“…Therefore, we focused on the publications most relevant to Algeria, which aimed to calculate the bioclimatic potential or heating/cooling degree days or run simulations to predict the impact of climate change. This includes the work of Khouki et al [34] who assessed the effectiveness of bioclimatic design strategies in hot dry regions of Algeria and that of Imessad et al [35] who focused on assessing the effectiveness of passive cooling in Algiers. Among those studies, the study of Ghedamsi et al [36] is the most relevant and comprehensive study in which the annual heating and cooling requirements of buildings in different regions of Algeria were calculated using the degree days method.…”

“…The literature review indicated that the three strategies listed above are the most effective design strategies, which are suitable for the climate of Algeria and should be prioritized by designers [34,42]. The boundaries of the thermal comfort zone were limited by the comfort temperature calculated by the adaptive comfort model ASHRAE 55-2017.…”

A B S T R A C TThe energy consumption and thermal comfort in buildings are heavily affected by weather conditions. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze the bioclimatic potential of Algerian climate zones. This analysis was made based on eight representative locations using recent weather datasets (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017). The thermal comfort and passive design potential analysis were based on a psychometric chart applying the adaptive comfort model ASHRAE 55-2017. In addition, an evaluation of the bioclimatic potential was conducted using simulations of a monitored and calibrated residential building model in Algeria using EnergyPlus. The building model has been tested in eight previously selected locations. The heating and cooling energy load results were calculated for each climatic zone and compared. The results allow architects and urban planners to better understand the climate and provide practical design guidance.1 Evaluate the thermal comfort and bioclimatic design potential of eight selected cities, which represent the six official climate zones of Algeria, based on a psychometric chart and the adaptive comfort model ASHRAE 55-2017. 2 Validate the bioclimatic potential analysis by simulating the heating https://doi.

“…Penelitian lain menunjukkan bahwa rumah-rumah tradisional di negara-negara tropis lebih sensitif terhadap iklim yang berlaku dan mampu menyediakan lingkungan internal nyaman bagi penghuni (Fitriaty, Antaryama, and Nastiti 2011). Kenyamanan penghuni di dalam rumah ditentukan oleh kombinasi dari beberapa strategi pasif kontrol termal, yang merupakan hasil menyeluruh pengetahuan tentang kondisi iklim (Khoukhi and Fezzioui 2012). Kajian komparatif untuk evaluasi kinerja termal dibuat atas dasar perbedaan temperatur di dalam rumah dengan suhu di lingkungan luar.…”

Traditional house is believed to have a better thermal performance compared to the modern house. Utilization of passive design in buildings can refer to the passive system used in a traditional house through natural ventilation and local materials application. Digital simulation was used to evaluate the thermal performance of the Batak Toba Traditional House by comparing field measurement data; and as a validation tool. This study aims to determine the thermal performance and aerodynamic of Batak Toba Traditional House by using digital simulation and field measurements. The used method was by comparing the results of digital simulation analysis with indoor and outdoor direct temperature measurements of the Batak Toba Traditional House. The softwares used for simulation were Meteonorm, Ecotect and CFD-ACE+. The measurements were conducted for 24 hours in May 4 th-5 th and April 26 th-27 th 2013 within one hour time interval. The results of the analysis of digital simulation show the same phenomenon compared with the result of field measurement that is 80% in range thermal comfort within one year. Field measurement results showed that the thermal conditions resulted from all day field measurement was under the upper limit temperature reference of thermal comfort with natural ventilation, that is 29 °C.

“…Passive evaporative cooling is one of the most efficient and long recognized ways of inducing thermal comfort in predominantly hot dry climates. Historically, evaporative cooling was used extensively in traditional architecture throughout the world's hot arid countries [4][5][6]. Many researches have been conducted on using natural ventilation and evaporative cooling strategies for producing cool air and the effect of using a solar chimney on thermal-induced ventilation in buildings; Maerefat and Haghigi put forward a new solar system employing a solar chimney together with an evaporative cooling cavity.…”

Houses in Egypt are often designed without taking the climate into account sufficiently. Consequently, new houses often have a poor indoor climate, which affects comfort, health and building efficiency. In hot and arid climates, passive cooling system employs non-mechanical procedures to maintain suitable indoor temperature. Thus, they have been increasing the influence of the traditional cooling concepts but with new technology. Therefore, these conditions encourage such a concept to enhance natural ventilation with evaporative cooling and save energy in the New Assiut city. In the present study, the effect of solar chimney parameters on wind tower parameters was numerically investigated as a second phase of the new integrated model. All the detailed mathematical equations and system description are presented in phase one. A numerical simulation is implemented in Transient systems simulation program-Conjunction of multizone infiltration specialists program softwares. The parametric studies of the integrated system in phase two were studied to achieve high performance with new compact small design especially for the hottest days in the summer season. The temperature and airflow rates are predicted iteratively taking into account the zone pressure and the pressure drop in the evaporative cooler component. The result shows that the system achieves nearly at least close to 80 % acceptable comfort range according to Adaptive Comfort Standard of American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers with optimum ventilation rate 414 m 3 /h for the hottest day. The findings show that the system achieves high performance in the hottest day with small solar chimney dimension and is easy to integrate in the building envelope than the proposed system before parametric studies in phase one.
