Abstract

Renovating and environmentally optimizing educational buildings is crucially 
important in order to achieve optimal functionality for the said educational 
buildings, this can be achieved when the buildings fulfill their functional purpose 
while maintaining compatibility and harmony with surrounding environmental 
elements and creating an interior climate of comfort, which is considered of the 
main goals of the educational process. One of the primary environmental solutions 
to this: is designing a building envelop appropriate for the surrounding 
environmental elements, so as to achieve thermal comfort for the occupants, while 
maintaining energy conservation measures for HVAC systems. This paper 
overviews an applied study made on a building of a private school of engineering 
in Cairo-Egypt, aimed at decreasing heat gain levels to attain thermal comfort, 
thus improving energy efficiency accordingly. This was done via calculating 
thermal conductivity (U- value) of all elements constituting the building envelop, 
and testing its compliance with requirements for the Egyptian Code for Buildings 
Energy Conservation, and Egyptian Code for Buildings Thermal Insulation. Also, 
by modifying the building envelop and using climate appropriate treatments. Thestudy used calculations for the rate of heat gain of the building envelop elements,
The treatment methodology applied the use of insulating materials that comply 
with the code of thermal insulation specific to the building’s location, which offers 
the required climatic and thermal comfort, while maintaining full functionality for 
the educational process throughout the application phase
