Efficient energy utilization in air conditioned buildings in Egypt: New directive

Abstract

The Egyptian community in its path for rapid development is endeavouring to make all necessary and appropriate measures to enhance the efficiency of energy utilization and increase the beneficiation of the energy resources. The energy production, transmission, distribution and utilization efficiency becomes a vital factor and measure of national development. The different governmental organisation was established earlier to be responsible for energy planning and efficient utilization, information dissemination and capacity building. Throughout the Nation Energy resources are widely used and consumption rates are in general exceeding the International accepted values. The use and application of new and renewable energy sources can be harnessed to design, construct and operate a solar building of moderate size for desert applications.
