The thermal regulation which is under preparation for Tunisian buildings is based on the thermal comfort level achieved in the building by natural means, since residential buildings are rarely heated or cooled. This paper investigates the appropriate building solutions in order to reach the highest possible comfort level, while keeping the overrun cost of construction at a reduced level.
