Abstract

More recently, with the understanding of the climate change crisis and the energy problem resulting from the lack of renewable resources, many problems related to climate and greenhouse gas emissions have emerged. The interior architecture sector of the buildings is the most energy consuming in the world, hence the need for a highly efficient interior design approach and the production of an indoor environment suited to the comfort and well-being of the individual and to the requirements of thermal adaptation and environmental requirements. In the context of Egypt's interest in and hosting of the World Climate Summit COP27 November 2022, and the modern growth trend aiming at stabilizing energy consumption, especially in urban areas, to achieve a low-carbon society, this research discusses solutions from different design strategies to reach zero energy interior space. The basic objective is to promote society and its ability to improve internally, which is a fundamental tool for reducing emissions, thereby reducing its impact on the environment and providing rationalization solutions for energy and resource consumption. By selecting design materials from natural sources to improve internal climate quality as well as achieve energy efficiency and productivity, this research takes a step in clarifying the concepts of environmental and carbon footprint by reviewing how the carbon footprint can be reduced to support sustainable development.
