Abstract
Research, in the field of studying the effect of orientation on the ambient
temperature of residential buildings, is still in its early phases despite the
leaps made by studies and experiments. Most climatic studies focused on
studying residential buildings as to: orientation, building materials use,
thermal behavior, etc. This was done by theoretical studies and few on-site
measurements. Studying orientation of residential buildings by simulation
is rare in the Arab world.
The present generation of climatic design tools should rely more on digital
presentation by computers, in order to aid designers make sound design
decisions based on visible results. Thus, the computer carries out all
calculations relieving designers from their heavy burden.
Due to the scarce use of simulation software in the climatic assessment of
residential buildings; the study aims at studying the effect of orientation on
the thermal performance of spaces in residential buildings at New Assiut
City, Egypt.
To achieve this aim, the research is done by the analytical and applied
methods, using the simulation software Thermal Analysis Software, from
the climatic analysis of New Assiut City - as well as identifying the
prevailing residential patterns, and detailed study of the selected
residential building, identifying the software used, and analyzing the
simulation results for ambient room temperatures of the cold and hot
periods - for different orientations of the selected model. The research ends
with a number of results and recommendations. Such results may be
applied in hot desert areas.
