• Fact Sheet
• by Michael Ambrose
• posted 14 May 2008

Solar access in subdivision design is about manipulating the key variables of aspect, shape and density in combination with site characteristics such as topography and slope to achieve an optimum mix of lot sizes that are appropriately oriented to allow for energy efficient house design. When lots are correctly aligned and proportioned, individual energy efficient housing can be built with comparatively less effort because lots are suitable to site a dwelling with good solar access.
