Architectural and solar potential of curved and flat roofs in hot arid regions (with reference to Egypt)

This thesis investigates the effect of, various vaulted and domed roof geometries on their solar behaviour under given summer and winter conditions. Roof is the building-envelope element that is most exposed to the sun as it receives a high amount of solar radiation, which is the main cause of summe...
