The need to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in buildings leads to more and more stringent thermal regulations succeeding one another. In 2020, all new buildings should be positive energy buildings producing more energy than they use. Passive strategies, exploiting the resources of the environment, are a key point to meet this objective.In Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot and dry summers, natural ventilation can provide thermal comfort when used wisely. However, its efficiency is highly dependent on local weather conditions and can vary greatly from one site to another. Despite the simplicity of this type of system, its operation can be complex if the user does not have sufficient information and is not always present in the building. This shows the interest of developing appropriate tools for its study and implementing a simple and optimized control on the building, based on occupant comfort.To assess the potential of natural ventilation without the need of complex experimental measurement or modelling, we propose first of all several climate indicators which can give a first view of a site.Then, based on full-scale experimentations and numerical studies, we focus on the problem of measurement in naturally ventilated buildings with particular attention to the airflow rate. The instrumentation of a residential building at IESC (University of Corsica and CNRS) allows to develop and to test simplified models adapted to the case study. The airflow rate is obtained by statistical tools and the thermal model is based on an electrical analogy. Finally, an application of the coupled thermal and airflow model is proposed to highlight its possibilities on different natural ventilation control modes

Since the beginning of industrialization, a large increase of anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere has been detected. This increase is the main cause for the observed climate change. The impacts of climate change on the environment and numerous aspects of human lives have been visible and will become more and more threatening with ongoing climate change. Civil engineering has to deal with changing climate-related hazards such as summer heat, flooding, torrential rain, hail and storm. For none of the mentioned climatic impacts on buildings, the climate change signal is as unambiguous and robust as for summer heat. Thus, actions to protect from summer overheating are highly required. During summer, adults in the Western industrialized states spend about 80 % of their time indoors. Therefore, indoor climate is of essential importance for comfort, mental performance and human health. The impacts of climate change on the built environment in Germany are rarely investigated. It has to be determined whether the building construction details, current design regulations or the design principles have to be revised. This thesis aims to develop a research methodology, which evaluates the impacts of the observed and expected climate change on the protection against summer overheating of existing office buildings. Only thus a possible need for action can be objectively determined and justified. Another major objective is the development of exemplary adaptation measures for various building construction types to ensure the comfort in existing office buildings during summer. Of particular interest is the question if it will be sufficient in the future to use only passive measures or if it will be unavoidable to install technical cooling capacities. The developed adaptation measures should be the basis for building concepts and façade constructions that are able to guarantee high comfort and an improved protection against summer overheating. Furthermore, a method to evaluate the economic efficiency of adaptation measures is demonstrated. To investigate the relationship between building construction and vulnerability, three buildings of different construction year categories have been analyzed using dynamic thermal building simulations. At present, the dynamic thermal building simulation is the most detailed method for evaluating the protection against summer overheating. This is the only method which is able to reproduce complex building concepts and automated systems in sufficient detail. In order to demonstrate the impacts of the observed and projected climate change on buildings between the middle of the 20th century and the end of the 21st century, five climate datasets have been applied. The weak points of the three investigated buildings have been analyzed. Based on this, detailed adaptation measures have been developed and evaluated by thermal building simulations. Comprehensive drawings, which show the adapted building concepts and façade details, will facilitate the application in practice. Different possibilities are demonstrated to express the achieved benefit from the adaptation measures in monetary units. Therefore, adaptation measures can be assessed by investment calculations
