Abstract

The movement of air has a great effect on architectural formation whether on the building level in terms of the shape of voids and the ventilating elements or on the level of the general planning of the whole area. controlling roads and passageways. directing housing units, and proper distribution of buildings becomes an essential factor lo provide the required natural ventilation for all buildings, Because of the absence of adequate field studies of housing gatherings in desert arias, in the Under Heated Period, the present research focuses on studying natural ventilation of Housing units in the Under Healed Period through field measurements in New Assiut City as a practical example of the desert area in order to ensure that they are climatically appropriate in the Under Heated Period. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher draws upon the analytical method and field measurements. Through the climatic analysis of New Assiut City, the study of the factors influencing the air movement inside the spaces of housing buildings, the detailed study of the selected housing buildings, and the analysis of the field measurements of internal and external temperatures of these buildings and the yards, streets and green areas surrounding then, the present research comes up with some results and recommendations that can be implemented in hot desert areas in the Under Heated Period.
