Orientation of a Building

The importance of orientation in a building must be considered when the architect is planning the location of the building on the site itself to ensure the maximum availability of useful natural light and sunlight to the interior.The architect will have the greatest flexibility to get the building orientation right on a greenfield site, where he can plan the site layout to take advantage of the sun path and the availability of the daylight.
