Abstract
Ensuring thermal comfort for occupants throughout the year, starting from the building design phase, is a key challenge for all stakeholders. In Chad, temperatures are often very high for much of the year, leading to excessive use of air conditioning and ventilation systems. This phenomenon appears to be increasingly exacerbated by climate change. However, the energy demand, especially for cooling, is considerable across the entire national territory, while the country faces an energy access crisis. In this work, we aim to provide assistance to decision-makers and stakeholders at various levels to better understand and optimize buildings for different climate sites. Minimizing energy expenses while ensuring thermal comfort plays an essential role in social, environmental, and other aspects of well-being.
