Abstract

 Climatic data analysis aims at deciphering the different environmental
factors that architects face when designing a building at a certain location.
However, these factors can be magnified or diminished by other natural settings
such as topography and surrounding landscape. In this work, the different
environmental and natural factors affecting the city of Hurghada are analyzed and
various design strategies are evaluated, with the aim of obtaining the most efficient
design strategies for achieving thermal comfort. The resulting strategies can be
used by architects and decision-makers when assessing the different building
design options for future development projects in the city of Hurghada.
