“…Hijleh [116] examined the energy-saving potential of horizontal overhangs, vertical fins, horizontal louvers, and vertical louvers and found that the parameters of rotation angle and protrusion length were more important than the orientation of the facade. A. Ghosh and S. Neogi [117] summarized the interference of building geometric elements on energy consumption, and tailored an external shading system. The applicability of the new equipment was verified through three different climatic data.…”

As most countries have widespread and growing concerns about the sustainable development of society, the requirement to continuously reduce energy consumption poses challenges for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Performance-oriented architectural design and optimization, as a novel design philosophy and comprehensive evolution technology, has been accepted by architects, engineers, and stakeholders for a period of time. Performance in the context of architecture is a widely discussed definition that has long shown a correlation with visual and cultural attributes. Shifting the paradigm of sustainable development while ensuring that the function and aesthetics of the building are not overlooked has been the focus of public attention. Considering the core design elements that affect energy conservation and style performance, the design and optimization of building envelopes, form, and shading systems were selected as research materials. From the perspective of epistemology and methodology, a systematic review of 99 papers was conducted to promulgate the latest development status of energy-efficiency design. This paper manifests a detailed analysis of the design patterns, research features, optimization objectives, and techniques of current approaches. The review found that performance-oriented design optimization can benefit the entire industry from the heuristic knowledge base and the expansion of the design space while maintaining sustainability. In contrast, challenges such as tools, skills, collaboration frameworks, and calibration models are highlighted.

“…Therefore, applying the local identity is one of the most important issues to protect the heritage village's features, conserve the local traditions, and investigate the village regarding historical tourism purposes. Furthermore, climatic conditions must be taken into account when designing the heritage village in order to employ the local natural resources, such as solar design, shading strategies (Ghosh andNeogi 2018, Luo, Li et al 2018), and urban wind energy to provide efficient natural ventilation for the heritage village ( Stathopoulos, Alrawashdeh et al 2018). The design of Al-Qahad heritage village must take into account the local climatic conditions and the original urban and architectural identity.…”

This paper investigates and analyses the redesigning of a heritage village in the southern region of Saudi Arabia to determine the impact of sustainable design strategies and green open spaces for the village rehabilitation. Heritage village development is an important step to consider for sustainable urban planning and design due to its influence in urban development, the local economy, and historical conservation. Al-Qahad heritage village has been selected as the case study due to its involvement with different historical domestic buildings, military castles, and mosques and its location on the main highway between Albaha and other regions. Furthermore, this heritage village reflects in its urban identity the local environment, social culture, and local construction materials and vernacular architecture. The applied approach involved visiting Al-Qahad heritage village for (a) analysis of the site and environmental conditions, (b) mobility survey analysis, and (c) the application of urban sustainable design strategies for redesigning Al-Qahad heritage village. The site visit included a physical survey to determine the current condition of buildings regarding heights, conditions, land use, and construction materials used. The output of the study is to redesign the heritage village including suggesting some other urban facilities, such as a museum, hotel, and other social activities to attract visitors and rehabilitate the village. The study highlights the importance of many urban sustainable design strategies that can be applied in other heritage villages in Saudi Arabia to protect and conserve the historical buildings and invest in these facilities for tourism purposes. Saudi Arabia is a nation rich with heritage villages, which are found across the country especially in the southern region. The study concludes by offering several recommendations for developers and investors.

“…In turn, in order to increase the efficiency of shading systems for building windows in warm climates, controlled shading systems are used based on the variable arrangement of the blinds depending on the latitude, time of day, year and light demand [ 11 , 12 ]. Paper [ 13 ] shows that the use of such a system on the example of the Indian climate can reduce the costs of space cooling by 7.57%.…”

“…Modelling the thermal functioning of buildings and the installation systems contained in them is possible thanks to advanced software systems such as IDA ICE, described in [ 27 ], EnergyPlus™ [ 7 , 11 , 13 , 19 , 35 , 36 ] and MatLab [ 25 ], enabling the analysis of the functioning of the building and its individual parts and partitions according to available climatic data before and after PCM modification. The results of modelling the heat demand of a building on the basis of meteorological data using the Wiener process are described in [ 37 ].…”

The article presents the results of multi-month field tests and numerical analyses describing the thermal functioning of mobile shading systems for building windows containing a phase-change heat accumulator. The experiments were conducted in the summer period with temperate climate conditions in Rzeszów (Poland). The tested shading system was dedicated to the daily life cycle of residents, taking into account both the need to illuminate the rooms with natural light and reducing the undesirable overheating of the rooms in the summer. The obtained empirical results showed a reduction in room overheating in the summer period by 29.4% from composite windows with a phase-change heat accumulator and a mobile shading system as compared to the reference composite window with an analogous mobile shading system. The database of empirical results allowed for the creation and verification of a numerical model of heat conversion, storage and distribution within the composite window containing phase change material and a mobile shading system. The verified model made it possible to analyse the thermal functioning of the modified transparent partitions in cool temperate, temperate and subtropical climates. The article is a solution to the problem of undesirable overheating of transparent building partitions by efficient storage and distribution of solar radiation energy thanks to the use of a mobile shading system and a phase change material, while presenting a useful tool enabling the prediction of energy gains in different climatic conditions.
