Popis: One of the most important problems in Iraq is the insufficient and inefficiency of the electrical power generating station, that is causing many problems in the availability of electricity in public and private buildings. This problem is leading to use privet power generators, causing air pollution and highly energy consumption. The second exploratory symposium “the reality of power in Iraq and its impact on the society” which had been held on May 2011 in Iraq proposed a large number of recommendations, a standout amongst these proposals was: urge the utilization of the thermal insulation in the building’s roofs to reduce the energy consumption. This study will prompt to the new idea of “living cool” in the Iraqi houses and different types of buildings throughout the day without the electricity’s power using by utilizing the new thermal insulation technology. This study eventually examines the idea of the “COOL ROOF” innovation to Iraqi’s houses and public buildings. The problem of the energy consumption might be the critical issue over the world generally, what’s more done Iraq specially. The transmission of the energy through top roofs might be more than (50%) starting with those general transmission energies through the other surfaces. Roofs with “high solar reflection”, high daylight reflection and high thermal emittance “high heat radiant” are remaining unflappable throughout the day. Previous researches approved that “the roof surfaces with low thermal emittances properties and high solar reflection might also remain cool in the sun and throughout the day. Use this type of roofs (cool roof) will reduce cooling electricity power in the different types of buildings in Iraq. Cool roofs can also reduce the citywide encompassing air temperature over summer by decreasing those gigantic number for air-conditioning equipment, abating ozone framing furthermore, eventually expanding human comfort demands by using the nature and minimum requirements to reach human comfortable zones. This research has been used practical details to apply the cool roof technology in Iraq.
