second exercise_solar radiation

In this second exercise I analised the solar radiation of my building.

To start the analysis of the sun radiation I used the comand "Analyze" and selected "Solar Radiation"

Vasari opened a window in which I had to change the measure unit in kWh / m ^ 2.
By clicking on the command "Sun Settings" I had the possibility to change the time period to be studied.

In order to show the largest differnce between summer and winter I decided to select “single day” and “from sunrise to sunset” and then first the 1 january and then the 17august.

While in the first case the scale reaches from 0.0 to 0.5 kWh/m^2 in the second case it is from 0.0 to 3 kWh/m^2.

Furtheron I analysed the solar radiation for each season of the year, to do so i first selected multi-day and then spring solar study, summer solar study and so on.

The analises of summer and spring as well as the analises of winter and fall are quite similar.

But in all of them it is easy to notice that due to the difference in height behind the building there ist a space that is never direct solar radiation which leaded to degradation of the concrete wall .
