  • Best House Facing Direction | House Direction | House Facing | House Orientation
    Whether you’re in the market for a new house, evaluating a new home construction site, or simply curious about the siting of your current residence, it’s important to understand the significance of a structure’s orientation.
    “Location, location, location!” may be a well-known real estate rallying cry, but “Orientation, orientation, orientation!” is important as well. Orientation refers to the position of a structure on its site, and it’s typically described by the compass direction that the front facade of the structure primarily faces-for example, a house with its main entrance facing north would be described as north-facing. A home’s orientation is a crucial consideration for both house hunters and prospective new home builders. The direction that your home faces affect the amount of sunlight it receives as well as energy efficiency, heating and cooling costs, home maintenance, energy flow, and more. One orientation is not necessarily better than another; in fact, each orientation offers a different set of benefits. But knowing the benefits and drawbacks can help homeowners make smarter choices.
    Natural Light
    Exposure to natural light has numerous health benefits, including boosting your immune system and contributing to healthy circadian rhythms that promote balanced sleep-wake cycles. Homebuyers are often attracted to houses that receive plenty of natural light, which is why real estate agents like to tout a southern exposure: In the northern hemisphere, south-facing windows receive the greatest amount of sunlight because the sun shines from the south. It’s also important to note that, because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, east-facing homes will receive the most morning sun.
    Radiant Heat
    A home’s orientation is important not only for sunlight but also for warmth. For instance, the southern exposure of a home will collect most of the warmth from the sun, and this can be both a benefit and a detriment. Radiant heat from the sun can help reduce heating costs in the winter, especially in colder climates. But in the summer that heat can lead to increased cooling bills.
    Keeping Cool
    Homes that are oriented to the north typically receive most of their direct sunlight in the back of the building. As a result, a north-facing house may remain cooler in the summer than a south-facing one. In warmer climates, north-facing homes can have the benefit of reduced cooling costs when temperatures climb in summer.
    Home Maintenance
    One downside of direct sun exposure is the damage it can cause over time to siding, roofing, furniture, fabrics, and flooring. The south-facing side of your home will be most affected by sunlight, so you’d be wise to anticipate and budget for such home maintenance as repainting or re-siding. It’s also a good idea to protect the interior furnishings of south-facing rooms by installing window film or UV-blocking curtains or shades or using UV-repelling sprays.

    Oh wow 💫 I thought one direction was better than the other. Thanks for this beautiful video.

    It will make more sense if you discuss the southern and northern hemisphere separately. Weather conditions are very different.

    Could someone explain for me please how the sun shines from the south? If the sun rises in the east, and goes north and sets in the west how does the sun shine from the south? Please explain, thanks.

      It's because the Earth is a sphere and spins on an axis that is tilted 23 degrees

      Just like magnetic field S》N and since it rises from E it must go through S first that's how it rotates

    It makes no sense to say that a north facing home is cooler if you hang out in the back of the house most of the time.

    Sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to get a decent narration recorded, don’t make the video. I hate these robotic voices… I can’t watch it. An interesting subject just wasted.
