Idea 1 - This ancient air conditioning system, also known as the Badgir is an adaptable creation which is cool during the hot summer months and warm during the cold winter days, despite there being no electricity. The badgir, translates to 'wind catcher' and this passive air conditioning works through cross ventilation and passive cooling. The tower has openings that are facing the wind and trap it inside, while also using thermal buoyancy to draw out the hot air from the building. This creates a pleasant breeze inside, cooling the building.

Idea 2 - In Singapore, the world's largest underground district cooling system uses a large central plant to cool water and pipe it into banks, residential towers, an exhibition center and shopping malls. This idea helped Singapore save up to 40% of electricity usage compared to traditional air conditioners. Also, since Singapore relies majorly on natural gases it means that this systems emissions savings is the equivalent of removing 10,000 cars.

In the UAE, there are many areas including public parks and all outdoor places which are extremely hot, especially in the summer. This is why, misting systems have been majorly incorporated in such areas to assist in making people feel cooler in such harsh climates. These misting systems are fans which are mounted in different areas which also spray cold water at the same time. This cool water splashes on your body in the form of mist along with the cool air from the fans to soothe people outdoors in a simple, yet extremely effective way.

What would you use the new shaded area for?

Enjoying outside weather, socializing, etc.

Ideas for the design for the shaded outside area?

Design a large tarp that can cover the entire rock climbing area.

What are some benefits that can come with the shaded are?

Not being exposed to the sun which limits risk of physical harm and it makes you feel more comfortable in the outside area.

1. What outcome does the audience want?

The audience wants an outdoor area with cooling facilities to reduce the impact of the heat during the summer and allow GIS parents, staff and students to utilize it for their own requirements/ activities. This facility must be within a reasonable budget and not too difficult to maintain.

2. Why do they want it?

The audience wants such a facility because it will reduce the chances for heat related conditions like heat stroke, sunburns and fainting/ blackouts. Additionally, the audience wants to be able to use these outdoor areas even during the summer for different purposes and such features can enhance the spaces and allow for more usage.

3. What's stopping them from achieving it?

Budget and Maintenance are a big hurdle when creating such installments in school, because it is important to consider that different features, for example, misting systems and shades can be expensive to install, and will require regular reparations and maintenance which isn't ideal for school.

Problem Statement:

How can we address the issue of heat during summer in outdoor areas/ facilities at GIS by employing an innovative, efficient, maintainable and budget friendly solution, while considering that it impacts GIS students, staff and parents resulting in multiple inconveniences?

The top three trends in this feedback are:

1. Health and Safety Concerns: There's a prominent trend highlighting the health and safety risks associated with high temperatures. Mention of heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke suggests an awareness of the potential dangers posed by prolonged exposure to extreme heat.

2. Impact on Outdoor Activities: Similar to the previous feedback, there's an emphasis on how the extreme heat limits outdoor activities. People express frustration at being unable to play outside or stand outdoors comfortably due to the high temperatures. This indicates a significant impact on daily routines and leisure activities.

3. Recognition of Weather Patterns: The feedback acknowledges the consistent hot weather patterns in Dubai, extending beyond just the summer season. This suggests an understanding of the climate in the region and how it affects lifestyle choices, such as avoiding outdoor activities to mitigate the effects of extreme heat.

Interview 1 (Dalia):

In this interview Dalia states that she would use the new shaded area to enjoy the weather, she also stated that she thinks a good solution would be creating a tarp over the area. Finally, she states that a benefit to a shaded area is limiting sun exposure (which limits the risk of sunburns and/or possible skin cancer)

Interview 2 (Eleonora):

In this interview Eleonora states that she would use the new shaded area to eat and socialize more. Eleonora recommends adding fans to the new shaded area. Eleonora names protection from harsh weather as a benefit to the new shaded area.

Interview Overview:

This outdoor area is mostly used for socializing and eating, and the biggest concern is the health risks, heat, and humidity present in the outdoor space.

1.) The most important issue that we must take into account and has been mentioned multiple times in the survey results is that this our invention has be suitable for all types of weather phenomenons, as the climate in Dubai changes quite a long from the cold (and sometimes rainy) winter to the dry and hot summers.

2.) Making a realistic invention that isn't too expensive and functions well is another issues as there are could be many high budget costs for the initial building or installation costs, as well as finding the correct material that is durable in many situations. This is second as it is very important, however protecting against the harsh sun and stopping potential health hazards from happening is the most.

3.) Long term maintenance is another important issue as if we want this invention to be long lasting, we need to constantly invest time and money to repair any faults as this is a space that will be utilized by many people and is meant to be protection against intense weather conditions.

After looking back on the limited answers from the survey, I have concluded that there are multiple extra questions that could have increased the variety of results. Some examples include "What would you use this space for?", this is important for getting a good understanding of how we would need to set up the area to ensure that everyone can complete what they want to do in that area. I believe another good question to ask would be "What other than getting more protection against adverse weather effects would you want from this invention?" This will help us get more insight on what the GIS community wants from this space.
