Abstract
Although the applications of renewable energy in Libya were started in the last few decades, they have only gained momentum in the last few years. Considering the past gained experience, a proposed national Renewable Energy plan aims toward bringing RE into the main stream of the national energy supply system with a target contribution of 10% of the electricity demand by the year 2020. The aim of this paper is to design a house that works with some renewable energy applications in one of the Libyan cities called Bani Walid. This paper includes some important steps for designing a home such as solar home design steps, wind energy calculations, battery sizing, and cost considerations.
