Summary
The climatic conditions of Jodhpur are characterized as hot and dry. It is inferred that: 1) evaporative cooling with an air cavity in the roof is the best option to reduce the incoming heat flux through the roof if water is easily available; and 2) a thin layer of cow dung slurry inside the wall cavity reduces the incoming heat flux through the walls. It is better than solid walls and air cavity walls.
