Hot and Cold

            What would be a more comfortable climate to build a house and live? Hot or cold weather. To build in hot climate you would want to put lighter color paint on your house, good insulation and tight construction. You also would want to make the overhang of your roof to hang lower so that way it keeps direct sunlight out of your house. Your also would want to place windows on the north and east sides of your house and carefully place shade trees. It’s also good to use deep porches for window shading. You should also place convection holes at the top of your house to let heat air escape. It would also be helpful to build near a large body of water to allow a cool breeze to hit your house.
