The diagrams illustrates two types of house design for cool and warm climate.
Overall, the biggest difference is the shape of the roofs. Houses designed for cool climates have high angled roofs, while those for warm climates have triangular shaped roofs.
Both house designs use not only special materials but also different design principles. House designed for a cool climate is built to store heat, while the house designed for a warm climate is designed to keep the cool.
In a cool climate, the house is designed to keep heat and minimise heat loss. The roof and walls are fully covered with insulation, and thermal building materials are used to store heat and reduce heat loss. In addition, the window set up on the side facing the sun, which allows sunlight to enter the house and keep warm.
In a warm climate, the house constraction used for keeping cool. During the day, the roof has stick out, which provide shade and reduce the amount of sunlight entering the house. At night, the windows are opened to allow ventilation, which removes the stored heat and cools the house.
