FAQs - Sun Study

Did you know that, using specialised software, Bauhu designers can simulate the suns movement over a building in a specific location? This provides vital information allowing us to optimise your modular home’s design and exact orientation to benefit from shading where it is needed most.

A sun study, also known as a solar analysis or solar study, can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • • Optimizing modular building design: A sun study helps Bauhu architects and designers determine the best orientation, placement of windows, and shading devices to optimize natural lighting, reduce energy consumption, and increase comfort levels.
  • • Identifying potential issues: A sun study can identify potential issues with glare, heat gain, and shadowing that could impact the usability of a space.
  • • Enhancing sustainability: A sun study can help reduce the environmental impact of a building by optimizing natural lighting and reducing the need for artificial lighting, heating, and cooling.
  • • Improving occupant comfort: By optimizing natural lighting and reducing glare and heat gain, a sun study can create a more comfortable and inviting space for occupants.
  • • Meeting regulatory requirements: Sun studies are often required as part of the planning and permitting process for new construction projects, especially in areas with strict environmental and energy regulations.
