Heat radiation from sun penetrates the inner space of the buildings through all fabrics, roofs and openings in walls. When the design (orientation, spatial organization, vegetation, shape and size, the site, ventilation, size and types of windows and material selection) of a building is not energy conscious or climate responsive in such a way that it cannot utilize the passive energy to provide visual and thermal comfort for the inhabitants, it becomes necessary to use active energy to provide the comfort. Active energy in terms of electricity can now be used to run electric fans and airconditioners to meet the required thermal comfort and additional electric light to meet the visual comfort. The attainment of a high level of comfort in buildings (residential and public) depends a great deal on the amount of solar radiation excluded from the interior spaces Ajibola, (2011). Design considerations determining human health, comfort and well being in a building should aim at preventing penetration of direct solar radiation, allow for adequate ventilation and illumination (Su et al, 2016).
