“…Façade design include the opening pattern, Windows configurations, type of glazing the that allows the lighting transmission and allow visual communication with outdoors for the occupants of the building and effects the visual comfort [22]. Designing and detailing the elevations of stone buildings in Jordan is not only functional; it can also be described as a purposeful act of ornamentation.…”

Imageability is the quality of a place that makes it distinct, recognizable, and memorable. It defines the character and identity for cities. However, the fast expansion of urban development affects the image of city and its fabric toward the mega scale and transforms cities local cultural life as loosing most of their historic fabrics. These make cities loose there images gradually. Hence, the aim of this paper is to explore the main physical elements that contribute toward attractiveness as one of imageability character in Salt City in Jordan. Historical review and site analysis were the main methodology used in this study. This paper show some of the physical elements that contribute to attractiveness connected with image of the Salt City in Jordan, these elements are: building appearance (material, façade design) and landscape (topography).

“…The use of some passive strategies, including the wind tower, the geothermal potential of the underground, and solar chimneys, can improve thermal comfort and energy consumption. Moreover, in some other cities in the south of Algeria, such as Biskra City [25][26][27] and Bousaada City [28], the impact of horizontal shading devices and materials on indoor comfort has been studied. In other countries, various studies on this topic have shown that thermal comfort may be improved by using passive building design.…”

Modern building materials using reinforced concrete are considered the most popular in the production of housing in Algeria, specifically in desert areas such as the city of Ouargla, which is characterized by its hot and arid climate. These dwellings must be more adaptable to this difficult climate. An example is the Ouargla Ksar, which contains traditional dwellings that have proven their effectiveness in terms of the heat problem, as has been revealed in several previously conducted studies, but these dwellings have decreased in demand as they are not suitable for contemporary urban life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to improve the performance of the most recognized house typologies in the city of Ouargla in terms of thermal comfort and energy consumption by using passive strategies. In this regard, we used a research methodology based on field measurements and model simulations wherein we adopted TRNSYS 17 to determine the most often encountered problems. The simulated model was validated by statistical correlation; afterward, a simulation of a full year was run, during which many aspects of construction were studied and compared, such as insulation, the mass of the roof and walls, dimensions and types of windows, orientation, and solar shading. The results show that the studied modern house can be considered inappropriate for a desert climate, and the use of solar shading combined with insulated walls and roof allows for an increase of 35% in annual thermal comfort hours (−0.5 ≤ PMV ≤0.5) and for a 22.73% reduction in the energy consumption. We then compared the simulated scenarios with a traditional house characterized by a bioclimatic architectural design that we used as a reference building. The obtained results may be useful in guiding both refurbishment interventions on existing buildings and the design of new ones. Although the simulated interventions have been widely studied in the literature, it is very important to determine their impact on the perception of the indoor environment and on the energy consumption in this specific geographic area.

“…The analysis should be concluded by accounting for the interaction between natural lighting and the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system [10]. The amount of incident solar radiation (insolation) admitted through the glazed surfaces in the façade may show severe thermal and visual discomfort issues, in order to avoid excessive solar gain and reduce energy consumption it is necessary to adopt suitable shading device design [11]. The building façade design also plays an important role in providing effective ventilation configuration and strategies, in order to provide efficient Indoor Air Quality (IQA), which usually expressed by the CO 2 concentration in the space and the air ventilation rate [12].…”

As it is clear, worldwide buildings are the largest consumer of the final energy consumption. In Algeria, it has been reported that 33% of the overall energy consumption was attributed to buildings. This is due to the design and constructional techniques of the residential buildings, which do not address the local climatic condition. To assess this situation, the study is focused on analyzing the existing residential buildings in Algeria, in terms of energy, thermal, daylight, and indoor air quality performance, using a dynamic simulation software. Typical building design in a hot and dry climate was selected. The results revealed that the existing residential buildings do not comply with the energy-efficient design standards. It was concluded that further strategies should be applied in this sector, in terms of building design, materials, and façade configuration.
