摘要

In order to promote and adapt energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energy in the building and civil engineering sectors, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas (case of Khouribga, Morocco), this study aims to strengthen national energy security. It also contributes to the development of a sustainable energy reservoir, generating significant economic benefits and long-term geopolitical advantages. This work proposes a methodological framework for integrating solar energy into civil engineering and building design to foster innovative and sustainable urban development. Focusing on arid regions, and particularly on the city of Khouribga, we use the Davies & Hay model and MATLAB simulations to optimize building orientation and facade tilt. As part of this study, we develop solar gain maps based on facade inclination and orientation in order to maximize energy potential in urban settings. This methodological framework supports the efficient deployment of solar systems and serves as a decision-making tool for architects, urban planners, and policymakers engaged in designing sustainable and smart eco-cities.
