Introduction Lebanon has a moderate Mediterranean Climate. In coastal areas, winters are generally cool and rainy whilst summers are warm. Lebanon has no fossil fuel resources. 98% of all energy needs are met with imports of petroleum products.

Mean overheating reduction (in percentage of the base case) for θ r =26 o C Night ventilation External shading External insulation Better glazing Combinations Internal mass and night-time ventilation Selected Results

Heating Loads are minimal and can be eliminated by implementing some measures like external insulations, better glazing. Latent cooling load variations in different scenarios are rather small (4-6 kWh.m -2. a -1 ); increase is due to higher ventilations input. Sensible cooling loads are significant. 60% Less Cooling loads can be achieved by combining external shading, high night time ventilations,efficient lightings, and using daylight. Overheating reduction potential is likewise substantial and can reach up to 68%. Conclusion
