ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

Architecture Design

We apply passive design strategies for ventilation, cooling and heating through the interior elements of the project that evolves around efficient lighting, acoustic, design energy performance calculations including green material selection and vegetation.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

landscape design

Our outdoor space designs interweaves the beauty of materiality and local greenery to achieve the optimum landscaped solutions taking into consideration the water consumption from irrigation and the microclimatic influence of the ambient environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

building energy
performance

We conduct an audit for the energy demands in buildings and urban areas using simulation runs to reduce the building operation costs from mechanical ventilation and usability demand that avoids further environmental impacts.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

post occupancy
evaluation

We study existing urban projects and buildings according to the microclimatic and user comfort analysis to diagnose problematic areas such as IAQ, OAQ, urban hotspots and thermal comfort analysis. The evaluation reports are used to improve the investments of future projects through an optimum performance and sensible environmental impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

micro climatic & Thermal comfort analysis

We conduct a thermal analysis for new urban areas, buildings and green space related projects to detect solar gains and wind flow patterns to inform the outdoor and indoor design. We use digital simulation tools and environmental monitoring data to generate knowledge that is then tailored to communicate with different clients and designers. Also, we predict thermal comfort inside buildings and in outdoor spaces to aid design narratives according to the optimum operation schedule and user’s analysis. Our design recommendations integrate the thermal, visual and/or acoustic parameters of each project.

ENVIRONMENTAL research ​

walkability

The track investigates various built environments according to its climatic conditions and urban parameters which defer walkability. Previous explorations were conducted in hot cities UAE, KSA and Egypt. The interconnectedness between the social and environmental parameters is used to signify the urban design attributes needed to promote walking. Researches focuses on mainly three tracks, dynamic thermal sensation, thermal environment on human perception, and commercial viability of the area.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

Environmental Research Methodologies

The track focuses on utilizing various methods and techniques using digital and physical tools to explore the environmental parameters of the outdoor environments, the indoor environments and the relation between them. Microclimatic simulation, building performance tools and environmental monitoring is used to develop methods that overcome the gaps in each method.

ENVIRONMENTAL research ​

climate change

This track aims to downscale the effects of climate change to a user and street level through analyzing different thermal comfort scenarios. Heat rise effect in Egypt was analyzed referring to eight cities at the various climatic zones to identify thermal stress levels that meet with the SDG goals 2030. We analyze the past and future projections of the outdoor thermal comfort to highlight the mitigation and/or adaptation strategies needed to fight the warming of cities. Researches focuses on thermal comfort and the built environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

urban design

We design urban masterplans that offer equitable, efficient, and environmentally performative settings to their inhabitants. Our design objectives always considers the dialogue between the open spaces, green areas and optimized building layouts to improve the microclimatic conditions of the surrounding
