Sustainable Adaptation Climate of Traditional Buildings Technologies in the Hot Dry Regions

Abstract

Traditional architecture has been successful in achieving harmony between housing and the environment, which is one of the most important conditions for sustainability. The research tried to study and analyze the traditional architecture to diagnose its importance and ability to solve contemporary problems. In order to achieve this aim, we conduct an empirical study of five regions of the hot dry climate, focusing on the urban fabric and dwelling projects. Analytic studies were performed using computer simulations by Ecotect software. The research concludes the effective indicators in the traditional urban fabric and employed it in many of housing clusters in hot dry regions.
