Abstract
The researcher was noticed that through his study for Iraqi residence building for low income people, the big similarity of its architectural design appearance. Therefore, he was selected one of that; he was calculated its cooling load (heat leakage through glasses, walls and roof areas) and its electrical energy con gumptions during 12 hours/day, 30 day/month for summer months. The researcher was changed the three parameters and replication that calculation in each once:- • Building orientation (the researcher assumed that building would be constructs in eight orientations. • Building materials (the researcher assumed that building would be constructs with five different types of walls and roofs). • Construction position (the researcher assumed the building area latitude would be constructs with five position in Iraq). At last ,the researcher found that , the good orientation for that selected building is South East – North West , which it consumed minimum energy for cooling purpose , and that energy that building value was increased by 8% when rotated to North East –South West and became 15% with East – West and 23% with North – South orientations and also , the researcher found that , the good orientation is the same even if construction position variation , but the energy required for cooling purpose is varied , maximum energy saving about 14% when the construction position was replaced from Basra to al-moosel , and finally , the researcher found also , the energy saving about 16.69% when building materials were replaced from ordinary brick to thermoston brick with thermal insulation material and is 34.3% when usage thermal insulation material (5 cm thickness ) in roof.
