Suitable Orientation of the Building
The orientation of the building towards sunshine significantly affects its energy consumption. Consequently, the desirable proportion and transparency of each sample (the results listed in Table 7) were selected as the optimal pattern of the samples. These patterns involved 90° orbits towards east and west with 10° distance from the south. The required energy consumption for air conditioning was calculated and demonstrated according to this assumption.
