In addition, increasing population and urban growth of the Arabian cities generally and the Tripoli city particularly in recent years, accompanied by significant energy consumptions.  Therefore, this paper highlights the impact of sustainable environmental design in high-rise buildings and a new horizons a scientific architectural research in the field of high-quality buildings,  Utilization of renewable energy sources because of their positive environmental, social and economic repercussions that support the great development movement witnessed in our Arabian cities, and study the role of sustainable environmental design in improving energy efficiency in high buildings ended up with  related indicators and recommendations that can be used as a standard  environmentally friendly designs to achieving sustainable and smart cities in Libya , which can create high energy-saving buildings.
