'Place the most important rooms along the south edge of the building, and
spread the building out along the east - west axis'. (Pattern Language,
Alexander. 'Indoor Sunlight')
'Interior spaces can
be supplied with much of their heating and lighting requirements by placing
them along the south face of the building, thus capturing the sun's energy
during different times of the day. Those spaces having minimal heating
and lighting requirements, when placed along the north face of the building
will serve as buffer between the heated spaces and the colder north face'.
(Mazria, Edward. 'The Passive Solar Energy Book')
