Computing tools are usually used to describe, represent or simulate a field. In the architectural field these tools are also used to represent building elements to quantify any energy consumption.Conceptual modelling is a way to represent a domain order to explain some actions. In our case, we will use this technic to reach to steps.The first one concerns the description and the explanation about the spatial organization to better understand the relationship between the house and the outside environment.The second one concerns the description of the spatial organization of a house to identify the better point to manage the energy consumption to enable designers to be inspired from these houses organization to design their knew projects. The tested corpora concerns the traditional Algerian houses.Nowadays, the question related to the energy consumption is very important specifically in our country. Several researches used computing software to evaluate and compute the energy consumption thanks to some measuring or simulation tools. In our case, we will use a part of computing tools to better understand the spatial organization and the architectural disposal related to the environment. This part of the computing tools calls the conceptual modelling which aims to describe a domain from a conceptual point of view. This comprehension can help designers to better suggest their new projects. These projects should include varied environment disposal inspired from the studied examples.The following paper present results obtained with post graduated students.
