Settlement design by Raquel, information by Jada.
The settlement needs to have thermal insulation, needs to be airtight, and have air locks.
According to Imagineering on Mars “For greenhouse like shelters, multi-layer reflective type plastic films could be used. The films need to be designed so visible sunlight light would pass into the shelter but would block infrared heat light from escaping. This technique is often used in greenhouses on earth using panes of glass to trap the heat.”
