Low-cost housing is spread all over Egypt from the north to the upper, many issues appeared on the horizon, such as high maintenance costs, high levels of energy consumption, and the emergence of many practices for residents of these units in an attempt to adapt between their needs and the design of low buildings. One of the most important challenges impacting the quality of life is energy conservation. This paper aims to raise the quality of life in low-cost housing from the perspective of energy conservation. The research aims to ensure enough sustainable energy to maintain a quality of life. This study is based on questionnaires conducted by residents of low-cost houses projects in Egypt, namely; Mokattem and New Cairo. Trying to find the most important problem and put forward ways to improve and raise the quality of life, especially from the perspective of energy conservation. Studying the Living satisfaction in low- cost houses. These questionnaires were analysed on a proposal design and how to apply it.
Parking has been a major challenge in big cities for decades. Studies have shown direct correlation between parking and the increase in traffic density, thus leading to higher levels of pollution and longer overall trip time. Conventional solutions mainly depend on area-based semi-automated digital parking assistants. Such solutions fall short of offering an optimized solution that enhances the utilization of the set of city-wide parking garages (global garage space), regardless of the physical location. We propose smartpark, a novel, comprehensive location-independent smart park and transfer service to satisfy users objectives such as timeliness, low cost and convenience, while providing efficient globally-balanced garage-space utilization.smartpark utilizes an IoT network to monitor the availability of parking spots in a city-wide multi-garage system. The system employs a genetic algorithm to find the optimal balance between all users and system’s objectives. Simulation results demonstrate that smartpark services are both effective and efficient.
