Abstract

 Since ancient prehistoric generations, renewable resources have been utilized
in buildings to work with building needs like light, ventilation, and thermal
comfort. The need for shade in summer and sunshine in winter is required for
the architecture of the past. Bioclimatic architecture is the concept of designing
or redesigning buildings depending on the country’s climate, for the purpose of
improving thermal comfort using local environmental resources and benefits of
the local climate.
Converting academic buildings into sustainable buildings has been vital in
the research and policy focus for years, with the focus on the united nations
sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Education for Sustainable
Development. Building design and practices play an important role in
converting universities into places of sustainable learning, behavior, and space.
Previous research has mentioned the concept of sustainable buildings
tremendously. The parts of the paper use a case study approach that focuses on
Redesign Existing university in Smart village Giza, Arab Academy for Science
Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) which is located in smart village
Cairo-Alexandria desert road, one of the most famous information technology  industry places located in the western urban area of Greater Cairo. This paper
consists of three sections: A, B, and C. The first section mentions the climatic
data analysis of the academic building, the Second section evaluates the
academic building, and finally, the third section gives ideas to redesign it with
the help of sustainable Architecture techniques, in addition, gives an opportunity
to adapt to climate constraints combined with ideas of passive design and green
building concepts.
