Abstract

In the context of preserving the environment as well as natural resources against corruption and continuity of life in Kuwait, this study was initiated with the objective of identifying sustainable architectural design to meet the social and psychological needs of the user, where Ahmadi area was selected a case study in Kuwait. Previous studies in the field of sustainable architectural design and social and psychological needs were reviewed. The metrological variables so as the psychrometric charts of Ahmadi were deduced and applied to a building in the study area using Ecotect Architectural Program with real data. Also, architectural and social psychological questionnaire were designed and distributed among a number of residents of the building so as qualified individuals. The results of the metrological, psychrometric so as the questionnaire results were analyzed and discussed in order to select the most effective design method. Finally, conclusions were deduced to implement the most efficient procedure in practice (ventilation so as direct and indirect evaporative cooling). In addition, some recommendations were suggested for the engineering practice and future studies
