Analisi delle ombre in Via Sambucuccio d'Alando (Piazza Bologna), Roma

Analysis
My building is located in Via Sambucuccio D'alando, near to Piazza Bologna in Rome.
The edifice is formed by seven floor plus a basament level.

I've focused my analysis on the part of the building (colored in red) where my apartment is situated on three different part of the day:
- 8 am ;

- 12 am ;
- 4 pm .

This portion is very interesting for the critical situation of his courtyard.

The near trees don't influence the shadow conditions because the other buildings are very high and shadow my edifice.

In this period of the year , it is shaded for most of the day except for part of the Nord-ovest facade. In this way the apartments not receive enough solar radiation so people are forced to live in a eternal half-light condition.
