Abstract: In this work, it will be presented the preliminary phases as well as the tools and methods that will be used to set the future thermal standard of buildings in Algeria. The actual state of building sector is briefly presented as well as national potentialities to improve thermal quality. Processing of most significant meteorological data was carried out in order to establish climatic maps of territory and calculate ambient base temperatures for heating and cooling needs. The thermal exigences are of two orders: comfort and energy savings. Calculations will be directed towards use of dynamic tools and development of simplified methods. TRNSYS code constitutes way to validate them or to determine technical solutions.
