This research aims to reach Residential Building Energy Saving, respecting the Architectural Identity around El-Arish region. The importance of energy efficiency in the building has a great urgency today and the building sector has emerged as a major factor affecting the energy consumption. This will be through the evaluation of Architectural Design Efficiency using Building design tools such as Ecotect software. This program works as a design tool for environmental principles and more effectively in simulating the design processes stages through analyzing the building solar performance (Air Temperatures, Heat Gain and Loss, Thermal Resistance), Natural lighting and ventilation and air flow in the building and thier energy consumption. And thus can determine the extent of comfort within the building spaces in order to reach the optimal design. So the research reaches outcomes and results can be formulated in an APPROACH includes set of factors affecting on the efficiency of Architectural Saving Energy Design (ASED), which illustrates method of selection of suitable architectural features such as (orientation, materials and size of fenestration, shading devices, treatment of building envelope etc.), which on incorporation in the building's design would provide thermal comfort with minimum Consumption of Energy and maximum suitability for Architectural Identify
