دراسة تأثير النظام المطور للبناء في المملكة على الأداء الحراري للمباني السكنية في مدينة الرياض بالمملكة العربية السعودية

الملخص AR

Building regulations are one of the important tools that improve urban environment due to
their rules and standards which control the relationship between buildings within their urban
pattern.

Riyadh city is characterized by it's hot and dry climate, which requires compatible
climatic treatment with its desert environment.

The compact pattern of traditional buildings of
Riyadh constituted a good example of the compatibility and adaptation of the building with its
surrounding environment, starting from the layout of the building and ending by its
relationship with the surrounding urban pattern.

The changes in the size of the urban
development has led to import building regulations from different environments that has
different climate of Riyadh.

As a result, the imported building regulations caused negative
impacts to thermal performance of residential buildings in Riyadh and consequently the
energy consumption has witnessed a dramatic increase.

The developed building regulation which was released in 2018, has made several
modifications to the previous building regulation in terms of the rear and side setbacks of
building's first floor.

So, it is of great importance to evaluate this building regulation to
investigates its impacts on the thermal performance of buildings.

The main aim of this
research is investigating the impacts of the developed building regulation on the thermal
performance of residential buildings in Riyadh.

The methodology adopted for achieving the aim of this research consists of two phases.

First,
a literature review was conducted to investigate the development of urban growth and
building regulations in Riyadh.

Second, residential buildings energy simulation was carried
out to examine the impacts of the developed building regulation on the thermal performance
residential buildings.

At the end, the study come up with some results and recommendations
that will contribute to boost environmental aspects in buildings regulations and improve
residential building's thermal performance in Riyadh city.
