Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the thermal behavior of a residential building with an aim of estimating thermal comfort in this building for a case of passive air conditioning. Passive air conditioning can play a major role in promoting energy efficiency in the building sector [1]. Considering that this sector is one of the main targets of the improvement of energy efficiency, since it represents today more than one-third of the worldwide consumption of energy and an equivalent amount of its associated emissions [2]. In Algeria, this sector has the highest energy consumption. Its consumption represents more than 42% of the total final consumption [3].
