Additionally, the roof mustbe functional, ensuring a safe, healthy, andcomfortable indoor environment regardinghumidity, temperature, and air quality. For aroof to fulfill these functions, it is importantthat the design takes into account the climaticconditions and the architectural specifics ofthe area where the construction is located. Inthis article, we will analyze two roof optionsfor the upper ceiling of a residential building.The first option is the high-pitched roof of theframe type, and the second is the nonwalkableterrace roof.
