  • Abstract:

    Three-dimensional (3D) printed shelters are an innovative housing solution for those in need of a shelter after a disaster. The Middle East generated a huge number of refugees due to internal conflicts. The technology has been investigated earlier from a cost and time perspectives and has performed better than steel shelters in Jordan. This research article investigates environmental performance of 3D printed shelters in Jordan in terms of energy, fuel, cooling and ventilation. Syrian refugees of Jordanian camps were selected as a case study. The energy simulation of the steel shelter to that of a printed shelter showed that the latter can achieve higher ventilation rates, lower energy consumption, less electricity cost and better thermal insulation than steel shelters.
