Principles of House Design

There are differences between principles of house design for cool and for warm climates. For cool climate, the house has high-angled roof and a window under that roof. It allows direct sun into the house through the window. Thermal building materials are used in order to increase heat. At the roof and external walls, there are insulations. Insulation makes the house more comfortable by reducing the amount of warmth escaping in cool climate. It keeps the house warmer for a longer period of time. For warm climate, the house has overhanged roof in order to prevent direct sun. The material of the roof is reflective so the sun is reflected. There is external insulation at the part of the roof. It makes the house more comfortable by reducing the amount of heat entering in the day. There are two windows. A window is on the left side and another is on the right side. At day, those windows are closed and covered to prevent overheating. At night, windows are opened. They act as ventilators. So, the cool air can enter the house and the heat can remove. That’s the differences between house design for cool and warm climates.
