Climatology Design is extremely important in optimising human comfort and minimising energy use in a house. A house that is designed to utilise the conditions of its surrounding environment can minimise energy use, and costs, and guarantee a comfortable living space. There are many factors that can effect the efficiency of energy use in a house. These can vary from the topography, aspect, vegetation types to the climate. Climate varies across the world as does housing designs to suit these climates. Australia is a very large continent and as a result of that has a varied climate. Darwin and Hobart are two examples of the different extremes of Australia’s climate. Darwin, located in the far north of Australia has a hot humid climate. Hobart, the southern most city of Australia has a cool temperate climate. Being in such different climates it is only rational that houses would be designed differently to optimise comfort and minimise energy use. Design is very important in hou...
