The diagram below show some principles of house design for cool and for warm climates.

The diagram gives information about the principles to follow when it comes to designing a house for cool or warm temperatures.

Overall

, we can notice that there is an important change between the position of the roof and the amount of insulation in both designs.

By contrast

, the warm climate architecture is divided into two parts depending on the time of the day.

Firstly

, we can see that, for low temperatures, the drawing of the house has a high-angled roof and insulation all around the construction.

However

, when we look closer at the model of the building prepared for high temperatures, we can identify that the roof is made of reflective material and has a totally different design than the first home.

Secondly

, when we pay attention to the composition made for warm climates, we observe that it is separated into two clear parts. At

first,

they present us the layout used for the day, where windows are closed and covered.

Then

, at night, they show us that windows have to be opened to ensure appropriate ventilation.
