1_es Solar Analysis RomaNord Via F.C.Commendone

The area studied is located in the district of Primavalle , a suburb in north of Rome, on the street F..CCommendone. Here we find a housing complex formed by long blocks with 3 or 4 floors and four towers with 15 floors

To study the solar irradiation of my building I used Autodesk Vasari. The first step ​​in the program is to set the unit of measurement in meters ( Manage - > Project Units) . The next step is to set the location where the building is located and the time, that can be changed clicking on ' Setting Sun '.

When I've imported the map I've created the volumes of individual buildings (Model -> Create Mass ) to understand how they interact with each other about shading ( To turn the shadows down ' Shadow ' ) and Lighting.

We can see, from the photos, that the faces is exposed on south and no building contributes to its shading . For this reason, the comfort of the rooms exposed in this direction in the summer is really problematic.

The irradiance has been studied in different daily times:

-on 8:00 o'clock: The sun is in the East. For this reason, in the early morning the face is completely shaded.

-on 12.00 o'clock: the sun is in South. In fact, the study shows that the face is completely sunny. in this direction there are bedrooms so in the winter can be positive, but in the summer, there isn't any kind of horizontal shading and it is a real problem.

-on 18:00 o'clock: The sun is in the west. The face is illuminated, however thanks to axonometries we can see how the buildings interact with each other about the highlights and shadows.
