Overall understanding• Mud brick – Low heat radiation, low cost, availability• Thick wall – high insulation• Small windows not facing the sun.• Windcatcher – Air circulation, a pressure gradient used
to get away with the hot air.• Qanat – Used with windcatcher to cool the interior air
by deep cut canal in the floor filled with water.• Screens – Restrict glare of light • No use of R.C.C and Steel for high heat radiation• Courtyard with partial greenery to screen dust and
sand in the prevailing wind.
