The problem

The interaction between human and the environment always appears as an aspect of the major aspects of human civilization, and it appeared clearly in the output architect of many civilizations , especially Islamic architecture

The problem arises as a result of the quotation Western architectural ideas without taking into account of their relationship to their environment direct and characteristics of natural and cultural heritage, which brought about positive interaction between man and his natural environment

The result
High rates of energy consumption

HOW TO KEEP COOL ?


ROOFS:
One good solution is to apply a reflective coating to your existing roof. Two standard roofing coatings are available at your local hardware store or lumberyard. They have both waterproof and reflective properties and are marketed primarily for mobile homes and recreational vehicles.

WALLS:
Wall color is not as important as roof color, but it does affect heat gain somewhat. White exterior walls absorb less heat than dark walls. And light, bright walls increase the longevity of siding, particularly on the east, west, and south sides of the house. Roughly 40% of the unwanted heat that builds up in your home comes in through windows. Reflective window coatings are one way to reflect heat away from your home. These coatings are plastic sheets treated with dyes or thin layers of metal. Besides keeping your house cooler, these reflective coatings cut glare and reduce fading of furniture, draperies, and carpeting

WINDOWS:

BLOCKING THE HEAT


Two excellent methods to block heat are insulation and shading. Insulation helps keep your home comfortable and saves money on mechanical cooling systems such as air conditioners and electric fans. Shading devices block the suns rays and absorb or reflect the solar heat.

INSULATION: Weatherization measures-such as insulating,


weather stripping, and caulking help seal and protect your house against the summer heat in addition to keeping out the winter cold.

SHADINGS: Shading your home can reduce indoor temperatures


by as much as 20F (11C). Effective shading can be provided by trees and other vegetation and exterior or interior shades.

LANDSCAPING:
Landscaping is a natural and beautiful way to shade your home and block the sun. A well-placed tree, bush, or vine can deliver effective shade and add to the aesthetic value of your property. When designing your landscaping, use plants native to your area that survive with minimal care.

SHADING DEVICES:
Both exterior and interior shades control heat gain. Exterior shades are generally more effective than interior shades because they block sunlight before it enters windows. When deciding which devices to use and where to use them, consider whether you are willing to open and close them daily or just put them up for the hottest season. You also want to know how they will affect ventilation

At night, the wind cones reverse roles acting as inlet wind towers drawing cool night air downwards to cool the building structure
