The Interrelation between the Shape of a Building and its Potential Energy Performance

Abstract

Morocco is highly dependent on imported energy. Over 91% of energy supplied comes from abroad. However, renewable energy in this country may represent significant deposits as an Alternative energy. Indeed, an effective envelope can contribute to a reduction of energy consumption in buildings about 50%. Our research has been devoted to the study of the energy performance of a housing building in Rabat (Morocco), to analyze the performance in terms of economy and comfort depending on the envelope. We assessed the changes in temperature and humidity in these geographic area and we were able to study and analyze the influence of the type of the building floor plate, insulating material, overall rate of windows, glazing type and orientation.
