Solar Path & Daylight Analysis
Interactive sun path visualisation powered by the 3D Sun-Path tool by Dr. Andrew Marsh, used for educational and design research purposes.
Using advanced geolocation data, we determine the exact tilt, shading, and glazing requirements for every facade, ensuring year-round thermal comfort without reliance on heavy HVAC systems.
Passive Solar Design Methodology
Our approach to sustainable architecture is grounded in rigorous solar radiation analysis and thermal performance optimization.
South Elevation Mitigation Strategies
Our technical studies demonstrate how proposed brick facade geometries on south elevations significantly reduce solar radiation impact. By optimizing the angular orientation of the facade, we mitigate the harsh 74° solar inclination, creating a natural thermal buffer for the building envelope.
Angular Shading Geometry
Tilted brickwork arrangements reduce the direct heated area by over 50%, intercepting high-angle summer rays before they hit the primary wall surface.
Integrated Thermal Buffer
Strategic use of hollow blocks and ventilated plaster layers provides natural insulation, preventing heat transfer to the building's core.
Performance Documentation
Detailed technical drawings and specifications ensure proper implementation of passive strategies.
