Our efficiency at work, our health and our psychological state depend on the internal environment that surrounds us in the architectural vacuum and the world is currently witnessing an era of technological development in building materials and raw materials in all their forms and their impact on the sustainability of buildings that reduce the impact of the built environment on the natural environment and improve the effectiveness of the building to ensure a high-quality life for future generations. The research aims to develop criteria for evaluating the sustainability of buildings that suit the reality of building implementation in Egypt and test their suitability by evaluating a sample of residential buildings implemented in Egypt. The evaluation process was carried out through the design of a measurement tool to measure the level of application of sustainability in residential building projects and distributed to a sample of engineers within the interior design and implementation specialist, where the most important criteria were set for the conditions of Egypt, and the standards were divided into seven axes, under each axis falls a number of sub-criteria and the measurement was made using the five-point "Likert" scale and determining the relative importance for each axis. Through this study, it was concluded that the most important criteria in both the design and implementation stages are energy efficiency as well as the economic aspect, where the most important criteria can be used in designing a sustainable housing model.
