- Fixed shading devices are installed mainly on the south-facing windows. - External insulation , and dense materials like concrete, bricks, have been used in passive design to absorb, store, and re-release thermal energy. - Trees are properly located and used for shading. Vegetation, pools and canals around buildings contribute to an evaporative cooling strategy. - Al-Qasr Mina Al-Salam Dar Al-Masyaf Conference Hall Souk
