Fortunately there are total of 3 Water Tanks kept on top of my Room.I think it prevents the room temperature from getting too high at daytime.

On top of my room there is solar water heater, it provides shade over my room (technically) but I doubt that water heater doesn't like me. :|

Terrace Cooling

Direction in dia: Left side = WEST & Right = EAST.

Objective: Avoid direct contact of sunlight on roof surface.

Solution: Use 'woven coconut leaf' & stack them on wooden frames. Wooden frames should have slope as shown in dia.
This slope helps in ventilation of hot air between leaf stack & roof surface.

NO need for watering. But for extra cooling at night, water them at around 5pm-6pm.

Wooden Frame: Max height = 3 feet ; Minimum height = 2 feet (approximate)
Use from wooden crates, really economical, DIY recommended.

Woven Coconut leaf cost - really cheap, around Rs.5-10 for 1 woven leaf.

Alternative to Leaf:
1. Jute bag ('bora' in hindi)
2. Construction Safety Net (green colour)

Disadvantage: Takes roof space :p
Extra Advantage: Bio degradable, shelter to birds, squirrels... keep a small bowl of water for them. :))
