Abstract

When creating new cities, it is necessary to take into account the environmental dimensions of not harming the climate and designing buildings so that they contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in light of the increasing global crises resulting from climate challenges, which no longer have a small impact on the contemporary world and with the increasing demands for different solutions to solve the housing crisis The provision of housing units appropriate to the needs and requirements of the users and from this point of view decisions have been taken to implement the social housing initiative for the low-income people by the Egyptian state and are working to provide economic support for residential units, and the main objective of this research paper was to reduce the rate of carbon dioxide emissions for social housing units in Sixth City New October by treating the Building Envelope, using thermal insulation for walls and choosing a low-e double glazing type that works to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and that was through an applied study using computer simulation in the Design Builder 6.0 program for a model of social housing units in the 6th of October City, Giza Governorate And taking into account the design determinants and variables such as direction and type The glass used and the building materials used in the Building Envelope, and the results indicate that treating the Building Envelope using polystyrene thermal insulation with a thickness of 6 cm in the walls and a heat insulation polystyrene 8 cm in the Roof and a wall thickness of 25 cm Red brick can reduce the rate of carbon dioxide emissions by more than 50% On the condition of the foundation, these results are among the good indicators that illustrate the importance of choosing the materials and thickness of the building materials in the Building Envelope of the building in reducing the rate of carbon dioxide emissions in the buildings of social housing units in the new city of Sixth of October in Egypt.
