Abstract
The object of this paper, is to study the effect of shading and painting the surfaces of buildings on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere as a result of the consumption of electrical energy used in buildings for air conditioning and thus on global warming for the city of Baghdad. It was found that the effect of an umbrella made of reeds is the largest reduction in the amount of energy used to adapt the built environment and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere arises from the use of white, gray and black surfaces in the months that temperature is greater than 25Co.While there is in addition a larger amount of energy used to adapt the built environment and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere arises from the use of painted surface with color white, gray and black in the months that the temperature is less than 25Co. It has been found that lifting of an umbrella in the months that the temperature is less than 25Co improves performances of surfaces shaded and makes it better than the surfaces with white paint and nearly performance of surfaces with black color and thus reduces the consumption of electric power used in the air conditioning of building and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and less effects of global warming
