Dissertation Research topic: Enhancing Outdoor Thermal Comfort and Optimizing Indoor Energy
Consumption Performance of an Existing Urban Community.
- Done by compiling and simulating climate sensitive sustainable development designs with
focus on comfort, optimization, efficiency and consumption of resources.
- Significant findings include a reduction of 16.6 degrees Celsius in air temperature, through
the introduction of passive design strategies. The overall changes in the environment
resulted in a total saving in energy consumption of 2, 091 MWh per year for this villa. This
cost saving of 624, 6 AED for the year amounts 4, 5% saving on the total consumption.
