ᐅ In winter, it is cold; in summer, it is hot. The choice of material for a house’s structure plays a crucial role in managing indoor climate and energy efficiency throughout the year.

I would also prefer to build in the high-quality, locally typical style. Proper insulation is essential for that. Central ventilation combined with air conditioning to handle the hot summer.

I was once told that wood handles temperature fluctuations best.

No matter what, I would build according to the regional standards. Maybe invest a bit more and, for example, apply waterproofing like a two-component bitumen coating, which also protects against moisture accumulation caused by snow on the walls.

Talk to different contractors in your construction region.

If you ask tradespeople to work with materials they are not familiar with, mistakes are likely to happen.

This is the most valuable advice you can give on the subject! I wouldn’t build with adobe in Germany either, even though, except for the very thick walls, it is almost ideal for a good indoor climate at all outdoor temperatures.

In my region, multi-story residential buildings are made of concrete. They are comfortable in summer, but cold in winter. Therefore, I have decided to ask from an expert’s perspective which option is better. Thank you.

I once had a keyboard like that too...
Concrete is used in multi-story buildings primarily because of its cost-effectiveness and structural properties rather than its climate benefits.
If you choose concrete, you need to pay special attention to the heating and cooling systems. Of course, that is possible. I prefer wood myself – I even built a wooden house here in Germany.
