Abstract
Algeria’s energy needs are actually satisfied mainly through the use of hydrocarbons. Demand for energy is growing exponentially because the population is growing massively and the building sector is in full expansion in order to address and solve the problems of housing, health and education. In 2011, Algeria initiated a dynamic green energy program by launching an ambitious development project aims at developing a renewable energy power source of 22000 MW and to save more than 60 Million TOE in energy efficiency by the year 2030. Our research topic is linked to the energy efficiency program initiated in Algeria. The objective of this article in to present a study carried out on the thermal performance of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) and their integration in buildings in order to achieve thermal comfort and to reduce the energy consumption. Then, an investigation on the capacity of using (PCMs) in Algeria is presented for a sustainable development and rational energy consumption.
