COSTING:

It is cost analyzed for example on the 15 ft X12 ft roof on the rural house room.

Team No.	Materials	Costing (BDT)
01	Bamboo	30x200=6000
02	Labor	2727
03	Mud	1090
04	Plastic Sheet	550
05	Rope	400
06	Other	500
	Total	11267  ( BDT)

The significant percentage of cost is in bamboo. Bamboo is very cheap in cost in the rural areas of Bangladesh. The smallest cost is in plastic and rope. A quarter of cost is labor cost. In the rural areas laborers are easily available. Rough a half quarter percent cost is in mud. Our country is land of soil. So cost on mud is also low.     

Picture: Construction of Mud-Bamboo Heat Proof, Sustainable Low Cost Roof Technology in Bangladesh

Temperature Variation:

It is inserted the some value of temperature and humidity difference with date and time. Here is inserted some data for example with this process two month data is collected.

Conclusion:

From the above study following conclusions can be drawn-

It is clear that greatest percentage of cost is in Bamboo. And another important cost is in labor cost. Bamboo and laborers are locally available. So this costs very less. It is a low cost technique. Bamboo cost is the more cost it 55% of the total cost in Bamboo Mud Heat Proof Roof Technology in rural Bangladesh.

The temperature in the room on which the bamboo mud heat proof roof is constructed is always low temperature at the summer season. The temperature difference outside and the inside of the room is 2 degree Celsius to 6 degree Celsius in the summer season and humidity is also less in the inner of the room. But in the winter season it is quite different, the room temperature is more than the outside temperature and the temperature difference is 2 degree Celsius to 5 degree. The room is comfort in the both major season as summer & winter season in Bangladesh and many of agricultural harvested crops can be stored on the roof for a long time these are the reasons for the popularity of the roof technology in rural Bangladesh.
