Thermal and Economic Study on Building External Walls for Improving Energy Efficiency

Abstract: Energy consumption is a worldwide concern and improving insulation is a way to save energy in buildings. In Algeria about 42.7% of the total energy is consumed by residential sector. This study investigates the thermal behaviour of external walls used in buildings located in a chosen Algerian city under real climatic conditions. The transient heat conduction through a composite wall made of 3 or 5 parallel layers of different materials and thicknesses was numerically resolved. The equations system resolution w… Show more

“…Currently, the analysis of the energy network with various forms of heat-work conversion is mainly based on the theory of thermodynamic analysis. In the energy conservation analysis and optimization of the complex energy network, the traditional analysis technology cannot quantify the irreversible loss in the energy production process, while the thermo-economic analysis method, which introduces the concept of cost, can solve the above problem [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…In Algeria between 2013 and 2015 it was 16.2% for electricity and 15.96% for gas. The residential sector consumes around 42.7% of total energy consumption, which gives an increase in consumption in this sector of 13.49% [3]. In 2008 India's energy use was the fifth highest in the world, the building sector represents about 33% of electricity consumption [4].…”
