The using of generative algorithm aided design tool (rhinoceros grasshopper ladybug)‎ to control solar access in urban street of hot-arid climate (Ouargla)‎ hot-arid climate (Ouargla)‎

Abstract EN

Solar Control is a major factor for thermal condition in built forms.

The intention of this study is to develop a parametric approach of generative algorithm aided design (Rhinoceros-Grasshopper-Ladybug) that examines and evaluates the effect of street geometry, on solar radiation on ground surface of urban street.

In order to achieve this aim a model of contemporary urban street will be analyzed.

The investigation was conducted during summer period (21st Juin-21st September) in city of Ouargla (Algeria) characterized by hot dry climate.

The results reveal that a number of useful relationships can be developed between the geometrical parameters of urban street dimensions, and solar radiation on ground surfaces of urban street.
