Sustainability and energy conservation of the building is provided by the solar
orientation of the openings. This analysis uses the details of these opaque parts
and openings due to their inflexible direction towards the holy city of Mecca. The
exchange of air and natural cooling is provided by openings found on the cover as
well as a combined system of skylights and solar shading. This combined system is
adjustable according to the change of seasons and inclination in order to decrease
the heat load during the summer and to get extra heat loads during the winter.
