Journal Article
LAING, R., DAVIES, A.-M., HARGREAVES, A. and SCOTT, S. 2004. The application of 3D modelling techniques in built environment evaluation. Studies in regional and urban planning, 10, pages 119-127.

This paper describes a series of methodologies for use in evaluation of the built environment. The use of virtual models within Architecture and Engineering is widespread at the design stage, but has to date been limited in terms of application and i...

Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies. (2004)
Conference Proceeding
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2004. Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies. In Ellis, R. and Bell, M. (eds.) Proceedings of the 2004 International construction and building research conference (COBRA 2004), 7-8 September 2004, Leeds, UK. London: RICS Foundation.

It is expected that the climate of North Africa, one of the hottest regions of the world, will become still more extreme due to the effects of global warming. This would result in higher energy consumptions for cooling purposes in buildings. Daylight... Read More about Occupants and daylight in office buildings under sunny skies..

Computer aided sustainable design. (2004)
Conference Proceeding
BENNADJI, A., AHRIZ, H. and ALASTAIR, P. 2005. Computer aided sustainable design. In Proceedings of the 1st International Arab Society for Computer Aided Architecrual Design (ASCAAD) conference on computer aided architectural design(ASCAAD 2005); e-design in architecure, 22-24 February 2005, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Dhahran: ASCAAD [online], pages 125-135. Available from: http://www.ascaad.org/conference/2004/proceedings.php

One of the most important aspects architects need to consider fairly early on is that of energy saving, cost, thermal comfort and the effect on the environment in terms of CO2 emissions. At present, during the early design stage of a building, differ... Read More about Computer aided sustainable design..

Optimising the relationship between passive solar design of new housing and the economics of construction and land value. (2004)
Thesis
SCOTT, J.R. 2004. Optimising the relationship between passive solar design of new housing and the economics of construction and land value. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The focus of mass housing developments built by speculative developers in the UK has broadly been on maximising density whilst retaining a predominantly detached housing form. This economically led strategy, aimed at maximising sale values, can confl...

Femmes, lumière et espace: cas de l’habitat collectif à Biskra, Algérie. (2004)
Presentation / Conference
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2004. Femmes, lumière et espace: cas de l’habitat collectif à Biskra, Algérie. Presented at Usages et appropriation de l’espace: entre pratiques et régulations, 20-21 April 2004, Annaba, Algeria.

This study attempts to explore new forms of appropriation of architectural space by its occupant according to the relationship it maintains to the physical factors of the environment and in particular the sun and its light. The notion of luminous ter... Read More about Femmes, lumière et espace: cas de l’habitat collectif à Biskra, Algérie..

Effective feedback of whole-life data to the design process. (2003)
Journal Article
KISHK, M., AL-HAJJ, A., POLLOCK, R. and AOUAD, G. 2003. Effective feedback of whole-life data to the design process. Journal of financial management of property and construction, 8(2), pages 89-98.

Key activities of the implementation of whole-life costing (WLC) as a management tool during the occupancy stage are outlined. Then, the logic of a novel whole-life management approach is designed around two recently developed generic WLC databases....

The impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's occupancy: case of the hot dry regions of Algeria. (2003)
Conference Proceeding
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2003. The impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's occupancy: case of the hot dry regions of Algeria. In Craig, T. (ed.) Proceedings of the 3rd Conference of the Environmental Psychology in the UK (EPUK) Network, 23-25 June 2003, Aberdeen, UK. Aberdeen: Robert Gordon University [online], pages 56-63. Available from: https://iaps.architexturez.net/system/files/pdf/dc6d.content.08957.pdf

It is often asserted that the sun and traditional dwellings were in a perfect harmony, whereas the built environment produced in the last fifty years has in fact marginalized most of the climatic factors. Increasingly, an effort is being made to reco... Read More about The impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's occupancy: case of the hot dry regions of Algeria..

An evaluation method for daylighting quality in buildings under clear sunny skies. (2003)
Conference Proceeding
BELAKEHAL, A., TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2003. An evaluation method for daylighting quality in buildings under clear sunny skies. In Craig, T. (ed.) Proceedings of the 3rd Conference of the Environmental Psychology in the UK (EPUK) Network, 23-25 June 2003, Aberdeen, UK. Aberdeen: Robert Gordon University, pages 70-79.

In buildings, daylight is a commonly-used source of wellbeing, aesthetic delight and energy efficiency. Daylight is therefore one of the main parameters considered in the design of buildings. Methods used by architectural designers may be quantitativ... Read More about An evaluation method for daylighting quality in buildings under clear sunny skies..

Sunlighting and daylighting strategies in the traditional urban spaces and buildings of the hot arid regions. (2003)
Journal Article
BELAKEHAL, A. TABET AOUL, K. and BENNADJI, A. 2004. Sunlighting and daylighting strategies in the traditional urban spaces and buildings of the hot arid regions. Renewable energy [online], 29(5), pages 687-702. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2003.09.001

In hot arid regions, sunlighting is an essential consideration to achieve an environmentally conscious architecture. This paper aims to identify the sunlighting strategies and their resulting typology in some urban spaces, different types of building...
