Abstract

Among the measures to be taken to design and construct buildings with envelopes that are more energy-efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly is thermal insulation using a very wide range of insulating materials, either synthetic or of natural origin or derived from biomass. The present work represents a thermal and energy study aimed at improving the thermal comfort levels and energy requirements of a typical residential building located in the city of Al-Hoceima, Morocco. To this end, a series of numerical simulations were carried out using TRNSYS software to assess the impact of applying three bio-based insulation materials, namely hemp wool, wood fiber, and expanded cork, in the wall layer of the building. Different insulation scenarios were studied to make a choice that would ensure optimum comfort in the building with low energy demand. The results of this study show that insulating the roof with 8 cm of hemp wool contributes to energy savings of up to 36.7% and 35.2% for cooling and heating demand respectively. In thermal terms, improvements in the temperature inside the building have been achieved: in January, the maximum temperature recorded is 20.94°C, while in July, the maximum temperature is around 26.80°C.

使用生物源材料进行隔热对摩洛哥典型住宅楼热能和能源性能的影响
为了设计和建造更节能、更可持续和更环保的建筑外围护结构,需要采取的措施之一是使用多种隔热材料进行隔热,这些材料可以是合成的,也可以是天然的或从生物质中提取的。本研究是一项热能和能源研究,旨在提高摩洛哥 Al-Hoceima 市典型住宅楼的热舒适度和能源需求。为此,我们使用 TRNSYS 软件进行了一系列数值模拟,以评估在建筑墙体层中应用麻絮、木纤维和膨胀软木这三种生物基隔热材料的影响。对不同的隔热方案进行了研究,以便做出选择,确保建筑物在低能耗需求下达到最佳舒适度。研究结果表明,用 8 厘米厚的麻絮对屋顶进行隔热,在制冷和供暖需求方面可分别节约高达 36.7% 和 35.2% 的能源。在热能方面,建筑物内的温度也得到了改善:1 月份的最高温度为 20.94°C,而 7 月份的最高温度约为 26.80°C。
