Abstract
Climatic design has been promoted as an essential approach to achieving sustainable built environment. It is emerging as one of the important requirements to reduce environmental impacts and enhance human well-being. Design strategies in warm-humid climates have been explored by a number of researchers in a wide number of sources, however the application of climatic design in the contemporary Arabic countries in general and particularly in Libya is very rare. Within this background a research methodology has been designed with the aim of providing guidelines for architects to consider how to practice climatic design in creating architecture related to the local environment that can provide more sustainable solutions in hot climate regions with a particular focus on Tripoli. This paper will elaborate on the philosophical stances taken and methodologies adapted to fulfill these aims. The research philosophy adopted will be triangulation approach, which is established to reduce the biases inherent in the case SteadyState
