The Impact of Roofing Systems on the Environmental Performance of Buildings in Basra, Iraq
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The environment of Basra city is characterized by being hot and humid in summer and moderate in winter.This causes the upper floors of dwellings and outdoor spaces to become excessively hot and unusable.Moreover, sometimes, they are the primary source of heat transfer into the dwelling.Therefore, users sometimes use coverings for some spaces to obtain a usable space.Thus, the research formulates its problem as the need to study the role of space coverage in the architectural and environmental revitalization of spaces.Several studies have highlighted the importance of roofs concerning their shape, materials, and role in buildings.This study aims to assess the impact of roofing systems on the environmental performance of residential buildings in Basra.This study employs two approaches: a questionnaire survey conducted on a randomly selected community sample and an environmental simulation model analyzing the effects of roof modifications on building performance.The study shows that roofing systems can reduce indoor temperatures by 1.2 to 2, thereby improving thermal comfort in Basra's hot climate.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
