EVALUATING THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF URBAN SPACES IN ASWAN CITY “A CASE STUDY OF SAAD ZAGHLOUL STREET
The phenomenon of climate change is one of the biggest challenges for the world in the coming years. This phenomenon will affect many cities in Egypt such as Aswan city. The poor thermal performance and the thermal discomfort in urban spaces of Aswan city during the summer period are considered as the main problem of this paper. This problem may be more complicated in the future due to the phenomenon of climate change and its various effects such as increasing of temperature in urban spaces. So this paper aims to evaluate the thermal performance of one of those urban spaces as a first step towards achieving the best condition of thermal comfort in these urban spaces by 2020. This goal will not be achieved without improving the thermal performance of these urban spaces through using various climate control strategies. Also it will not be achieved without redirecting urban designers towards the study of the phenomenon of climate change and its potential impact and put them into consideration when designing their urban spaces. Simulation programs were used to achieve this goal. Also analytical method was used for the analysis of the results that are obtained through simulation software “Autodesk Simulation CFD 2013”, Thermal Comfort Index Calculator and “Ccworldweathergen” program.
