The roof extends well beyond the walls to shade the windows from the high harsh sun in the
summer, but the lower level sun in the winter warms the home. Tiles throughout provide a cooling floor in the summer and hold the heat from the incoming sun in the winter. During the extremes of the seasons you may need to use the heating or cooling system, but it is not a neccessity.
