| Abstract | ||||
| This study investigates methods to eradicate energy poverty in Cairo by utilizing piezoelectric tiles. Energy poverty is a widespread problem in developing countries like Egypt, where many citizens cannot afford or access reliable electricity. Conventional electricity generation methods are inadequate for meeting the escalating energy needs of cities such as Cairo. Piezoelectric tiles offer a novel and promising solution to this issue. The research primarily focuses on assessing the feasibility of implementing these tiles in specific areas of Cairo, such as densely populated streets and public spaces, to alleviate energy poverty. The study concludes that piezoelectric tiles can potentially eliminate energy poverty and promote sustainable development in Cairo. The previous statements were achieved through a combination of methods, including a literature review of related research and an analysis of piezoelectric tile implementation case studies to determine their electricity-saving potential. The anticipated outcome is that these tiles will generate sufficient electricity for daily use. | ||||
