Résumé:
This thesis, titled Sustainable Student Housing : A Study on Energy-Efficient Design for
Residences in Blida, explores the development of an off-campus student residence in Ouled
Yaich, near the University of Blida 1. The project responds to the urgent need for quality
student housing by addressing key issues such as energy efficiency, acoustic comfort, and
integration with the urban context. A central objective is to reconnect the city of Blida with
its university, bridging the gap between academic life and urban life. The architectural
approach integrates environmentally responsible strategies, including a deep climatic
analysis to ensure the building responds effectively to local environmental conditions. The
project also proposes the use of photovoltaic panels to enhance energy performance and
reduce reliance on non-renewable resources. A detailed simulation study compares
different types of glazing to determine the most efficient solutions in terms of thermal
performance and natural lighting. In addition, the project addresses nearby noise
pollution through thoughtful spatial and material design. This work combines
environmental theory, digital technology, and urban sensitivity to propose a sustainable,
energy-efficient student residence tailored to its context, enriching both the academic and
social experience of its users.
