    FORM FOR HEATING


    A building form with ample surface area
    exposed to direct sunlight in winter can
    easily incorporate passive heating
    systems.
    Most heating needs occur in buildings at mid to
     high latitudes (30º – 60º). At these latitudes, 
    the winter sun is low in the sky, striking the
    side of the building that faces the equator, i.e.,
    the solar side (south in the Northern
    Hemisphere, and north in the Southern
    Hemisphere).

    To maximize the solar exposure of a building:

    Elongate a building along the east-west axis to


    maximize the surface area exposed to direct winter
    sunlight.

    Locate occupied spaces along the solar side of the


    building.

    Alternatively, stagger, step, stack, and/or align


    indoor spaces and building forms to ensure they
    have adequate wall surface areas facing the
    equator.

    The extent to which any or all of the swatches are realized in practice depends in large
    measure on their application, local conditions, and the extent to which the designer
    succeeds in understanding and applying the swatches.
