energy consumption simulation software) was proposed to simulate the energy consumption of the generated planes. A regression mathematical model was established to study the relationship between the plane forms and their energy consumption. The main finding of the study suggested that there was a cubic function relationship between the depthratio of Ushaped buildings and energy consumption, and there is also a cubic function relationship between the widthratio and energy consumption. In the design, the depthratio of Ushaped buildings should not be less than 2.5, and the widthratio should not be less than 2.
