My house is located in Anguillara Sabazia, in the north of Rome, and the building isn’t near other buildings but it’s isolated in open countryside.

The house doesn’t receives the shadow of other houses but only from some trees. For this reason, i've concentrated to study the shadows of my house on the pavement. The house in oriented along the axis north-west and south-east, and at inside it’s divided in the sleeping area, at south-west, and the living at north-east. To study the course of the sun, i’ve used “autodesk vasari” and at first i’ve import the image of my area with the button “set location”.                       

 Then with the buttons “model” and “create mass” i’ve create some forms similar to my house, neglecting for now the presence of trees. Once created all buildings, i’ve set the solar diagram and the shadows with the buttons “sun path” and “shadows on”.

I've decided to study the course of the sun, from 8:00 am to 18:00 pm (8:00 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 am, 14:00pm, 16:00 pm, 18:00 pm) of the 13th of March, 2014.                The shadows of the 3D model, created with vasari, coincide almost always with those of reality, found in the photos, though missing a lot of details. I studied the two principal front: north-east and north-west and i've post the most important images. 

Doing an initial analysis, i've found that the north-east front is until 11:30 am is irradiaded from the sun an din the afternoon is in the shadow.  So during the summer period, the living area in the afternoon is in shadow and the room is cold. 

The north-west front during the day is always in the shadow. During the winter it involve the presence of humidity mostly in the lower part of wall and on the pavement.
