Nouvelle Souidania, Algeria
Cité Nouvelle Souidania
The main purpose of this project is to build a pilot rural house with three bedrooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom. All of the housing is on the ground level. The energy concept to be followed in this project is based on an integrated approach with a special emphasis on passive techniques such as: • An optimal orientation • The use of natural light • Thermal insulation of the envelope • Use of summer shading • Use of double glazed windows • Natural ventilation in summer

Technical Building Systems
Ventilation system
- Type of ventilation
- Free ventilation (windows)
Space heating system
- Primary Space heating system
- Gas non-condensing
- Description
- The building will use active solar heating with a gas back-up boiler for heating.
- Description
- Solar energy
Water heater system
- Primary water heater system
- Solar Thermal collector on the roof
- Description
- Domestic hot water will be supplied by solar heating system. Collectors will be installed on the roof of the building and the solar tank and controls will be installed near by. The solar collectors should satisfy the demand for heating and DHW with 80%.
Shading devices
- Type of shading system installed
- Static (fix) shading systems as part of the building architecture (e.g. Maschrabiyya, porch roofs, pergolas)
- Description
- Window shading
