المستخلص In parallel with the high awareness of environmental problems, many architectural trends have emerged that adopting or supporting the idea of the importance of environmental balance, especially the urban sectors that are considered as one of the main consumers of natural resources, hence the idea of new concepts and methods was not unusually known in design and implementation of projects before, and some of those concepts are ”sustainable architecture”, ”sustainable design”, ”sustainable buildings”. The sustainability of housing is considered as part of the global sustainability that concerns a lot of scientists and researchers in all fields, especially those who are involved in issues of environmental preservation and its balance that can’t be achieved unless through the sustainability of all forms of development, especially residential development, that provides the human choice of adequate and comfortable house, which represents a big proportion of Development. The assessment of sustainability is considered as a main condition to promote the sustainable development, also, the possibility of assessing the sustainability of products and processes has a particular importance in the urban environment, and that’s according to numerous studies. The assessment of sustainability in the urban environment is inevitable to help in increasing the spread of cities and sustainable buildings, so that, many sustainable systems have emerged, However, these systems have been accused of incompleteness since they may neglect one of the three dimensions of sustainable development (environmental, economical, socio- cultural), as it is not possible to prepare or implement any sustainable strategy or policy without merging these dimensions together. Considering that most global sustainability assessment systems were developed to suit each region’s conditions and its environmental, economic and social characteristics, therefore these systems with its differ may not be appropriate for the local conditions of Egypt, as Egypt is characterized by a very hot climate, and with the increasing use of buildings with different patterns of materials, energy and water, In addition to the increasing population growth, the housing problem is constantly increasing, therefore this has led to increase efforts to create new cities to accommodate this population, so the need has arisen to apply the concept of sustainable housing, and seeking to establish a set of criteria, which can be included in a multi-criteria system for assessing the sustainability of residential buildings in Egypt, as appropriate with the environmental, cultural, social and economic context. |
