Cairo in Egypt, Africa was selected as site location because of the renowned passive architecture design strategies which have been applied since the ancient times. Natural ventilation, passive solar strategies, thermal mass, and evaporative cooling are the main strategies that will be used in this project. Mashrabiya, malqaf, and shuksheika were modified and applied in the building. After the model was simulated, compared to any other strategies, thermal mass and evaporative cooling have a higher impact to enhance thermal comfort. Cairo has unique weather conditions due to its location near the desert, but Nile river nearby helps to provide humidity. Stage of building design to achieve better performance building consists of several phases. First, understand weather condition, analyzing vernacular architecture in the region, designing the architectural idea, simulating the model in the software, analyzing the result, and lastly is decide the best alternative design and materials.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Alternative designs,Building projects,Evaporative cooling,Natural ventilation,Passive architecture designs,Passive design strategies,Passive solar strategies,Vernacular architecture[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Building performance,Passive design architecture,Thermal comfort[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This study was one of the Author assignment in Building Design in Different Climate Course, Master of Science in Sustainable Building Technology Program at University of Nottingham, UK.
