Abstract

 The research has studied the relationship between the quality of thermal
comfort in the outdoor spaces of the residential urban clusters on the quality of
thermal comfort in the indoor spaces in order to provide a proposed approach for
the designs of the outdoor spaces that work to raise the thermal comfort efficiency
of the indoor spaces overlooking them, by studying the extent of the impact of these
design variables on the thermal comfort in the outdoor urban space , by measuring
the predictive average value of PMV as an indicator of outdoor thermal comfort,
that is by using the results of previous studies to measure the thermal comfort of
the external spaces of buildings through the inputs of climatic determinants and
urban variables such as the geometric shape and orientation of the building block
with the fixation of the other influential urban factors, by conducting a simulation
using ENVI- MET for the outdoor spaces of the commonly designed residential
urban clusters in the New Cairo area, and measuring the value of PMV as an
indicator of the thermal comfort value of the indoor spaces, using DESIGN
BUILDER for the indoor spaces, then comparing the results of the thermal comfort.
