This paper deals with new proposals for the design of passive solutionsadapted to the climate of the highlands of Madagascar. While the strongestpopulation density is located in the central highlands, the problem of thermalcomfort in buildings occurs mainly during winter time. Currently, people useraw wood to warm the poorly designed houses. This leads to a large scaledeforestation of the areas and causes erosion and environmental problems. Themethodology used consisted of the identification of a typical building and of atypical meteorological year. Simulations were carried out using a thermal andairflow software (CODYRUN) to improve each building component (roof, walls,windows, and soil) in such a way as to estimate the influence of some technicalsolutions on each component in terms of thermal comfort. The proposed solutionsalso took into account the use of local materials and the standard of living ofthe country.
