The diagrams illustrates how houses are designed for cool and warm climates. Overall, houses made for warm climates are split into two different states depending on the time of day, whereas cool climate houses remain the same throughout the day, each with their own specialized building materials and housing shape.
In more detail, houses made for the cool climate use thermal building materials, which are materials use to trap and contain heat. Additionally, they also use specially designed insulation in order to prevent the loss of heating within the confines of the building. The roof is angled in a steep angle, and there is only one window made for sunlight to come in in a similarly steep angle.
Conversely, houses made for warm climates use reflective building materials instead to reduce the buildup of heat. The roofs are designed in a more conventional matter, forming a blunt angle at the highest point of the house. Additionally, they are also paired with roof overhangs to provide shade. During the day, the two windows are closed and covered to reduce the buildup of temperature, whereas in the night, the windows are opened to remove the stored heat within the building. Similarly, houses made for warm environments also use insulation, but it is done in a smaller scale compared to cool climate housing. In conclusion, while they share the same insulation and overall structure, there is a striking difference between them in the shape of the building and the materials used.
