We also use colour and reflectivity,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">El Battouty said that rising temperatures hit the poor &#8211; who struggle to afford air conditioning &#8211; and those working outside hardest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThat is why we want to provide sustainable cooling,\u201d El Battouty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">                     THE COST OF COOLING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>One problem facing Egypt\u2019s fast-growing urban areas is that as temperatures rise, more people turn on air conditioners, which in turn churn out waste heat, further raising temperatures outside.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The devices also are heavy energy users, and if that energy comes from fossil fuels their use can drive further climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to a 2018 International Energy Agency report, using air conditioners and electric fans to stay cool \u201caccounts for nearly 20% of the total electricity used in buildings around the world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Demand for cooling is \u201cputting enormous strain on electricity systems in many countries, as well as driving up emissions,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ECOnsult architects said one of their goals is to make sure the heat-beating designs they come up with work for the poor as well as the rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe care about making our green buildings affordable, so we design buildings in a way that makes them have the same cost as traditional buildings,\u201d said Ahmed Al Shareif, a business development manager with ECOnsult, which started in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ECOnsult uses recycled materials as much as possible, and keeps in mind issues from potential pollution to excessive use of water as well in its designs, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The firm hopes to win an innovation in low-carbon cooling award to be presented in July by Ashden, a London-based charity focused on sustainable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe climate emergency means higher temperatures are now a fact of life, and so people are turning up the air conditioning, completing a vicious circle\u201d as they use more energy to stay cool, said Harriet Lamb, Ashden\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe world must wake up to this new reality and urgently invest in sustainable solutions,\u201d she said. \u201cWe cannot sit back and wait for the next lethal heatwave to arrive \u2013 we need action now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Other Egyptian firms also are looking at innovative cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KarmSolar, a solar and technology integration company, for instance, is working through a subsidiary in another village in Bahariya Oasis to employ wind-catchers, hot-air extractors, and strategic placement of doors and windows for natural cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As Egypt\u2019s population grows and more people move from rural to urban communities, demand for cooling and warming devices has increased by about 30% over a decade, said Saber Osman, head of the Ministry of Environment\u2019s climate change adaptation department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But staying cool in Egypt is getting more expensive. The government has carried out a staged series of hikes in electricity prices since 2016, as it phased out fossil fuel subsidies in an effort to cut budget deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With more Egyptians struggling to pay for air conditioning, finding ways to create more efficient, energy-smart cooling is important, and may need to include requiring air conditioning manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient machines, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The desert buildings Atef Azzazy and his team of farm workers once lived and toiled in were hot in the summer, cold in the winter and leaky enough they sometimes let in snakes, he remembers.
