Abstract:
Climate change, as a hazardous phenomenon threats the quality of life deleteriously. This dangerous challenge which has emerged as one of the significant results of modern era, can become a grave problem in future years. In fact, this globalissue has appeared as a direct consequence of misapplication of industry and emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG). Today, MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is a vulnerable region which is seriously in danger of climate change. The barrenlands and wide deserts in combination with low annual precipitation and incessant air and water pollutions caused by theindustrial activities of developing countries in this region has influenced the climate of MENA adversely. In this study the expected impacts of climate change on this region are investigated.Zero carbon architecture as a pioneer potent architectural style which can mitigate the perilous effects of climate change isprofoundly investigated in this paper. Furthermore, numerous functional architectural solutions which are compatible with MENA climate are described for decreasing greenhouse gases and eliminating fossil fuel consumption for buildings’ operations. Also, multiple instances indicate that applying active and passive green architecture principals will hinder climate change detrimental effects
