Abstract EN
In Egypt, the gated communities had recently spread widely, and they have been a recent considerable worldwide interest.
Their characteristics facilitate applying their buildings’ environmental efficiency commitment, assessing their buildings, and imposing the environmental assessment within their submitted permits.
In Egypt, there is a need for such a step toward spreading the environmental assessment of buildings all over.
The research focused on a current problem in the way that the Environmental Assessment Methods of Buildings around the world deal with the spatial variables, as they deal with all buildings in any of the country’s regions with the same form even with their various spatial characteristics, except some few differences in some assessment items.
Likewise, the Egyptian assessment method of buildings, Green Pyramid Rating System (GPRS), was established to assess buildings for all various Egyptian regions, with some few differences in the energy assessment items’ requirements.
The research aims to spot a light on the possibility of including the spatial variables of different internal countries’ positions within an existing assessment method, GPRS.
That adaptation ensures the highest precision and fairness level in the environmental assessment results, and it ensures that the assessment requirements are ideal for the buildings they are assessing.
In Egypt, this adaptation may encourage the designers, especially of the gated communities to comply with the environmental assessment requirements, and to obtain their certificate without fearing the unfairness of results
