What direction are the apartments facing to ensure energy efficiency, since we are in the tropics in the Northern Hemisphere? I want to build a house so reading up as much as I can.

BloomingDale: Good to know you are doing this research and I urge you to keep up the enthusiasm. Solar studies are necessary design and site analysis done by the Architect to create functional spaces, and minimize artificial ventilation, to provide sustainable projects and reducing cost and overall environmental carbon footprint. Making cross ventilation and thermal comfort a result, thus, eliminating the sick building syndrome. Unfortunately, the various stakeholders (developers, designers, town planning authority, general public) over look this initial analysis. This comes at a very high cost during post construction, as often the building depreciate rapidly, developing a high cost for HVAC and other services. A lot of factors determine how the facade/envelope of a structure is oriented. Also, material, client brief, and design. The Architect must(or should) visit the site to take all the necessary observation to enhance Building Biology implementing the following:- Compass (True North), Local climatic zone, terrain/landscape, existing landmark/building, trade winds direction, Existing building line, water line, Datum measurements, Setbacks and Air spaces etc, to properly design a functional Build to avoid a Sick building syndrome. Always engage your Architects/Consultant to prioritize this during design. ( Never underestimate a good Design, because design is everything!!!). Even our forefathers and foremothers knew the importance in our vernacular Architecture, utilizing local materials, ensuring steady maintenance and sustainability, whlie solving local thermal comfort, and not COPY and PASTE. The floor plate the Op attached takes no consideration for cross ventilation or stack effect etc . Illumination will also be a challenge with singular fenestration. #"Respect the Architect" |
