Abstract

Abstract: In desert regions, the orientation of buildings, thermal insulation and eaves have an important influence in the inside air temperature. The main objective of the current work is to minimize interior temperatures by these three techniques. This study aims at assessing also the geographic parameter enhancing or damping the role of thermal inertia, providing a variety of results. As result, this work proves that stones play a contradictory role on thermal comfort; it has been found that changing orientations of building is not beneficial in terms of thermal comfort particularly in the hot season in case of a building without insulation. Consequently, the insertion of the eaves is recommended to achieve a better thermal comfort in arid and semi arid regions and the habitation will have to be situated in south flan of a hill to satisfy the two strategies (hot and cold).

Abstract

This work proves that an optimized building envelope takes into account thermal properties and building materials. The major concept of the thermal rehabilitation is based on the wall composition especially on the calculation of the walls thermal resistance. In the literature, the values of thermal resistance of air spaces are very different. In this regard, other factors must be taken into consideration in these measurements such as the mobility of air in all wall elements which contributes an insulating effect. Indeed, the numerical simulation save a great deal of time and effort in computational terms and showed that the horizontal position of the hollow brick gives the best results. In this sens, a building envelope, as a passive source of energy, is a critical factor. In conclusion, to achieve a better thermal comfort in arid and semi arid regions, a new configuration of the wall has been proposed, allows to enhance the thermal insulation of the envelop while eliminating thermal bridges [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
