Abstract
Yemen is the charm of the Arabian South because it has a long and complex history, it was an important center in ancient times, and it witnessed a number of civilizations such as Sheba, Himyar, Qataban and the ancient city of Zabid ... This leads to the growth of environmental awareness for the sustainable design of environmentally friendly airport systems to keep pace with environmental requirements and needs to stay away from negative effects on the environment surrounding the airport on a larger scale; to reduce energy consumption and not to use polluting substances for the environment, so as not to help the environmental imbalance on the ground. Biodiversity in Yemen represents an opportunity to apply environmental standards for sustainable interior design of the airport building in Hodeidah Governorate, by taking advantage of local resources that are in line with climatic conditions that affect improving the quality of life, and reducing the environmental impact of architectural projects (of the airport building) in Hodeidah Governorate. Focus on the elements that affect environmental performance These standards include the optimal use of environmentally friendly building materials, the application of energy-saving technologies, and the promotion of natural ventilation to achieve a suitable airport equal to the environment, and this improves the functional performance of the airport through the Energy Leadership and Environmental Design Assessment System and the extent of its impact, and this reflects the efficiency of the internal environment (for green airports - zero energy - solar energy) in terms of resource consumption, and improving the required materials according to the LEED evaluation system.Successful international experiences in this field were also reviewed to benefit from in the development of local standards. The criteria that must be taken into account when making a sustainable design for the airport building are to raise the efficiency so that the LEED system contributes to a comprehensive assessment of environmental design research Association (EDRA), rationalization of energy consumption and the exploitation of natural resources to obtain the necessities of life, and this is called the development process. Search problem: - Some designers in Yemen neglect environmental strategies and lack of application of interior design standards in order to obtain a sustainable building. Research Objective: - Explore the environmental strategies stemming from Yemen Vision 2030 and guide the standards of sustainable interior design for the airport building for Hodeidah Governorate according to the LEED system while preserving the urban identity. Research hypothesis: The research assumes the following: - If the proposed environmental standards are applied within the space spaces of the terminal building, this will lead to the functional preparation of the occupants, and the arrival of an interior design for the terminal building that is effective and effective. Research Methodology: Theoretical Approach: Use in determining environmental standards to be adopted in the research and explain the main points therein. Descriptive and analytical approach: This is done by conducting an analytical study of the most important models of interior designs to determine what can be applied in our country by clarifying the impact of environmental standards on the sustainable interior design of the airport building, which was established in accordance with environmental design standards (environmentally friendly).
