Sustainability Studies: External shading device strategy Why this strategy?
Research :
Ballet Dance School located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As I am designing a Ballet School, What needed are: 1- Classes full with daylight and avoid direct sunlight especially on south façade. 2- Stable and cool temperature so reducing the solar gain will be effective.
Energy efficiency Well-designed sun control and shading devices can dramatically reduce building peak heat gain and cooling requirements and improve the natural lighting quality of building interiors. Sun control and shading devices can also improve user visual comfort by controlling glare and reducing contrast ratios. This often leads to increased satisfaction and productivity.
So, as a result, External shading devices play a critical role in reducing unwanted solar heat gain, especially during summer in temperate climates. Shading devices work rstly by restricting unwanted direct solar radiation through windows. Secondly they assist by reducing the direct heating of walls. External shading devices are the most effective way to control solar heat gain.
Average Weather in Riyadh Saudi Arabia
In Riyadh, the summers are long, sweltering, and arid; the winters are cool and dry; and it is mostly clear yea round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 9°C to 43°C and is rarely below 5°C or above 45°C.
Adaptive Comfort Graph:
most of the year is hot with high temperature above the comfort range. Months should avoid Solar Heating: Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, and Nov. Months need Solar Heating: Jan, Feb, and Dec.
Advantages / Disadvantages • Reduces the need for air conditioning • Considerably more effective at reducing solar gain than internal blinds. • Higher cost to retroot than internal blinds. • Can impact on occupant views. Horizontal & vertical Devices: External solid or perforated shade devices such as panels mounted on the outside of the building. Provide effective shading on the south facade when the sun altitude is high. • let reflected light penetrate the glazing • dissipate heat absorbed by the shades.
Sun path Study and the Average temperature:
The shading device will give the best results if it’s optimized according to the sun path, solar angle, in order to keep the summer heat away and winter sunshine in. It is an educational institution so the work starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. the sun Azimuths = 43 Depth = Height / Tan (45) = 5.5/tan (43) = 6 m P=Depth/ P=Depth/Height = 5.5/0.9 = 6 m

PAVILION
Creative Shadow
Pavilion and entertainment area near to children’s hospital. In order of the lack of clouds in Riyadh climate, the children can’t play the game of “Finding shapes in clouds” so the concept of the pavilion is creating the shapes by shadows on its floor (inside it) by building a complicated mesh. The floor material allows children to draw on it with chalk. ventilation and lighting took into consideration for a cleaner and better environment. Also, one main entrance to control the children’s safety.

COMMERCIAL PROJECT Cubic Structure
Project Brief:
The aim of the project is to create a Mixed-use community to apply one of the ten principles of Smart Growth in Riyadh, in order to get more benefits from the spaces, less transportation cost, no un-employment crisis as well as no economic problems. in the early stages of the project, we created a new regelation to match the new idea and also aimed to use sustainable materials and strategies.
Location: AlNada District, Riyadh, KSA Area: 1000 m2 Year: 2017 Company: University (Group work of 2 Students)
Sol LeWitt’s Cubic-Modular Structure Used to have spaces divided by columns, but opened to each other by manipulating the walls inside. In each floor, rooms are opened to each other to support connection between areas while the structure draw the divisions between them. Also, the structure allows expansion in the future if needed by cube addition.
Cables Structure According to mixed used community concept we aimed to add spaces to existed buildings to share different spaces. Cable structure will support the idea of having holden office added to the top of our house. so the office won’t depend on the house`s structure. the case study for this structure is a bridge. we added 4 columns 0.40*0.40m to do a tension on the cables that hold the plate. the plate is 10*10m. We did a test for the structure after supporting it by beam trusses and columns in order to see the effect of different loads on it. the number of floors for the office is mainly two divided by mezzanine. we can extend the height of our office to 40m + the height of our house 6m = 46m which matches the previous regulations. (the edited regulations in previous stage).
POMPIDOU PARIS CENTER Stairs Structure According to the idea of holden office, we also designed the stairs to be holden by the plate of the main structure system.

Lighting: Curtain Wall at the Northern Side: Curtain wall used at the northern side of the office to benefit from the natural light. As shown in the figures, natural light will reach workplaces, galleries, and waiting area which will reduce the use of manufactured lightings as well as electricity. Having open spaces and a large curtain wall will support the sustainability and connection between spaces by lighting accessibility. Also, the strip openings at the other sides will add more lighting for the stairs and meeting room.
ventilation: Cross Ventilation by thin Openings: Two curtain walls are used on the northern side of the office. At the bottom of each one, there is a moveable glass that closes and opens by the use of a circular wheel. The idea was taken from Maison Devere “House of Glass�. Also, on the opposite side of the curtain wall, there are two thin openings at a higher level. the higher strips used to let unwanted hot air to go out of the office. this technique will reduce air-condition consumption. Also, it will support the eco-friendly environment and comfortable interior for workers and clients.
