Abstrakt: The purpose of our research is to test the effectiveness of some basic configurations of natural ventilation on the thermal comfort of occupants for different climates. The study focuses on the Algerian climate. Seven cities were selected from the new climate zoning of Algeria proposed by [1]. To evaluate the potential of the selected configurations and given the diversified nature of the Algerian climate, the study will focus on the mid-season period that includes the months of May September and October and the summer season for the months of June, July and August. The study was carried out through numerical simulations using the TRNSYS software coupled with the COMIS aeraulic software. The results of the simulations showed the contribution of natural chimney ventilation caused by the stairwell to improve occupant comfort Its integration, however, requires a judicious and permanent control to guard against the falls of temperatures or the risks of overheating.
