Abstract
The research topic of reducing energy consumption to approach the limits of thermal comfort inside the buildings and call to make buildings more suitable for local climate in the hot dry regions, and we have paid for that is what we found happening in some of the construction methods used in some areas of Iraq, including the city of Mosul, Sulaymaniyah and Dohuk, Erbil and Kirkuk, which many the use of the concrete block and solid in construction work, and to provide information which would reveal the impact of the use of building materials and design practices to improve the thermal performance of the approach of thermal comfort. To achieve the aim of the research has been the use of the scale (Mahoney) Amended and of climatic data for the city of Mosul, to gain access to indicators and general recommendations and detailed, and build a virtual model and the extrapolation of these indicators through an analytical study of (32) and the situation is different in two phases, thermal performance and to identify and compare the performance of default under the model indicators: 1- Changing of construction constituents. 2- Changing of plan direction. 3- Adopting the compact plan. 4- Reducing the rate of openings to 15% of the area of the wall. The research has shown that there is positive improvement in reducing energy load in case of changing the index of construction constituents from nearly 13% to 63%. and in the case of combined indications it would reach to nearly 66% and to higher costs of insulation and wrapping which might reach to 86%, which showed that the rejection method using solid blocks will change a lot of the need to adapt to the artificial energy buildings and the shortcut from the energy consumption
