Covering Building Faced Effection & Energy Conservation (Experimental Study)

Abstract

The objective of this work is reduction the electrical energy consumption for cooling building by environmental effect reduction in summer seasons, by re-covering building faced principle, therefore was selected low weight, low cost and easy assembly materials (Hollow plastic decoration or Formica layer with fiber wood) which used with or without insulating materials.The study occurs at Baghdad city (latitude 33.2°N).The researcher found that, the using plastic finishing decorative with insulating materials saved 35% from annual electrical energy, but that saved become 41% when using fiber wood with Formica layer, but become 52% when used insulated reflective surfaces.
