Reducing Cooling Energy Demand in Saudi Arabian Residential Buildings Using Passive Design Approaches
In Saudi Arabia’s hot and arid climate, residential buildings account for over half of national electricity consumption, with cooling demands alone responsible for more than 70% of this use. This paper explores the hypothesis that contemporary villa designs are inherently inefficient and that curren...
