The research problem lies in the lack of selection the facades, shapes, and materials in a well-studied scientific way that fits with the existing residential buildings, to protect them from the external environment and weather in Riyadh city. Hence, this paper aims to find the best suitable modern techniques and design solutions that positively impact the facades of residential buildings, and to reach the architectural configuration of the outer cover of the existing residential buildings in a way that suits the thermal climate and to reduce energy consumption. The study seeks to reach environmental treatments that help us develop and reshape the facades of residential buildings in Riyadh to achieve sustainability and 2030 Kingdom vision. The research follows the applied analytical descriptive approach, and the study is divided into three stages. The first stage is a theoretical study aimed at identifying the literature, understanding the current situation, collecting data related to sustainable residential buildings, and how to improve the facades to reach the goal of the study. The second stage, is an analysis of the Riyadh projects of the Ministry of Housing. The third stage, is the applied part.
