Abstract

This paper deals with the energy consumption in the residential building in a Mediterranean climate with half level system which is a typology that has not been studied before referring by analogy to the honeycomb. For this purpose, we used the finite volume method presented by a numerical simulation on the Energy plus/open studio software. Two simulations were made, the first one presents the current use of the house and the second one shows the energetic use with the passive system that was developed with the modifications applied on the shape of the building. The results show that the cooling needs have decreased by 40% and the consumption per hour in August goes from 2.3 kWh to 1.4 kWh. Finally, it was found that the modifications applied on the building really decreased the energy consumption by 30%.
