The development of the city of Abidjan in recent years has led to an explosion in the number of buildings. However, hygrothermal comfort in these buildings leaves much to be desired. These buildings therefore consume large amounts of energy to restore comfort. This energy expenditure contributes to global warming through the emission of greenhouse gases. The aim of this study is to check whether buildings in the city of Abidjan are constructed with the climate in mind. To achieve this objective, a bioclimatic study of the city of Abidjan was carried out using the Mahoney and Szokolay methods. The recommendations made by the bioclimatic analysis are then compared with the characteristics of the buildings encountered in the field. The bioclimatic studies carried out during this study and superimposed on the characteristics of the buildings encountered in the field show that the orientation of the buildings encountered in the field in the three municipalities studied was different from that recommended by the bioclimatic study. The construction of the various buildings did not take into account the elements of the climate in order to achieve thermal comfort with low energy consumption. To overcome these problems, a set of recommendations derived from the bioclimatic study was proposed.
