Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Engineering - Department of Architectural Engineering Summary: This research aims to investigate the climatic quality of outdoor spaces in Egyptian Universities and highlight campus microclimatic issues that play important role in the Design of Outdoor spaces especially in hot dry regions. To attain the research objective and question, a twofold classification was set between empirical research and literature; Empirical research including ENVI-met software simulation. Predicted Mean vote (PMV) an outdoor thermal index was introduced to determine the effect of different trees scenarios on human comfort level in the two studied open spaces one in each campus Cairo University and German University in Cairo; the results reveal the following; there are significant differences in the air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and PMV index. Trees alone can decrease temperature by 6.5{u223C}9{u00B0}C increase the humidity with 5%{u223C}9% and decreasing PMV up to 1.19 {u223C}1.4 PMV ; these results are clearly attributed to the presence of vegetation
