Abstract
This paper aims to discussing some studies that have proposed in order to create an acceptable thermal comfort and improve people’s quality of life in Algerian Saharan contemporary buildings. On the other hand and in climate conditions of Ouargla town situated in northern east of Algerian Sahara, the impact of insulation in the cooling load of one room with air condition of 26 °C was studied. The investigation finds that the energy demand for summer cooling was lower in the case of insulated exterior walls; the peak cooling load was in the region of 1.2 kW.
