Yasser O. El Gammal, Hamees M. El-Sheikh, Seleem S. E. Ahmad
TL;DR
This paper explores how to adapt Egyptian home designs to include biogas digesters for food waste, aiming to integrate sustainable energy solutions into residential architecture.
Contribution
The study proposes design guidelines and spatial configurations for biogas digesters tailored to Egyptian residential buildings.
Findings
Architectural parameters for biogas integration in Egyptian homes were identified.
Prototypes for biogas digesters suitable for local residential structures were proposed.
Safety and cost considerations for biogas installation in homes were discussed.
Abstract
The present work explores the relationship between architectural design and biogas production from household food waste and other disposable materials. It investigates the necessary parameters for adapting domestic architectural designs to accommodate biogas production plants. To achieve this, the study initially delves into commonly known biogas key parameters and selects the most relevant ones to be used as design guidelines for architects. It also examines the architectural structures of biogas digesters implemented worldwide to identify suitable prototypes that can be readapted or redesigned for Egyptian domestic environments. The paper also addressed some issues regarding required workspace calculations for the biogas roof installations, including bearing loads on roof slabs. The paper further explores the architectural characteristics of different types of Egyptian residential…
