“…Fig. 2", shows a vernacular residential construction, in which eight buildings of similar architectural design are employed. Buildings are surrounded by an external enclosureof 3m of high to help escape the extreme temperatures [22]. The urban caracterstics of this type of building is characterized by a high degree of compactness, both vertical and horizontal, which exposes a minimal surface area to the sun and cold winter winds.…”

“…the decrease in temperatures during hot hours, which clearly appears on the curves of " Fig 7" and " Fig.8".Indeed the present investigation shows the role of the external enclosure on providing the necessary thermal comfort. The regulation of architectural design factors in relation to solar radiation, wind and shade contributes to the indoor thermal activity and produces a comfortable atmosphere [22]. Builders used temperature variations to obtain a good distribution of air in buildings.…”

Morocco faces enormous climatic constraints. A large part of the national territory has a hot and dry climate, hence the importance of the climate aspect in the choice of an energy saving strategy. The use of reinterpreted, decontextualized, totally or partially vernacular architectural techniques and/or forms is visible at different levels in the Maghreb countries. The large-scale integration of this aspect seems to be ignored by the designers. The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of the building orientation and vernacular architecture towards the occupant comfort, in order to meet its energy and comfort needs at a lower cost on one hand, and on the other hand, to design more efficient collective buildings from a thermal and energy point of view. The proposed methodology allows examining the thermal performances of a traditional building under the climatic conditions of the city of Rissani in order to naturally control comfort summer and winter, in addition to ensure a good thermal comfort without using any heating or cooling system. Finally, the simulations carried out lead to the identification of the optimal orientation that demonstrates an effective reduction in indoor temperatures and a decrease in the large daily fluctuations in these temperatures. The research focuses on the influence of the orientation of a building's facades in relation to the solar radiation and on providing the necessary thermal comfort.

“…Martín et al [21] studied an assessment of the thermal behaviour in traditional and wooden construction in Spain. The research work of Mokhtari et al [22] and El Azhary et al [23] were devoted to studying the strong link between architectural design and thermal comfort in arid areas without the use of air conditioning.…”

The thermal performance of exterior walls is considered as a key factor to improving energy efficiency in buildings, especially in areas with cold climates in winter and warm climates in summer. As part of this study, and whose building materials are known for their low thermal properties. The X-ray diffraction was performed on the clay material and the different fibers in order to determine their crystallinity. An experimental characterization of thermophysical properties of a new biocomposites material for the sustainable buildings construction in southern Morocco is presented. These materials can be used as mortar for ceilings and exterior walls. To this end, several samples were prepared from clay extracted from the Errachidia region (south-east Morocco) and three mass fractions of alfa, fig and reed fibers (20%, 40% and 60%). The thermal characterization method adopted is that of the highly insulated thermal house. The results revealed that the incorporation of alfa, fig and reed fibers into the clay matrix allowed a remarkable reduction in apparent density and thermal conductivity. This result shows the interest of using this biocomposite material in construction buildings to ensure thermal comfort and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
