Study of the Amount of Solar Heat through the Walls of a House Built in Bujumbura City with Different Materials and Choice of a Proper Facades Orientation for Its Internal Comfort

摘要

The beauty of a house is not limited only on the conceptual, architectural or aesthetic aspect; it must also take account of its internal comfort, which necessarily has a positive or negative impact on the health of occupants. To build a house with internal comfort, in addition to the parameters mentioned above, other parameters are taken into account like the orientation of walls with respect to the solar path, the materials of the building envelope, the area of the wall panels and frames, the protection of openings, the equipment selection and operation of the house. The purpose of this study is to make comparative analysis of the heat supply by solar radiation on the wall in solid walls built of exposed solid baked bricks, baked bricks with coated concrete and tinted glazing of a single level house built in Bujumbura city. The data on maximum solar heat loads of Burundian the different possibilities to guide the orientation of walls allowed us to calculate the solar heat on walls of a house constructed in Bujumbura city using different materials including glazing.
