ABSTRACT
Buildings supposed to shield their occupant from the
perturbing solar radiation which especially in the hot dry climate of
Yola pose problems of high indoor temperatures, thermal and visual
discomfort among others. But to what extend does the Architectural solar
control measures viz; shading, building orientation with respect to
cardinal direction, and design or planning affect cooling. The current
study examined effect of exploiting these strategies on passive cooling
in dormitory buildings in MAUTECH with the aim of enhancing passive
cooling through solar control. The study is a Case Study research and
the unit is dormitory buildings in MAUTECH from which sample was drawn
(the 5 hostel) for the purpose of the study. six rooms were chosen
Purposively from each of 4 building purposively selected from the
deliberately chosen Kabir Umar Hostel; oriented to N/S and E/W with and
without vegetation in their courtyard that are identical in all
parameters such as; area, geometry, windows design, glazing area and
transmittance and from them the necessary Quantitative data was obtained
Using Testo 405 thermal anemometer and the readings for air temperature
and air speed was observed for indoor, outdoor and courtyard of the 24
and also of the hostel common room at morning, afternoon, and evening
for 14days. The collected data was presented and analyze statistically
by calculating the mean and standard deviation and reduction in % for
each rooms and compared and from there conclusions was drawn. The
results showed that the reduction in heat gain varies with time of day
and the temperature of rooms in building oriented N/S with vegetation
compared to that of E/W without vegetation is reduced significantly and
that orientation with respect to cardinal direction does not affect the
mean ventilation coefficient. At the time of measurements, it was also
revealed that the effectiveness of the hostel design in term of passive
cooling doesn’t meet the required level hence recommended for
retrofitting by insulating external wall and roof, increase sizes of
window openings, etc.
