The Thermal Performance Off Different Construction Regulation in MOROCCO of the Building sector.

Abstract

Abstract The building envelope includes all the building components that separate the indoors from the outdoors. Building envelopes include the exterior walls, foundations, roof, windows and doors. The performance of the building envelope is impacted by a number of sub-systems, such as heating, cooling and ventilating equipment, plumbing and electrical systems. The interaction of the sub‐systems with the components of the building envelope, as well as certain activities of the occupants, can affect the performance of the building envelope. The building envelope should keep out: • temperature extremes • moisture, as vapour or liquid • dust • wind Additionally, to maintain durability, the building envelope should not permit weather elements to be trapped inside the walls. This may cause wall components to deteriorate, and continue to decay. In the early stages, it can usually be remedied relatively inexpensively. As time progresses, costs increase exponentially. The objective of these simulations is to establish the optimal technical options to significantly improve the thermal performance of the target buildings compared to the current situation, considered as a reference. For this purpose, a series of thermal simulations were carried out on reference buildings using the TRNSYS software.choice of reference buildingsSeven reference buildings were chosen in consultation with the ministries in charge of the sectors concerned, to be the subject of thermal simulations:
