Illustrated in the three pictures is a range of principles of house layout for different climate conditions.
Generally, it is clear that the major concepts involved in this house design are as follows. Moreover, insulation and reflective roof material play a significant role in shaping the house outline.
Regarding cool climate, thermal building materials and high-angled roof are the prerequisites to form the structure of the house. Furthermore, windows are designed towards the direction of sun to allow sunlight to come in. Surrounding walls are equipped with a insulated layer, helping the house reduce the amount of heat loss.
In terms of warm climate, the house design is planned for both day and night. With regard to the former, high-angled roof is installed with a reflective material, along with an external insulated layer, to prevent sunlight from invading into the house. Additionally, windows are always closed and covered with the roof overhanging for shade in order to maintain a stable level of temperature inside. In reference to the latter, one of the most striking features of the house design is the ventilation system, equipped to remove stored heat in day. In addition, windows are opened to help decline the inside temperature
