Face au développement des différents secteurs économiques qui induisent une consommation énergétique croissante, et qui ont pour résultat un rejet massif de gaz et effet de serre et l’augmentation de la température du globe. Plusieurs mesures ont été prises dans les différents domaines comme celui du bâtiment en développant des modèles de constructions peu énergivore (NZEB) et différents modèles de conforts (ISO7730/ EN15251/ ASHRAE55 adaptatif/ Givoni) afin de réduire l’empreinte carbone des bâtiments et leurs consommations d’énergie. Dans ce contexte, ce travail se pose la question de savoir quel est le meilleur modèle de confort à recommander afin de réduire la consommation énergétique d’un bâtiment de type bureaux dans le climat chaud (cooling dominated) tout en garantissant le confort thermique intérieur. L’objectif de ce mémoire est de (1) Mettre en parallèle à la fois les modèles de confort et la consommation énergétique dans les climats chauds, (2) Choisir le modèle de confort qui nous garantit la meilleure qualité d’environnement intérieure, (3) Comparer la consommation d’énergie du bâtiment pour chaque modèle et choisir le moins énergivore.

Despite the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the challenge of realizing sustainability across the triple bottom line of social, environmental, and economic development remains an urgent priority. If anything, it is now imperative that we work towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the global challenges are significant. Many of the societal challenges represent complex problems that require multifaceted solutions drawing on multidisciplinary approaches.Engineering management involves the management of people and projects related to technological or engineering systems—this includes project management, engineering economy and technology management, as well as the management and leadership of teams. Systems engineering involves the design, integration and management of complex systems over the full life cycle—this includes requirements capture and integrated system design, as well as modelling and simulation. In addition to the theoretical underpinnings of both disciplines, they also provide a range of tools and techniques that can be used to address technological and organisational complexity. The disciplines of engineering management and systems engineering are therefore ideally suited to help tackle both the challenges and the opportunities associated with realising a sustainable future for all.This book provides new insights on how engineering management and systems engineering can be utilised as part of the journey towards sustainability. The book includes a discussion of a broad range of different approaches to investigate sustainability through utilising quantitative, qualitative and conceptual methodologies. The book will be of interest to researchers and students focused on the field of sustainability as well as practitioners concerned with devising strategies for sustainable development.

This book focuses on the much-needed efforts to design sustainable, well-being-oriented economies, based on appropriate energy use in all sectors of a country´s development. Carbon neutrality, energy efficiency and effectiveness, renewable energies, circular economy strategies, environmental consequences of energy use, engagement and empowerment of local communities in decision making, energy and environmental impacts of consumer behavior, and finally science-based approaches towards sustainable production and consumption are the main focus of the research activities described within this book. An effort to go beyond energy scarcity, to promote energy communities, to explore new technologies, and overall, to understand and address the population-lifestyle-energy nexus towards increased and shared well-being is the final result jointly provided by the book authors. All in all, the aim is for the book to be the starting point of a deeper research and understanding of the importance of a radical improvement in energy use in society, beyond considering energy as just a resource in the world market. Circular economy aspects are also investigated, showing the energy saving potential associated with the appropriate design and recovery of material resources.
