| Abstract | ||||
| The high people concentration of Egypt in area not exceeds by 6% from the area of Egypt has led to many, environmental, economic, and social problems. Therefore, establishment of sustainable urban development in Egyptian desert out of the crowded valley seems obligation or what we can call no choice. Due to the harsh nature of desert, these sustainable urban developments need big amount of energy to operate it. Egypt as one of the developing countries faces many crisis of energy production which eliminate establishment of these sustainable urban development. In the recent years, the concept of zero energy buildings has highly emerged as a new approach for sustainable buildings which depend on renewable energy resources, therefor the design of zero energy buildings ZEBs is proposed as an approach for sustainable urban development in Egyptian desert | ||||
