Insolation analysis of the plot is an assessment of how sunlight reaches a site throughout the day and year. It identifies which areas get the best light and which are in shadow and is an important step before building design begins. Sunlight analysis takes into account the location in relation to the sides of the world and the changes in sun height at different times of the year. Obstacles such as neighbouring buildings, trees or terrain are also important. These elements can restrict light and affect conditions on the plot.
On the basis of the analysis, the positioning of the building, terrace and garden can be better planned, allowing the best possible use of natural light and solar energy. Thanks to the analysis, overheating can be reduced in summer. Insolation analysis of the plot influences the comfort and energy efficiency of a building. It helps to make informed decisions at the conception stage and to avoid mistakes that are difficult to correct later.
