Towards energy security in Gaza Strip. Exploring passive design strategies in residential buildings

I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my supervisor (Senior Lecturer Dr. Barbara Rubino) and my examiner (Associate Professor Dr. Krystyna Pietrzyk), for their valuable guidance and useful suggestions. A special thanks to my family. Words cannot express how grateful I am to my mother for all of the sacrifices that you have made on my behalf. Your prayer for me was what sustained me thus far. I would also like to thank all of my friends who supported me in writing, and incented me to strive towards my goal. At the end I would like express appreciation to my lovely children and my beloved wife who was always my support in the moments when there was no one to answer my queries
