Abstract

In this work, we present a parametric study of a new administrative building, located in El-Ksar El Kebir region (Morocco). In order to have a building that complies with the RTCM in a technically and economically sound manner, we have carried out a number of interventions to insulate the components of the building, namely external walls, exposed roofs and openings. In this perspective, we have modelled the building envelope as a multi-zone building in TRNSYS and we have adopted an occupation scenario for this type of building. After determining the optimal insulation solutions, we simulated the administrative building in the five other thermal zones, to determine its feasibility in the latter.

Highlights

  • In recent years, the world experienced a terrible climate change, which everyone is talking about, so some countries have begun to apply different solutions to remedy this problem

  • The COP 21, in Paris, was closed by an international agreement on climate., setting as a target by 2100 the limitation of global warming between 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C. witch was applied in the COP 22, in Marrakech, so Morocco has been working for a few years in a program that converges with global climate objectives, through the implementation of laws on energy efficiency and sustainable development, such as the Moroccan Building Regulation in Morocco RTCM, targeting the building.Morocco’s energy consumption continues to rise rapidly each year

  • The building sector accounts for 28% of final energy consumption, with a contribution of one third of total CO2 emissions, given that the potential for energy savings is estimated at 40% in this sector worldwide whole

Summary

Introduction

The world experienced a terrible climate change, which everyone is talking about, so some countries have begun to apply different solutions to remedy this problem. The building sector accounts for 28% of final energy consumption, with a contribution of one third of total CO2 emissions, given that the potential for energy savings is estimated at 40% in this sector worldwide whole. The country must import more than 97% of its energy needs (more than 16% of electricity was imported directly in 2014) with the construction sector as it is the largest consumer of energy, about 25% of The total energy used. Energy consumed in the residential sector represents 72% of the total energy absorbed by the building sector and the rest is devoted to higher education. The building sector represents the largest depository of savings; about 40% could be saved by combining several factors (effective lighting system, effective envelope and efficient electrical equipment)
