Hi Everyone,
I am looking for guidance on the house/land orientation as I am planning to build a house in Sydney. I want to get the maximum sun in my backyard in the winter. My research suggests that I should have my backyard facing north (i.e. front of the house facing south). However, there will be only limited lots with backyard facing north and so I am exploring how much sun I will get with an east facing backyard. I have attached a example lot at the end of my message and the lot is facing east:
Potential backyard will be east facing which will provide sun in the morning. As the sun moves to the north I think I will still get some sun in backyard from north side as there would not be any building blocking the sun. As the sun moves further north the backyard I will loose the sun due to house shade. By the time sun gets to west I would not get any sun in my backyard. This is my current assessment.
Would anyone advise from thier experience/expertise if my assessment is correct. Also, please advise till what time I can expect to get sun in my backyard from north side.
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks
