What is the best orientation for a home?

Category: General

If there is an important aspect when buying a home, it is its orientation. And perhaps it is because it is one of the few aspects that cannot be modified with reforms. So from laHome Inmobiliaria we advise you to study your needs carefully before taking the plunge and see which is the most suitable option.

As you already know, orientation is the position of a home with respect to the sun. Depending on where your façade faces (north, south, east or west), the natural light it receives will change and, consequently, the energy savings. It is estimated that good orientation can reduce consumption by up to 70%.

We are going to proceed to explain each of them and their corresponding advantages:

South

We could say that it is the best decision for areas where it is very cold, since the sun will shine all day long all year round.

North

Homes facing north do not have hours where light falls directly, so it is more beneficial for those areas where the climate is very warm and you want to avoid the heat being overwhelming.

This

The heat and the sun come in in the mornings, until noon. Here you avoid greater exposure during the hottest hours.

West

These houses receive sunlight after noon, during the hottest hours. It is a good alternative for cold areas, helping you keep the house warm during the afternoon and night.

We hope we have helped you. If you are looking for a home and have any requirements regarding its orientation, let us know and we will find what you are looking for.
