Episode 3 of AESG’s #FutureFocus Series is out now! Our Director of Sustainable Engineering, Nicholas Byczynski, discusses the importance of #PassiveDesign strategies for creating energy-efficient buildings in the Middle East. By integrating traditional techniques with modern technology and energy-efficient equipment, we can develop net-zero buildings. Here are some key points covered in this episode: Self Shading: Using courtyards and vegetation to create cooler internal microclimates, reducing the need for artificial cooling. Vegetation and Water: Lowering air temperatures in internal spaces, which in turn cools facades and reduces energy consumption. Active Thermal Mass: Enhancing the building's ability to absorb and release heat by incorporating chilled water or air within the concrete structure. Don’t miss this episode to learn how we can lower internal loads, improve thermal comfort stability, and reduce both operational and embodied carbon. At AESG, we encourage all stakeholders to prioritise passive design strategies in projects to achieve high-performing, sustainable assets and contribute to a more resilient environment. #AESG #Sustainability #NetZero #EnergyEfficiency #GreenBuilding #ThermalComfort #BuildingDesign #MiddleEast

Great Nicholas Byczynski !

1moHow about using solar reflective radiation heat transfer reducers? 20 years ago we used a product called TC Ceramic and the Air-Conditioning load was reduced about 60% in Buildings in Baghdad
