Why is it important?
These results can be integrated in local building laws and codes, furthermore, it may assist practitioners on the proper selection of passive green building elements and techniques.
Perspectives
I hope this research helps designers in modifying building roof designs ,to be more comfort for external users ,which is most important target for new construction and green buildings
