| Summary: | Currently, the building sector is considered as one of the most affected by the new measures to improve energy efficiency. As it is clear, worldwide buildings are the largest consumer of the final energy consumption. In Algeria, it has been reported that 33% of the overall energy consumption was attributed to buildings. This stems from the design and construction methods of residential buildings, which do not take into account the region’s specific climatic conditions. Many thermal regulations have appeared, and are regularly updated, researches and new techniques are focusing on improving the thermal comfort of buildings while optimizing energy consumption. The study is focused on analyzing the existing residential buildings in Algeria (Mila), in terms of energy efficiency.
