- Wall surfaces exposed to extreme climatic directions should be used to protect and reduce radiation such as creating a climbing green plate with a combination of sprinklers to prevent wall surface from sudden shrinkage due to heat changes. degree.

- It should be noted that flat roof is actually a sloping roof with a small slope and not flat as . table surface. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the appropriate water distribution with the slope range not too long, with many grooves and water collection holes. Limit obstacles that prevent the direction of drainage on the roof such as decorative columns, flower beds .
