| Popis: |
South Algeria has a vast area with an arid climate. The summer season is characterized by the high-level use of conventional air in the residential sector. The stage of consumption in this sector is one of the major concerns expressed in the framework of the Algerian energy consumption model. The bioclimatic house standard is rapidly spreading across the world, it becomes necessary for Algeria to exploit this standard for facing the important increase in electricity consumption. In Algeria, fossil fuels are the largest source of electricity production. The environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels are well known: air pollution, greenhouse gases, and aerosol production. Ksar’s architecture has been recognized as an example of adaptation in the desert climate in Algeria. This work presents useful ancient energy technology that has been used many years for the natural cooling of ancient buildings during the summer season in the South of Algeria. The investigation finds that two vernacular bioclimatic strategies can be translated to the present constructions: massive side walls and natural ventilation. |
