The diagrams below show some principles of house design for cool and for warm climates. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates how houses are designed in cool climates and warm climates.

Overall

it can be seen that thermal insulation and steep roofing are done in cool conditions.

Whereas

, warm-weather houses utilise sloped roofs and window coverings. First off, homes in cooler weather have their roofs slanted upwards at an almost

angle facing the sign to let in maximum sunlight.

Similarly

, the windows are wide and not covered to allow as much sunlight to warm the house.

Moreover

, they make use of thermal building material and internal wall insulation both helping to keep the heat stored overnight.

On the other hand

, homes in warm climates have sloped roofs angling downwards with roof overhangs to provide extra protection from the warmth of the sun. To add to

this

, they have reflective roof material on the outside and external insulation to maximize heat protection. The windows are kept closed and covered during the day.

However

, at night they are open to ventilate the house and get rid of the warm air stored inside.
