Analysis of energy consumption for Algerian building in extreme North-African climates

The objective of this study is to diagnose and quantify energy consumptions of a real residential building with local materials. Three sites belong to different radiative regimes: Algiers on the southern Mediterranean shore, Tlemcen on the west and Ghardaïa in the Sahara of Algeria. The followed me...
