Abstract:

Building skins have become an expression of the unique forces that are defining their context, either tangible such as weather conditions or intangible, such as social and cultural heritage. Egypt is currently experiencing excessive importation of Western technology and design concepts in architecture due to the desire of rapid development accompanied by social and political changes, threatening its culture and causing an identity crisis. Nowadays, office building design in Egypt adopts the design principles of fully glazed western buildings that were built for different environmental conditio

The facade's configuration in hot arid areas is predicted to be responsible for up to 40% of the building's cooling loads. The increasing reliance of public buildings in Cairo on air conditioning systems indicates the failing role of the building envelope to perform its function as a moderator leading to an alarming increase in electricity consumption. Office buildings in Cairo consume 5-7% of the total national energy consumption. The need to reduce energy consumption in this sector targets benefits of reductions of electricity bills to building owners as well as reducing C02 emissions from t

Double skin façades (DSFs) are gaining recognition as a technology that, while giving a modern transparent appearance to buildings, have the capability to moderate the indoor thermal conditions and the potential to reduce energy demands. A typical DSF consists of an additional fully glazed external skin installed over the conventional building façade forming an air cavity in which sunshade devices are often installed to prevent overheating in the internal rooms. The majority of the existing studies on DSF are based on air-conditioned models under temperate climate conditions, where most DSFs a

Abstract:

Many plant species, including Barrel Cacti, have developed long-term evolutionary adaptable traits to survive in extreme climates. The most important trait of cacti in extreme hot dry climates is to reduce water evaporation and increase water storage. The exterior skin of a cactus plays an important role in preventing water evaporation through heat transmission. On the other hand, there have been many passive design strategies applied to the space planning and building design of architecture in hot dry climates. The goal of these passive design strategies is to regulate the penetration of heat

Abstract:

Predmet istraživanja načelno se odnosi na razmatranje koncepta dvostrukih ventilisanih fasada (DVF) i njihov uticaj na energetsku efikasnost objekta. Ovaj koncept predstavlja jedan od primera adaptivnih fasada. Plan istraživanja zasnovan je na eksperimentalnom radu (na realnom objektu) i na numeričkim simulacijama modela objekta. Rezultati eksperimentalnog dela istraživanja pokazuju na koji način zavise termičke osobine objekta sa DVF od trenutnih meteorolo&scaron;kih uslova. Takođe, ovi rezultati poslužili su za fino pode&scaron;avanje modela i za postizanje &scaron;to vernije slike realnog o

Abstract:

The subject of diploma project is the design of complex of buildings using hemp lime composite, in English known as Hempcerete. Four detached houses are completed by building of facilities. Buildings have one to three floors. The composite fiercly reduces carbon footprint in building industry. The design is focused on different construction systems using hemp lime composite as a wall filling. Detached houses are made of load bearing timber frame with cast-in-situ hempcrete, building of facilities is made of reinforced concrete with precasted blocks. All buildings are cellarless. Detached house

Abstract:

This Master's thesis "Multi-function building" deals with a project of new multi-function building. It is in a stage of project documentation. An object is design as a detached house. The house is slab-on-ground with four stories. In the object are designed 8 flats with 7 garages. In the first story is situated a wellness centre and an office. The roof is flat, projected as single-skin. A carrier system is made from sacrificial formwork system. A construction of a ceiling is projected as ribbed floor. Windows and entering doors are plastic, interior doors are wooden. A part of work is a specia
