الفناء الداخلي ودوره في تفعيل البعد الاستدامي للمباني السكنية بالمناطق الحارة

Abstract EN

The courtyard is one of the main important elements in religious or civil architecture, especially residential buildings, throughout nearly the ages, and it has continued to be used in all hot and cold regions despite the different environmental, social, religious and cultural influences, which indicates its success as an architectural solution that fulfills various functional needs as the courtyard is in its middle building or wrapping the building elements around it an integrated functional, environmental and social system.

in the modern era, the use of the yard was neglected in most public and residential buildings, and some solutions used for the courtyard came as an architectural element in order to give design glimpses away from the philosophy and concept of the courtyard as an organized heart of the building where the person resorts in hot arid zone and especially areas in the summer, mechanical means such as air conditioning inside buildings to achieve the highest thermal efficiency in the building, thus increasing energy consumption.

then the courtyard lost its desired role within the environmental system of the building, especially residential ones of all kinds.

the research problem appears in the great decline in the exploitation of the courtyard houses, especially in residential buildings and a clear lack of extrapolation to him in terms of his treatment of climatic and social conditions especially at the present time despite the increase in global warming, and therefore the research importance lies in showing the role of the yard in achieving the efficiency of the thermal performance of residential buildings and ensuring their sustainability, and therefore the research aims to establish standards and foundations for the design of the courtyard in residential buildings in hot regions to raise the efficiency of this thermal performance in an integrated system with several other elements, such as the morgue, the sheikh, the building materials, the proportions of the openings, and its correlation with the environmental, social, cultural, as well as economic dimensions, in order to achieve the sustainable dimension, and therefore the research follows the descriptive approach by studying a descriptive study of the historical aspect of the emergence of the courtyard and its environmental and social dimensions and values of its appearance in residential buildings in hot areas, passing through the curriculum comparative analysis by analyzing some local models in which the use of the yard has led to the achievement of efficiency in thermal performance in order to achieve the hypothesis of the research, which stipulates that if a design strategy for the courtyard is developed in residential buildings in hot regions, its role in residential buildings of all kinds will be improved, leading to results research represents the link between foundations and standards of environmental design and investigation s the sustainable dimension in our modern cities, and the research ends with future recommendations to achieve improvement and raising the efficiency of thermal performance in residential buildings in hot arid zone to achieve the sustainable dimension.
