Σύνοψη

This project is indented to examine the strategies for promote solar gain in winterand providing shading and cooling in summer.
First we analyze the method used for winter in order to increase solar gain and reduce losses from the building.
The sun during the winter time is the most effective nature energy for heating the building. For this season the sun during the cooler months of winter must be unobstructed. This is achieved by the use of sun path chart that show the sun path for any day and time of year. The height of the existing buildings also has a major role for unobstructed sun. In Traditional house the existing building was very closed and sometimes there may have a common wall. Therefore, the only way from where the building received solar gain was from the back courtyard.
The orientation of the building is better to enlogate the long axis at east - west direction that is generally more exposed to the sun.
Vegetation during winter around the perimeters of building protects it from the unwanted winter winds and reduces the loss en of thermal radiation from the house.
