Abstract

Based on the values of the electricity consumption in the residential stock in the Middle East it’s time to apply more and more sustainable strategies from the design stage by using advanced tools. It is our generation responsibility to improve the building design in order to reduce electricity consumption, therefore, to reduce CO2 emissions. Referring also to the SDG 11, UAE has done great effort in the green building sector. This study follows these efforts. This research evolves on the main points: active and passive strategies in a sustainable house in the United Arab Emirates. 1. Analyze the site selection (location, climate, microclimate), 2. Design Process, 3. Project progress: Active and Passive strategies, 4. Tools and resources, 5. Results. In conclusions, the aim of this study is to use the advanced tools available to explore the possibilities of active design strategy of sustainable house projects. In addition passive strategies are applied in order to have an economically sustainable building. The findings might help the industry to integrate advanced tools in early stages of design.
