摘要

The rising demand for energy and the accompanying economic pressures, combined with the negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting climate change, necessitate immediate action to mitigate future consequences. As a result of rapid urbanization fueled by population growth and economic development, many West Asian nations have neglected environmental considerations and sustainable strategies. As a consequence, complex environmental challenges have emerged, and the region faces significant risks from climate change, which threatens ecosystems, economies, and infrastructure dependent on natural resources. This research aims to develop standards and strategies for climate adaptation in West Asian nations that prioritize energy efficiency and a low-carbon approach. Examining the influence of region-specific climatic factors and exploring traditional local technologies used for climate effect control, as well as evaluating their compatibility with modern approaches, are essential components. The research methodology employed here focuses on learning from the past to improve energy utilization practices in modern architecture. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive review of prior research that examined the development and improvement of techniques and strategies to improve the thermal performance of buildings, thereby advancing energy efficiency. The research outcomes address the existing gaps in climate adaptation standards and guidelines for thermal comfort in West Asia, demonstrating the potential for significant energy savings in future housing compared to existing homes. The projected energy savings for the five climate zones of West Asia are approximately 80% during winter and 60% during summer. In addition, the study presents green design strategies and energy-efficient methods tailored specifically for West Asian arid regions with high temperatures. However, additional research is required to simulate the energy performance of each technology in order to fully comprehend their energy efficiency potential.
