This paper discusses the potential for reducing the energy consumption of residential apartments built on slopes in Amman, Jordan, by proposing new regulations to ensure adequate access to solar radiation. The energy-conscious concept has appeared around the world with rising oil prices and a rise of high residential buildings. It is necessary to c...
Noise became one of the main environmental indicators of the quality of urban life. The aim of this study was to develop a traffic noise model for an arterial road in Amman, the capital of Jordan, which was being subjected to a persistent increase in traffic and its related issues. The characteristics of the traffic and its relevant noise were anal...

Slum residents' choices of living systems are restricted under various economic and planning constraints. Using mixed metho...
This research seeks to find a mechanism to evaluate residential neighborhood units; Arab residential neighborhood units which are considered a core component in designing Arab cities confront several problems in providing the main services to the residents of a residential neighborhood and posing a threat to their safety, due to poor planning of Ar...
Green wall is a promising technology and a new design strategy for sustainable building, considered a
solution for modifying the urban microclimate and mitigating urban heat island by minimizing the
continuous rising temperature in city cores and dense areas, the space available for greening is very
limited and green wall can be applied to the exte...
This study aims to investigate the influence of work environment on job performance. An engineering company was taken as a case study with a sample size of 85 employees. A quantitative methodology implying a crosssectional survey was used to satisfy the study objectives in addition to the literature review. Different dimensions were examined in re...

This research try to find a mechanism to evaluate the visual pollution of architectural projects on the city or neighborhoods level which affect on visual balance and the city identity, through architectural model provided by project clients to the municipality.
Research methodology based on theoretical studies for visual pollution, through compara...
Natural light is one of the most important elements in architecture, helping to transform spaces and save energy. Day lighting design starts with the selection of a building site and continues as long as the building is occupied. This study is seeking to enhance buildings envelope facades with architectural aesthetic potential and optimizing daylig...
The use of daylight has a great impact on the human visual system, circadian
system and the overall health. Specific lighting conditions can change the
mood of occupants of the buildings, however daylighting in residential
apartments is not considered and there are no specific regulations to provide
spaces with the optimum amount of natural lig...

Gated Residential communities (GRC) are emerging style in several cities in the Middle East since 1990. The goal of this study is to analyze the styles of GRC's and the locations of their growth in Jordan. The study is based on information gathered from several newly built GRCs. Physical properties of GRCs are studied in details. The trends of deve...
Climate change has become the primary environmental threat of the 21st century. It is now on the global political agenda as never before. The current solutions based on mechanical and Industrial a product that‟s lead to design uniform buildings without any concern to its environment. This paper aims to predict the relationship between buildings set...
