Sun, wind and seasonal use are often presented as diagrams after a building has already taken shape. Bringing them into the first design conversation produces more useful options.
Compare scenarios
Test a small number of massing options against shade, exposure and outdoor comfort. The aim is not a perfect diagram but a clear account of what each arrangement improves and what it compromises.
Connect data to experience
A temperature figure has meaning when linked to a place where someone waits, walks or sits. Examine entrances, courtyards and pedestrian routes at the times they are likely to be used.
Keep the strategy legible
The final proposal should make its climate response understandable in plan and section. When passive moves are clear, later technical systems can support rather than rescue the design.
