6. Breakdown of Energy Consumption with regards to Climate Zones
Section 2 Energy Scenario in the KSA
▪ Electrical energy consumption per capita in the KSA increased from 6.11 MWh in 2004 to 9.41 MWh in 2014.
This consumption is considerably higher than the world average of 3.030 MWh/capita in 2014.
▪ The ratio of residential electrical consumption is about 50%, which is also high compared with the worldwide
average of less than 29%.

10. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Architectural design & Site planning
Bioclimatic architectural principles
• Orientation
• Thermal mass
• Surface to volume ratio
• Positioning of windows, shading
• Selection of materials for wall, roof,
windows, including insulation
• Landscaping
Buildings in hot climate…
• Orientation to cut off sun protected
insulated windows external wall
insulation
• Lower surface to volume, lighter
finishes, water as landscape element
Buildings in cold climate…
• Large windows to capture sun
• Thermal mass to store heat
• Minimum Shading
• Insulated walls and windows
• Darker finishes
Effect of efficient materials
• Roof and wall insulation reduced
cooling load by 23%
• Insulated windows reduced cooling
load by 9% (window to wall ratio 7%)
Use onsite sources
• Day lighting
• Natural Ventilation(night cooling)

12. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Lighting Design
• Use of effective solar control strategies
(overhangs) and high performance
glazing limit associated solar gains.
• Achieving this daylight credit will likely
increase energy savings. This is largely
due to savings in the electric lighting
that results from well daylit spaces.
• Minimize site lighting where possible
• High-reflectance surfaces
• Full cutoff-luminaries
• Low-angle spotlights

14. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Water System design
Landscaping & Water use reduction
Reduce potable water consumption for
landscape by 50% over a theoretical
baseline design for the specific region.
Successful Strategies:
• Drought tolerant plants
• Drip irrigation, moisture-sensing
irrigation technologies
• Recycled rainwater system

15. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Water System design
Landscaping & Water use reduction
Water Use Reduction, 20% and 30% Reduction
Successful Strategies:
• Dual flush water closets
• Waterless taps
• Sensor-operated
• Rainwater collection reuse systems
• Gray water reuse systems
Section 3 Energy Efficient Design
16. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Energy management system
Photovoltaic
• Photovoltaic (Solar electric) is a device
which produce free electrons when
exposed to light resulting in power
generation.
• Photovoltaic does not release any of the
green house gases when in use.
• Photovoltaic uses a non-conventional,
renewable source of energy which has no
adverse effects on the environment.
• solar photovoltaic system
55% energy savings over base building
Section 3 Energy Efficient Design
17. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Energy management system
Sustainability at Site
• Replace asphalt with concrete where possible
• Plant trees in vegetation strips around parking lots or
sidewalks.
• Water tanks
• Vegetated filter strips
• Vegetated/Green Roofs
• Energy Star rated roofing systems
• High reflectivity coatings
Section 3 Energy Efficient Design
18. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Heat, Ventilation & Air conditioning
The main purpose of commercial HVAC (Heat, Ventilation
& Air conditioning) systems is to provide the people
working inside the building with “conditioned “ air .
"Conditioned" air means that air is clean and odour-free,
and the temperature, humidity, and movement of the
air are within certain comfort ranges
• Systems may be clustered at a central location and
serve an entire campus of buildings
• Locate system away from acoustically sensitive areas
of the building
Section 3 Energy Efficient Design
19. What should Architectural Engineers DO in:
Heat, Ventilation & Air conditioning
• Selecting efficient air
conditioning based on your
climate.
• Consider photovoltaic, solar
thermal, geothermal, wind,
biomass, and bio-gas energy
technologies
