Private Bungalow

When a house has its living spaces facing north, windows and doors can let in appropriate levels of natural light. Effective ‘day lighting’ can reduce or even eliminate the need for electric lights during daylight hours. Careful placement and sizing of windows, the use of skylights and light tubes, as well as light-colored interior surfaces can maximize benefits, while avoiding additional loads on heating and cooling. It is good practice to have the majority of glazing facing north, with smaller amounts facing east and west because they receive the strongest sun and are the most difficult to shade. For tropical climates, southerly windows can allow light but not heat into your house.
