Smart Buildings and Occupants Satisfaction: The Case of Cyber Park of Sidi Abdallâh and Some Residential Buildings in Algeria

Abstract

We have contributed to explain how the project managers and promoters proceed to realize smart buildings, how to optimize their energy efficiency by allowing an effective management of the resources with a minimum of costs. This by analysing some examples of smart residential buildings in Algeria. Then, we tried to find the satisfaction degree that these buildings offer to their occupants, but for this part, it concerns a tertiary building, by doing a diagnosis at the cyber park site of Sidi Abdallah and using also a satisfaction survey. This study demonstrate that for succeeding such as building and its good energy management, also its techniques related to home automation; integration of smart systems, a less energy consuming. It is necessary to ensure that these facilities meet the needs of the users, ensure the simplicity of use to suit the equipment whether in terms of operation or programming, the reliability and durability of equipment too that does not slow down consumers in their acceptance.
