Lab6C_1Es_Analisi soleggiamento_Iolanda Scafuro

The solar analysis involves my apartment located on the 6^th floor of a building in 144, Marconi Avenue.  The building is located at the corner and is attached to other buildings that surround the street. Therefore it is an area composed mainly by buildings of 6 or 8 floors. The east side of the flat is on Marconi Avenue, while the south one watches on Meucci Street.

The conditions of sun-lighting depend on the presence of high buildings (8 floors) right in front of the south and east side. The apartment is not affected by the light in the north and west side. Vegetation is not so relevant because consisting in small trees in Marconi Avenue. My flat is made up of a living room, a kitchen and two bedrooms which are all exposed to south and east side.

The pictures below were taken on the 15^th of March, 2014 at different times: 9 a.m., 2.00 p.m.

We can see that the south side of the flat is well illuminated all day until sunset and the east side is well illuminated in the morning. Then from the early afternoon the east face is in shadow. After having studied the sun lighting we can conclude making some simple considerations about living in the apartment. In fact, the position of the flat on the 7th floor makes it very well illuminated throughout the day.
