provide for the consumption at optimal sustainable levels . Redefining the central open area to a green area , and transferring it from the previous function as a central car parking participated in recording a significant reduction in the CO2 production levels , recording a 15 %, grounded according the 4 environmental aspects behaviors as a whole . This is mainly due to the other sources of CO2 emissions of individual household activities , as previously discussed within this paper . A very important issue that has to be stated within this study ’ s scope , is the fact that CityCAD cannot measure the additional enhancement status of a sustainable environmental improvement within the community that can be achieved by the individual residents efforts in increasing all appropriate behavior that maintain the optimal level of a sustained environmental setting .
As this study ’ s main subject has been dealing with a community , the awareness of the sustainable environmental status of the neighborhood and having ways to enhance should be a main target for any future community developments . The human is at centre of any sustainable development and increasing the sustainable awareness leads to a noticeable progress in people ’ s behavior and consumption patterns within a community of a responsible reference .
Conclusion
This section bundles up the most direct methodologies that encountered a recognizable change in the sustainable environmental behavior of the analyzed case study community . The approaches that are to be clarified below are extracted from the mentioned processes , connecting all dots of this study . It is important to re-emphasize on the fact that this study ’ s virtual technical implementation process has been done by an existing framework under the current regulations of Estidama , moreover this was applied on a case study community that is formed by futuristic parameters and onwards vision specification for the upcoming Abu Dhabi 2030 . This draws a true authentic dimension towards the feasibility of future efforts to adopt this study ’ s results and its produced sustainable environmental bundle to be applied on existing communities in order to behave their most archival optimal sustainable level , hence opposed to minimal amendments possible as not to jeopardize the current form , design and layout of any community outside the logical and realistic measures .
This study also puts in consideration , in establishing the sustainable environmental package , the ability to be implemented within any communal development of the futuristic vision of Abu Dhabi 2030 . Although the provided solutions are extracted from one specific neighborhood case study and by using one specific environmental evaluation software , that should not mean that the to be established modular solution bundle cannot be implemented in any community forming projects . A very important approach is to increase the planted trees among the neighborhood . A good way to do this is to establish a central open green area that can also host some social exercises , strengthening the social aspect of a sustainable community as well as its environmental face . Environmentally , this approach is achievable and within logical limits of implementations . Not only CO2 levels are reduced due to the plantation but also the underneath shades provide a very good outdoor quality . Building on the above approach , through the specification of native and adaptive trees , develops into the second methodology approach of this study ’ s sustainable environmental package .
The use of native and adaptive trees is linked directly with the irrigation needs by not burdening the water consumption with the suggested increase in plantation . The study actually showed that the watering needs of planting 20 trees can still be maintained by a value of less than 2 liters / m2 /
