RESEARCH TOPIC :


Global energy and climate issues are a real concern on a planetary scale with political and socio-economic actions to address them. The housing sector is a very energy-intensive sector and emits a lot of GHGs. In this regard, some town planners or architects are breaking with traditional methods. This is all the more true when it comes to building around historic towns. How to integrate architectural progress into their construction and improve their energy performance while preserving a construction harmony with the historic site? Moreover, the vernacular houses that make up these cities should not be forgotten in improving their energy efficiency. It remains to be seen how they can benefit from technological progress or, on the contrary, feed modern constructions with their architectural know-how. This thesis seeks to answer these questions and will propose a new model of house  combining energy sobriety with the intersection of vernacular approaches

KEYWORDS :

Vernacular house, thermal comfort, energy efficiency.
