Abstract

The mean goal of our current research work is to study the thermal optimization of the Exhibition Hall in an existing structure in Fez, which is considered a vital issue in morocco. The external walls and roofs will be insulated, and an efficient air conditioning, cooling, and heating system will be installed. The building envelope is simulated with TRNSYS as a multi-zone building by employing a specific flexible occupancy scenario, which allowed a proposal of solutions for thermal insulation and the integration of intelligent technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). As an efficient technology for connecting objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) enables better exploitation and collection of building data. This is the ability to connect objects (sensors and actuators) by interacting them with their physical environment, allowing for better control of energy consumption patterns of active and passive customers. Therefore, using dynamic thermal simulation tools such as Revit-Insight 360 and TRNSYS is the main objective to provide a comparative assessment of several possibilities and solutions available to reduce the energy consumption of the exhibition hall.
