Haeting and cooling round buildings depends on the system and how it performs. Heating and cooling systems are not any easier to install in round buildings but are able to keep the environment cool or warm.
Buildings take energy to heat them and cool them. No insulation means the heat or cool escapes to the atmosphere and wastes/costs energy (and money).
geothermal power allows heat pumps to heat & cool buildings.
Insulation allows buildings to retain heat or to reduce the heat coming into the building. This helps to preserve energy resources by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat or cool the building.
The smaller the ear the less heat lost and having it round is an disadvantage as it is not streamline and an easier target in a fight

Pros of mud buildings are having the material to build in site, the uniqueness, and the cool temperature in the heat. Cons are that it tends to smell funny and the walls will start to crumble if you don't reseal often.
The urban heat island effect is a warming effect. Unban means 'city'. Buildings and roads retain more heat and warm the air around them, so cities are warmer then the countryside.
Heat travels from warm to cool.
I suppose you mean why are cities usually hotter than surrounding open country areas? This is due to several effects: buildings absorb more heat from the sun, buildings are usually heated inside, dense road traffic produces heat and in narrow streets this can't easily escape. In summer conditions many buildings have air conditioning. this keeps them cool inside but the heat rejected to the outside can only appear in the general atmosphere in the city.
i set my thermostat to cool, my heat pump start it go to heat but not cool, i think the thermostat. can u help.
1) Mass of the buildings. 2) Heat absorption of paved surfaces vs dirt/grass/trees. 3) The heat generated by the vertiginous population.
Aluminum foil has a lower specific heat than a fatty food such as pizza. A lower specific heat means it takes less energy to heat it up, and it releases energy easier.
