Abstract

Highlights: [•] Appraisal of the impact of passive strategies on the energy requirements of a solar cooled building in Tunisia. [•] Comparative simulations of different envelope characteristics. [•] Effect of storage walls and solar overhangs on the thermal performance of the building. [•] Simulation of a predictive model featuring passive strategies and renovation measures.
