The Impact of a New Combination of Insulation Materials on Energy Consumption in Morocco’s Climatic Zoning: The Case of Atlantic, Continental and Mediterranean Climates

In recent years, Morocco has witnessed a steady rise in energy consumption within its building sector, underscoring the pressing need for sustainable construction practices. Research has increasingly focused on optimizing building parameters and exploring novel insulation materials, driven by the substantial energy losses associated with conventional insulation methods. Leveraging advanced insulation materials presents a straightforward and cost-efficient avenue for enhancing building energy efficiency and mitigating environmental impact. A promising approach involves integrating a diverse range of insulation materials, offering a potent solution for realizing substantial energy savings in buildings. This study delves into the numerical exploration of integrating Poncebloc and hemp wool in building construction within the TRNSYS framework. The findings demonstrate that incorporating these materials alongside double-glazed windows can yield energy savings ranging from 50% to 55%.
