Youth Club, Tunisia

Outdoor and indoor climate measurements during operation showed that the building design was suitable for the hot-arid climate. However, a 'bad' user behaviour decreased the efficiency of the climatic design, and it was concluded that more information and training of the managers and users were required, as well as more adapted devices for user operation.
