Smart Housing

Overview

By selecting the best orientation for your house, you can take advantage of natural climatic conditions such as lighting, ventilation and shading. By maximising natural lighting, ventilation and shading, you can work with nature’s elements to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. This will reduce the need for artificial cooling and heating, delivering direct benefits to you by reducing energy costs. You will also be contributing to a cleaner, improved environment by actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

You can select the best orientation for your house with a sun path diagram.
