Using these Guidelines enables commissioning high performance housing facilities that improve the general standards of a better design of the housing buildings. This paper encompasses the principles of the design's quality of housing projects as guidelines for improving the design quality of housing. This research embraces simpler framework for housing design principles that can facilitate new housing buildings achieve a positive contribution to the residents’ quality of life, helps developers generate values from their strategies, guides them to a number of design’s general features and recommends that attention should be paid to the tradeoffs between performance and monetary values.
