The picture below shows different types of house design for both cool and warm climate. The information is shown in the form of schemes of houses.
First of all, houses built for different climate zones differ significantly. For instance, even visually it is possible to recognise a cool climate house as its roof is high-angled, whereas the shape of roof for warm climate building is different with the overhangs for shade and it is made of reflective material.
Moreover, the house for cool climate is designed in the way to be warmed up, so the sun light gets inside directly through the window. Talking about the similar thing in building, the same insulation is used, so that the house does not get the outside temperature. In addition, thermal building material is used for cool climate. Windows play an essential role in warm climate, as they are opened so that the house gets ventilated of stored heat over the night. During the day windows are closed and covered by shade.
