The Impact of Arid Climate on the Indoor Thermal Comfort in the South-East of Morocco

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to study the heat transfer through an administrative building’s envelope in Errachidia City in Morocco. A numerical simulation based on the finite element method was made to describe the effect of introducing several thermal insulators (air, hemp wool, glass wool, rock wool, and extruded polystyrene) of different thicknesses (5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm) on the heat transfer through the building’s envelope under different climatic conditions. For the stationary regime, the summer … Show more

“…Thermal comfort is considered one of the essential parameters in the building design process [1], where it can be a key issue in building performance [2,3] because the indoor thermal conditions are rarely stable due to the interaction between the building envelope [4], climate and occupancy [5]. This is the reason why the research on optimal indoor thermal conditions of buildings has become a priority necessity, and this is to ensure the comfort of occupants and to minimize the energy consumption of the building at the same time [6,7].…”
