Parametric study of the thermal performance of a typical administrative building in the six thermal zones according to the RTCM, using TRNSYS

Abstract

In this work, we present a parametric study of a new administrative building, located in El-Ksar El Kebir region (Morocco). In order to have a building that complies with the RTCM in a technically and economically sound manner, we have carried out a number of interventions to insulate the components of the building, namely external walls, exposed roofs and openings. In this perspective, we have modelled the building envelope as a multi-zone building in TRNSYS and we have adopted an occupation scenario for this type of building. After determining the optimal insulation solutions, we simulated the administrative building in the five other thermal zones, to determine its feasibility in the latter.
