“…Numerous solutions can be implemented in this scenario, and a variety of alternatives, including passive design solutions, may be included in planning contemporary urban neighborhoods. However, despite extensive research on conventional passive design approaches that might aid in developing sustainable modern architecture and urban areas, such as [13,[15][16][17][18][19][20]22,23,41], no comprehensive study has yet concentrated on the hot, arid climate of the UAE or established a firm foundation in this area. Thus, this study aims to compare the old and new urban districts in the UAE (as an example of urban settings in a hot, arid climate) in order to assess traditional architecture's potential to improve the thermal conditions in hot areas.…”

Sustainable architecture is a key approach for creating sustainable cities and reducing the impact of climate change. In hot, arid regions, the passive design traditional architecture is known for its ability to provide comfortable indoor environments and outdoor shaded areas, in contrast to the use of energy-intensive air conditioners in a great deal of modern architecture. Thus, this research used a qualitative methodology based on ENVI-met software to study, investigate, and compare the thermal performance of two urban fabrics as case studies (traditional and modern districts) in the hot, arid climate of the United Arab Emirates. The thermal performance of the old urban districts was better than the new ones, with a lower maximum potential air temperature and an improvement in the level of thermal comfort, measured by a predicted mean vote. Moreover, it was found that enhancing the shade in the outdoor open areas in the modern district, mimicking the traditional passive design solutions, resulted in lower air temperature and PMVs. This research is expected to be one step among many towards creating sustainable, innovative modern architecture.
