Abstract

In the context of Algerian energy and environmental concerns and its aspirations for energy transition, this article examines the pre- and post-state of a multi-family residential building in the city of Skikda, in northern Algeria, utilizing the UBEM reduced-order approach, alongside QGIS, CEA and METEONORM tools. Primarily focusing on the building's solar exposure, energy aspects, and environmental considerations. Six hybrid renovation scenarios were considered then, and assessed for their contribution for energy savings and ecological improvement. The main results revealed that 87% of annual energy requirements were related to heating and hot water, which are supplied by a natural gas system, a source of various types of greenhouse gases, which suggested the use of triple glazing, with or without two selective low-emissivity coatings only, or be combined by changing hot-water supply system to an electric one, alongside the installation of the hybrid PVT panels on the south façade. This triple glazing was joint in another scenario by integrating the same type of panels on the roof alongside a seasonal thermal energy storage system. This latter scenario being the best in terms of energy and ecology, and making the building highly performant in both aspects.

Abstract

The presence of children in public spaces has become a trigging reality to consider, because children use these spaces to play without taking into account their suitability for such activity. This article tackles children's use of the public square as a play space in Batna Province, Algeria. We adopted a mixed methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative elements to study the use and quality of a space used by children. The qualitative component allows us to explore human interactions and the environment, while the spatial analysis gives us an understanding of the physical layout of the context. The quantitative component aims to evaluate the opinions and preferences of children’s carers. To carry out this study, we conducted a field investigation, including direct observation on the site and interviews with children's carers in the square to find out their assessment and opinions on the quality of the space and its use. Moreover, an analytical study of the square plan was also implemented at the spatial and functional level, in order to reveal all the changes in space before and after use by children. The results of the study confirmed the lack of ease and flexibility of this space for use by children, and the results of the interview emphases the achieved findings, because the public space did not take the child as a user of it at all, neither in terms of space, nor planning and equipment, which led to falling into excessive use of it that resulted in lots of problems.

Abstract

The trend of housing quality has become more intricate and has expanded to encompass all aspects of habitat. There are several significant challenges related to improving housing, both socially and in terms of economic and environmental considerations. Discussing the quality of new production methods requires an analysis based on various traditional criteria, using convenient indicators such as cleanliness, stability, safety, comfort, durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. The principal aim of this study is to provide an objective assessment of the quality of Participative Subsidized Housing (LPA) in the municipality of EL-Khroube in Algeria. The methodology employed integrates a field survey and a resident questionnaire to appraise the comfort level offered by this housing type as well as the level of resident satisfaction. The results of the on-site observation indicated that the living environment does not offer an adequate level of comfort. This finding was corroborated by the questionnaire results, which revealed a prevailing sentiment of dissatisfaction among residents. This dissatisfaction can be attributed to issues pertaining to interior comfort and a dearth of local infrastructure and facilities. The results of this study will assist housing stakeholders in enhancing this mode of production through a collaborative and participatory approach.
