Orientation

• The north side is warmer in winter and the best place for rooms you use a lot, like living areas.
• The west side gets hot in the afternoon and is best for rooms you don't use often, like bathrooms, garages and laundries.
• The south side is the coolest and good for bedrooms in warmer climates, as well as rooms you don't use often.
• The east side gets morning sun and is good for breakfast rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
• If you can't get an ideal position for every room, you can still have an energy saving home.
• You'll just need to pay more attention to design and this might cost a little more.
• Good position on the block gives you a headstart and makes the rest easier, so lock it in if you can!

Here are some tips for positioning your living areas:

• If the front of your block faces south, place living areas at the rear of your home - an easy solution!
• If the front of your block faces east or west, place living areas at the rear of your home, facing onto the north side of your block.
• If the front of your block faces north, try placing your living areas at the front of your home and increasing your setback from the street with a private, spacious front garden.
