THE ROLE OF THE METAL ROOF IN CREATING THE PASSIVE COOLING IN FIRST WESTERN HOUSES (BENGALE): A CASE STUDY

Nowadays, human's environmental threats and resource constraints and increasing attention to new and natural energies have highlighted role of architecture as a consumer of energy and therefore ,great social and architecture movements have looked at green and sustainable architecture Vermicular and traditional building were in harmony with nature and climate such as building that called Bengale and have been made for exploration and extraction of oil from first oil wells of Middle East by British companies in 1908 a.c in order to live in hot and sub humid climate of MasjedSoleiman which has been paid close attention to passive cooling in their design. This article tries to review passive cooling of those building. Climatic indicators was initially studied in Givoni method temperature and humidity registration testing was conducted in terms of refrigerating system shutdown within selected Bengale that achieved quantitative results approved passive cooling efficiency in building. so in July, it shows that temperature of interior towards outside is averagely 9.63 C° lesser .Checking physical reasons for this decrease of temperature in causal relationships and passive cooling analysis based on images and models have led to achieving design provisions of passive cooling methods in this climate.
