Minimisation Of Energy Consumption Of A Bioclimatic Building Based On Heat Balance Study And Stand-Alone Pv System Sizing Using Llp

Bioclimatic buildings are very comfortable habitats for significant savings in the consumption of daily energy. They help to protect the environment by preventing the emission of dust and pollutant gases into the atmosphere. In this paper, a sizing method is proposed that ensures a suitable internal climate with adequate comfort. First, a simple algorithm is used for the estimation of the heat balance and performance of a typical bioclimatic house in the region of Laghouat, Algeria. Second, the load demand is assured using an optimal stand-alone photovoltaic system sizing method based on the loss of load probability method (LLP) while ensuring the minimum cost of the system. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method that can be used to develop an optimal building sizing project in all its dimensions, in particular to reduce the overall budget of the operation.
