ABSTRACT

The presented paper deals with the issue of design of air-conditioning devices in a house located in Libya. Due to high temperatures during the day and much lower temperatures at night, it is not possible to ensure thermal comfort for inhabitants in Libya without having and using an air-conditioning device. This is why there is an analysis of weather and temperature conditions during each season in this country carried out in order to design the device properly. Consequently, calculations of thermal gains are carried out and alternative systems are proposed based on these gains.

Keywords: air-conditioning, heat gains, thermal comfort, weather conditions in Libya
