“…In recent years, the interest in harvesting vibration energy using piezoelectric materials has increased rapidly, and it attracted a great deal of attention. Many researchers studied different application for energy harvesting in general and piezoelectric tiles specific such as Anton & Sodano, 2007;Mak, et al, 2011;Shwehdi, et al, 2015;Moussa, 2017, Moussa, 2018Rawat and Vadhera, 2019;Vinod & Sinha, 2019;Moussa, 2020. Previous research states that Energy harvesters from roads and transport systems are noteworthy which this research intends to prove otherwise.…”

Developing countries are facing huge challenges toward energy production. Energy crisis not only negatively affects the industry, agricultural, commercial, and residential sectors, but it also negatively affects the development of these countries. Relying on renewable energy sources is one of the methods used to tackle the energy problem. The increase in energy costs produced from fossil fuel and the decreasing in fossil fuel production helps in decreasing the gap between the cost of energy generated from renewables and fossil fuel. Using the human population density in generating energy from renewable piezoelectric tiles in public facilities is the aim of this research. The presented research intends to investigate the potential of replacing the floor tiles in public facilities with piezoelectric tiles to generate energy and benefit from the high human population density and movements inside these facilities, and people will start to produce nonstop energy from walking throughout the facility. The presented research used quantitative method to investigate the potential of replacing the floor tiles in Shobra El-Khema metro station with piezoelectric tiles toward energy production. The research compared the electricity generated from piezoelectric tiles with the electricity consumed to electrify the station. According to the population density in Shobra El-Khema metro station, the research revealed that installing 7 Waynergy tiles in a location where all the station passengers are passing through will generate 3990 KW, which will electrify the station.

“…For example, category “Designated and specific use areas” includes not only elements for recreation as picnic area, camping site, shelter, entertainment venue or parking lot, but also such elements as open space, meadow, wooded area, wildlife area. Therefore, this categorization of landscape elements has been applied in most of the surveyed studies dealing with energy-scape components (Moussa and Mahmoud, 2017 ; Moussa et al, 2020 ; Moussa, 2018 ; Moussa & Dewidar, 2020 ). Most of the landscapes are related to a number of different functions relevant for the population.…”

“…The study showed a clear example how combination of renewable energy installations with landscape components may render a more sustainable urban environment and reduce GHG emissions. Moussa ( 2018 ) evaluated the possibility to create more sustainable urban area by changing some landscape elements with energy-scape elements, i.e. renewable energy installations.…”

Urban and regional development is indispensable from energy systems that function in a sustainable and resilient manner. The generation of renewable energy has seen significant upturn in the last decade. Renewables can be exploited to meet the global energy needs and climate change mitigation goals. Therefore, development of urban and regional energy systems must take into account the possibilities and challenges posed by the increasing penetration of the renewable. The achievement of goals of the energy system in the context of transition to low-carbon energy society rises numerous complex decisions over development of infrastructure and technologies. Although renewable energy devices generate clean energy, they also change landscape. The term of energy-scape encourages discussion about interactions between the energy system and the environment, and other ecosystem services at local level. The paper reviews previous studies analysing energy-scape elements and provides the insights towards the transition to low-carbon energy and low-carbon society in general. The systematic literature review allows clearly outlining the problem and gives reliable background for further studies. The main contribution of the article to the existing literature is the creation of framework for the analysis and assessment of new renewable energy technologies installation and infrastructure. The presented framework can be applied for all renewable energy technologies and infrastructure in both urban and rural areas and allows to attain a decision acceptable to the local community.

“…More than 70% of global greenhouse gases emit from urban areas which account for 60-80% of the global energy use (Fragkias et al, 2013;Moussa, 2018;Moussa 2019, HSU, 2020Moussa, 2020). Given that the most of the subsequent constant growing of population will probably be in urban areas (UN, 2012), the major inquiry about urban planning is the way of designing streets and the size or population of a city affecting its energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (Andrae, 2020).…”

In the last two decades, the percentage volume of carbon emissions has increased from 280 to more than 380 parts per million in the atmosphere, the problem is that it is still increasing daily in which it caused many environmental hazard that has been seen the last couple of years. The end of this century, It is expected that the uncontrolled amount of emissions emitted to the atmosphere will increase the surface temperature of plant earth by 3.4ºC. Worldwide, the percentage of carbon emissions in the atmosphere and its effect on air quality has been the main concern of scientist and researchers in the past decade. Egypt, is one of the biggest emitters that surfer from atmospheric pollution, almost 24% of the atmosphere pollutants in Egypt is from the transportation sector due to the heavy use of fossil fuels. Reducing the roads carbon emissions through streets design and form is the main scope of this research. This research intend to control the amount of carbon emission released in air by vehicles through controlling vehicles speed and motion which is effected by the street design and form. The presented research analysis the relation between carbon emissions and streets condition and forms, through measuring the amount of CO2 and CO emission produced in one of the Egyptian roads from different types of vehicles in road with three different conditions. El-Shuhada Street has been chosen to be the study area of this research. The researchers used Testo 315-3 to measure the Carbon emissions in the street and to identify the relation between CO2 emission and street condition and form. The results reveled that straight routes with vehicale speeds ranged between 80 to 100 kn/h produces less carbon emissions then straight routes with street bumps and vehicle speed ranged between 26 to 19 km/h. Moreover, curved routes emitted more emission than straight routes
