Enerji verimli konut: Bengazi Libya'da avlu konsepti ile

Housing is a critical societal concern with profound impacts on the well-being of individuals and communities. The location, design, and integration of homes within their surroundings significantly influence daily lives, health, safety, and future generations. Sustainable housing is a central focus, particularly in architecture, infrastructure engineering, and urban planning. In Libya, where over 50 percent of land is devoted to residential buildings, rapid urbanization and population growth have led to increased construction projects, particularly in housing. To address energy efficiency in housing, a study was conducted in Benghazi, where city expansion has led to increased demand for residential spaces. The research aims to highlight the current housing situation and introduce vernacular courtyard housing alongside energy-efficient standards. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed among residents in various districts. The study also explores how future housing projects in Benghazi should be designed and structured. The thesis delves into vernacular courtyard housing, energy-efficient design principles, and their relationship in the climatic context of Benghazi. The case study revealed a lack of essential energy-efficient elements in the city's housing, resulting in high energy consumption and uncomfortable living conditions. In summary, housing is pivotal for societal well-being, and sustainable housing practices, including energy efficiency, are vital. The research in Benghazi v underscores the need for more energy-efficient housing to improve the quality of life and address the city's growing housing challenges.
