Home Structure Climate control Roof design

Roof design

A home’s roof plays a huge role in how effectively it’s heated and cooled. A roof that’s designed with the house’s position and climate in mind can vastly improve how the climate in your home is regulated.

Heat rises up from your home into the roof cavity, and at the same time, the sun beats down on your roof surface, heating it from above. For these reasons your roof plays a huge role in how well your home’s climate is controlled. Learn more about roof design and how it affects your ability to passively heat and cool your home.
