The research presented in this paper aims to identify the impact of the Moroccan Thermal Regulation for Construction (RTCM) on thermal performance of a typical house located in the climate zone 5 (Marrakech). To broaden this study, we did the same inspection as if the house is located in the climate zone 1 (Casablanca). The study is based mainly on two aspects: experimental validation of the computer...
The aim of this study is to investigate the benefits of pitch insulation and ceiling insulation for air-conditioned buildings in the tropical climate of Malaysia. These are performed via computer simulations using a whole-building thermal energy software Integrated Environmental Solution (IES) with Apache Sim 6.0.2. The benefits are appraised by the thermal impact and the cooling load in three cooling...
Since the Kyoto Protocol signed in December 1997, the majority of governments around the world have committed themselves to reducing the emission of the greenhouse gases. Thus, efficient use of energy and sustainability has become a key issue for the most energy policies. It is known that cooling energy demand of a building can play an important part in building total energy consumption. In addition,...
A 60 liter capacity flat plate solar water heater has been designed and constructed with locally available material. The size is selected considering the daily requirement of a small family. In performance evaluation we have recorded water temperature of the solar water for consecutive hours during the mentioned sun shine period. During June-July period the maximum water temperature obtained was 71??C...
