Abstract
One of the most contentious issues that has gained popularity over the past 20 years is energy-saving design. Buildings in hot regions have been the subject of a huge and expanding body of literature because they can conserve energy by utilizing a variety of passive design solutions. This paper gives a brief overview of the current literature on low energy buildings in Egypt during the last ten years. The goal is to identify the implementation barriers, both technological and non-technological, for low-energy buildings in Egypt. Using a five-point Likert scale, a questionnaire tool that asks participants about their awareness of implementation barriers for low-energy buildings in Egypt.
Additionally, the results indicate that there are nine barriers that can be identified as barriers to Egypt's adoption of low-energy building and that impede decision-makers from making the best choices for energy conservation in buildings. and noted that the highest rates were found for four of the nine barriers: design, technical solutions, expertise, and quality. The following four barriers are contractors, market, risk, and cost. Regulations are the least barrier, in their opinion.
Buildings, both residential and commercial, should concentrate on reducing their overall energy consumption. Several issues were deemed to be of the utmost importance. By combining the problems and finding a solution, everything is progressing forward. Egypt will thus be regarded as energy-efficient and will be among the countries that reduces its energy usage. After detecting and overcoming low energy barriers in Egypt.
