| Abstract | ||
| Since ancient prehistoric generations, renewable resources have been utilized in buildings to work with building needs like light, ventilation, and thermal comfort. The need for shade in summer and sunshine in winter is required for the architecture of the past. Bioclimatic architecture is the concept of designing or redesigning buildings depending on the country’s climate, for the purpose of improving thermal comfort using local environmental resources and benefits of the local climate. Converting academic buildings into sustainable buildings has been vital in the research and policy focus for years, with the focus on the united nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Education for Sustainable Development. Building design and practices play an important role in converting universities into places of sustainable learning, behavior, and space. Previous research has mentioned the concept of sustainable buildings tremendously. The parts of the paper use a case study approach that focuses on Redesign Existing university in Smart village Giza, Arab Academy for Science Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) which is located in smart village Cairo-Alexandria desert road, one of the most famous information technology industry places located in the western urban area of Greater Cairo. This paper consists of three sections: A, B, and C. The first section mentions the climatic data analysis of the academic building, the Second section evaluates the academic building, and finally, the third section gives ideas to redesign it with the help of sustainable Architecture techniques, in addition, gives an opportunity to adapt to climate constraints combined with ideas of passive design and green building concepts. | ||
