TAQUA EDUCATIONAL CENTER ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

SINAI Sinai is located in the heart of the ancient world and occupies the north-east side of the Egyptain Arab Republic. It extends over approximately four degrees of latitude and more than two and a quartwe degrees of length, will an area of just over 61 thousand square km, which is equivalent to 6% of the area of Egypt The Sinai Peninsula has a triangle-like shape, with its base in the north on the Mediterranean Sea with a length of 210 km, while its head is located in the south at the confluence of the Gulf of the Suez and Aquaba at Ras Muhammad The maximum length of the Sinai between the Mediterranean Sea at Qallus and Ras Mohammed is 404km, and its maximum width between Taba and Port Tawfiq is 230km

GOVERNANCE The location of the Sinai Peninsula differs from the rest of the regions of Egypt in a location that has three coast surrounding it, as the Sinai Peninsula a Distinctive in a continues isolated and uninterrupted, continental land of Egypt. The Suez Canal has transformed the three coasts overlooking the Sinai into two separate coasts in the north and south to coasts into One connected area surrounds the peninsula from all sides except for the side overlooking the Egyptian Palestinian borders. Sinai is the only one region in Egypt where the dry land is intertwined with water. It is the most island region and the least continental. Sinai has the longest coast in relation to its area in Egypt.

During the winter, if it's raining outside the weave contracts and does not let the water come in, and with a small firre inside it remains warm, whereas during the summer, the fabric allows light and lots of ventiliation. The fabric can also be accented with neutral colors.

DUNES AS THE SHAPE OF CHOICE Location : the location played a hugh role in shaping the building. The architects used the most out of the shamal wind ( Northern wind) that occurs many times during the year. In other words the northern winds works as a cooling system. The position of the dunes : These dunes were built to provide the interiors with as much high quality daylight as possible. The process is done with avoiding the expose the glass surface from daylight.

BEEAH

At the central of the dunes forms an oasis-like courtyard. This provides a natural ventilation and maximise the indirect solor radition into the rooms further inside

100% GREEN ENERGY

BEEAH

Materials : not only should 100% green energy be used for construction, but the work is to be carried out almost exclusively with materials recycled from waste. Moreover, expanding the existing waste management center at the same time as construction. It also uses a lowtemperature, particulary eco-friendly process.

TAQUA EDUCATIONAL CENTER PRECEDENT STUDIES

All about efficiency The liquid waste, the end of life vehicle, and metal shredding are all processed efficiently by using the industrial and waste water lagoons. The construction of this headquarters will give an upgrade to all the previous factors.

BEEAH

In the milder months, its facade can be operated in a way that allows natural ventilation, minimising the need to cool the building, air conditioning is required, however, a special form of energy recovery will be used. This allows fresh air to flow into the rooms, with lower energy consumption, and removes the waste heat that would normally be released into the atmosphere by the cooling units. This waste heat will now be used to provide free hot water.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

GENERAL UNDERSTANDING / COOLING SYSTEM

THERMAL MASS

Thermal mass helps to store heat within the building structure and m,oderate fluctuations in the in the indoor temperature. This heat stroing capacity of building material helps in achieving thermal comfort for occupants by providing time delay. Hence, choosing approproate building materials can largely affect the level of comfort within buildings. To meet design parameters, selection of buidling materials hold utmost importance in modulating indoor temperatures and hence reducing conventional energy loads. Mass and density of a building material affects this heat storing capacity in buildings. High density materials such as concrete, bricks and stone have high thermal mass, while materials such as wood or plastics have low thermal mass. The efficacy depends on the placements of these elements with respect to direct irradiation of the sun.

GENERAL UNDERSTANDING / COOLING SYSTEM WATER

THERMAL MASS

Water-filled containers can be used as a mass substitue. Water has double the thermal storage capacity of concrete and heat absorption is substaintially higher because of convection within the container. Water can supply similar storage capacity to masonry with significantly less mass and bulk, making water a cost-effective mass option for upper storage.

SITE LOCATION

TUR SINAI

Tur Sinai, is a small city and the capital of the South Sinai Govermorate of Egypt. The name of the city comes from the Arabic term for the mountain where the prohet Moses recieved the Tablets of the Law from God: this mountain is designated Jabal Al Tor At-Tur itself appears to have been founded in the 13th century near the site of the ancient Raythou ( medieval Raya). The El Tor strain of cholera was discovered there in 1905. It was a quaratine camp for Muslim pilgrims returning form Hajj ( the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca). Several topographial-geomorphological features can be characterized when looking at the satellite image of the topography of Sinai, which is the mountain mass in the south , the plateaus, the Valley of the El Arish, and its basin in the middle, the lake of Bardoel and the Sea of Sand in the north. To make it easier to understand we will divide Sinai into three topographical areas, and these are: the topography of northern, the central and southern of Sinai

WIND FARM

TUR SINAI

This area of Sinai ( El Tur) faces the biggest wind farm in the middle east located in Egypt and named by the oil mountain wind farm. This area covers the western region of Sinai; this area goes along the coast of the Suez Gulf and covers an area of approximately 8000km

WIND ENERGY

TUR SINAI

Wind speed , direction and power differs from a month into another and from a season into another, as well as it differs within the same day. It is important and crucial to understand the wind to avoids its damages and benefit the most out of it. The wind could be used as a source of energy and by studying the wind speed and direction, we can understand the best seasons to generate energy. The yearly wind speed, direction and power in the northern of sinai is as following. The Northen Wind, which includes (Al-Arish, Bur Said, and Ismallia); the maximum average wind speed during the years of ( 1983-2020) on a height of 50m reached 4m/s in Ismailia and 4.9m/s in bur said, meanwhile the lowest wind speed was recored in Al-Arish, 2.5m/s The seasonal wind speed, direction and power of the northern of sinai is as following: The Northern Wind, which includes( Al-Arish , Bur Said , and Ismaillia): the maximum wind speed recorded in El Arish ( 2.7m/s) during fall, meanwhile the lowest wind speed was 2.1m/s during Spring

SOLAR ENERGY PLANT

TUR SINAI

El Tur is the best part of Sinai where you could harness the power of sun and turn it into other type of clean energy. This location is tend to have a similar climate characteristics to the Kuraymat and that is where the Hybrid power plant is located. The heat porduced by the solar radiation of the sun could be transformed into power such as electricity and other uses.

SOLAR ENERGY

TUR SINAI

The temperature in Sinai Peninsula generally rise during the summer months, meanwhile tends to decrease, or get warm during the winter months. The average maximum temperature in Sinai Peninsula between (31 C-37.8 C) and these were recorded during the months (June, July, August, and September) and then the months of (October,May and December) follows in terms of heat. Meanwhile, the months (December, January and February) recorded the lowest temperature. From this we can conclude the following: The sun heat will lose a lot of its temperature during its travel from the sun to earth. Due to the reflection, scattering and the amostpheric absorptions The hour of solar radiation increases from the north to the south during the year, and this is due to the number of hours of the sunshine which depends on the amount of clouds surrounding the earth Sinai Peninsula is located on the direct solar radiation.

TAQUA EDUCATIONAL CENTER MANFIESTO AND BRIEF

RENEWABLE ENERGY EDUCATIONAL CENTRE Looking at an environment like desert, so thinking how is it possible use that nature of the desert to produce a clean energy, whether it is electricity, heating and cooling systems or even water. And there are many ways such as turning the solar energy and wind power into clean energy but what caught my attention and fascinated me the most is that there is a beetle that evolved a way of harvesting its own freshwater in a desert and that is remarkable. So, the way it does that is that it comes out of its hiding place at night, it crawls to the top of sand dune. And then because it's got a map black shell and it's very lightweight, it;s able to radiate heat out of the night sky and becomes slightly cooler than its surroundings So the, when the moist breeze blows in off a sea, you get these little droplets of water forming on a beetle's shell. Jusst before the sun comes up , it dips it shell up, the water runs down to its mouth, and it has a good drinkn and goes off and hides for the rest of the day. That technique is quite inspiring, and i was like if i do my research related to this beetle and come up with something like produce fresh water in a desert like environment that could solve the issue of the lack of water in deserts. But morw importantly my research intentions are to solve the problems of climate change, landfill and pollution.
