Abstract:

Buildings forms in the hot dry region of the tropics had evolved gradually by process of trial and error, using techniques and available materials. The traditional building construction in the hot dry tropic is of massive loadbearing walls and thick roofs. These two elements have a considerable heat storage capacity. The heavy structure absorbs heat during the day and released it gradually during the day whenever external or internal temperatures are lower. They also modify the temperature fluctuation and keep the interior comparatively cooler. The performance is satisfactory up to certain extent.
