The diagrams illustrate how climate influences the design of houses. It can be noticed that the roof, windows and building materials of houses in cool and warm climates are considerably different.  

In cool climates, special attention is given to the use of building materials that can store heat, and insulation is used on the outside of the house to avoid heat loss. Careful positioning of the building and large windows facing winter sunlight also assist to passively heat the house. The roof has an extreme angle to assist the snow to run off and roof overhang does not interfere with sunlight.  

Houses in warm climates require the opposite approach. Insulation and reflective roof material aim to keep heat from the sun out. Windows are placed under a wider roof overhang so that they are shaded from direct light in the day and so that cooler night air can move through the house when the windows are open.
