The building sector in Algeria is one of the most energy intensive sectors due to the lack of culture of thermal insulation among the occupants and the lack of awareness in the use of this technique to obtain better thermal comfort in the long term and reduce energy bills. This article aims to study the influence of the shared vision of social identities on the quality of existing civil constructions by reinforcing the type of thermal insulation to achieve better thermal comfort for individuals regardless of the conditions climatic. To do this, we first presented a general description of the current context of construction and the available materials used in the city of Bechar. Then a general analysis on the different techniques induced in the construction of the envelope (exterior walls and roofs) in order to select the best technique that adapts to the climate of Bechar (hot and arid) and strengthening it to improve the thermal comfort of residential homes with lower energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
