Description
Summary:This study investigates the compliance of Moroccan public buildings with the thermal regulation (RTCM). It analysis public building envelope typology, the conformity and the impact of RTCM conformity on energy performance across the six climatic zones defined by the RTCM. The outcomes of this research may serve as a decision-support instrument by identifying areas where the thermal regulation is already validated and the potential impact that a public building could undergo by implementing these provisions. Additionally, this study can be viewed as a crucial analysis contributing to the enhancement of the existing regulation. The study emphasizes various extraneous stipulations present within the prevailing regulation. In this work, we have attempted to categorize these stipulations into two distinct groups: recommendations for refinement to be integrated into the regulatory framework, and essential measures to ensure successful implementation of the regulation in the realm of building energy efficiency.
