1_ES Lab_6 Vasari Analisi Solare- via Malaga ( zona Torrino)_ Federica Melocchi

Action:

- click on Manage to change Project Units ( from feet to meters) 

- change the view of my plane to have a no distorted image ( click on Manage: from Prospective to Orthographic)

- there is a tag under the "orientation cube": click on Set location to search my location ( city and adress). I can put my building in the correct place with correct geographic coordinate( in my case: via Malaga 14, in the Torrino area)

-I want to trace buildings in the area: so I have to click on Crete Mass. I can model the mass with the buildings's true high. For example my building is characterized by seven floors ( each one of 3 meters).

- when I finish the modelling I have to click on Finish Mass to finish the operation.

- to start the solar analysis I have to consider Sun path and Shadows: with the first one you can decide date and hour of your analysis. the second one create the shadows of buildings on plans.

to analyse the shadows's behavior on my buliding, I considered three different moments in the day: in the morning (9.40 a.m.), in the early afternoon (13.10) and in the evening ( 16.05). I look at my building from two different points of view. my building's orientation is North- East, South-West.In each floor therea are 4 apatments: their expositions are: north-east/north-west; north-est/south-east; south- east/south-west; south-west/north-east. In the north-east and south-west facadas there are the main rooms (living-rooms and kichtens); In the north-west and south-west facadas there are bedrooms. in the area of my building there are other ones, but they don't protect my building from the solar irradiations. in the morning the North- West front and South-West one are completely in darkness. This is a bad situation for some apartments ( in this fronts there are living rooms, kitchens and baedrooms in the same apartments).In front of other facadas (in which there are livig rooms, kitchens and bedrooms in other apartments) there is no thing to protect the building: during the winter it is a positive behavior ( solar irradiations enter in the windows and they improve the climate conditions, but during summer it is a no good situation: in this conditions is better to create some protection against the high solar irradiations). in the afternoon there is solar irradiation in Soth-East and South-West fronts: in the winter this two fronts are exposed to the sun for many hours: it is a correct behavior! in the evening the sun dosn't affect North-East and Soth-East fronts. osseravtion: -North-East front: is illuminated only in the morning -North-West front: is illuminated only in the evening -South-East font: is in darkness only in the evening -South-West front: is darkness only in the morning. so some apartments have a good conditions only in the morning, and other ones have a good conditions only in the afternoons.
